Marsa Shagra
Located just 40km South of Marsa Alam airport, Marsa Shagra is the largest and most well-known of our locations. It boasts one of the most beautiful house reefs in the Red Sea, thanks to the strict environmental protection we enforce in the village.
The unlimited diving concept on the house reef offers a unique opportunity to dive with absolute freedom and flexibility, which is what attracts divers to Marsa Shagra. With over 20 nearby dive sites on our regular diving program, including the world-famous Elphinstone and Marsa Abu Dabab, divers are spoilt for choice and can expect to encounter the very best marine life that the Red Sea has to offer.
Marsa Shagra is the perfect introduction to diving in the Southern Red Sea.

Marsa Shagra Village, Marsa Alam, Egypt. October 2019
Marsa Shagra Village and its Dive Center are excellent examples of how Egypt's environment can be cared for while giving visitors a wonderful Red Sea experience.
Red Sea Diving Safari in the southern Red Sea (accessible to international visitors from Marsa Alam airport) is one of Egypt’s leading environmental activists and a pioneer of sustainable tourism development. Its destinations consist of three villages along coast: Wadi Lahami Village, Marsa Nakari Village and Marsa Shagra Village.
I stayed at Marsa Shagra and hope to return to stay at the other locations.
The environmental policies of the Village include only providing guests with one single use bottle of water when they arrive, which can then be refilled (no charge) at water stations throughout the grounds.
Divers (and snorkelers) can start their day early as they can enjoy the house reef or there are zodiacs available to take them to many other reefs in the area. Trips are booked and confirmed the previous day, and the touch screen booking system in the dive center office is easy to use, with staff always available for advice and folders which show each reef and detail each excursion.
There is wildlife to watch, birds and especially around sunrise time hundreds of tiny hermit crabs are active near the rocks at the shoreline (see video).
I stayed in a fully equipped tent which was comfortable and gave me the sea just outside my door and was perfect in the late Summer temperatures, but there are also chalets for those who prefer four solid walls.

Red Sea Diving Safari is fast becoming Egypt's most popular diving destination. Our program covers more than 60 inshore and offshore dive sites along approximately 200 km of fringing reef coastline. Each one of our villages offers you the opportunity to experience a feature of what has famously become The Eco-diving Adventure.

May 2018 - Southern Egypt/ Marsa Alam.
We spent one week in Marsa Shagra Eco Village with Red Sea Diving Safari.
The village ist one of the oldest - meaning one of the first hotels and destinations especially for divers in southern Egypt.
Marsa means natural bay so there's a natural sandy entrance opening to the Red Sea and the fringing coral reef.
The Hotel used to be a tent only camp but has been and keeps being renovated and now one can choose between staying in a luxurious tent or a bungalow with A/C.
It became a hot spot for divers who seek unspoiled house reef diving on a non-limit base. That means as an advanced diver you just go get a tank, put your name and dive plan on the white board and off you go to explore the underwater world that lies to your feet.
There is a reef to the northern and southern side along the coast and you can plan your dives as from the beach back to the beach or you can use a Zodiak to take you out and pick you up.
The house reef is a rich and unspoiled coral habitat with all the typical life of the Red Sea to a depth of 20+ meters, then the sandy bottom leads to a drop of at 30+ meters.
Off shore lies a couple of fantastic and world known dive sites such as Elphinstone, Shab Abu Dabab and others usually only visited by divers on a liveaboard safari.
In this video I used footage of our dives at the house reef and of the trips we did to Elphinstone, Marsa Abu Dabab and Shab Abu Dabab 3.
