Marsa Egla
★★★★☆
(6,690)
A great shore dive that is located 11km from Marsa Alam. There is easy access to the water in a bay format, suitable for entry level and experienced divers alike. The reef extends to the north and to the south where the bay divides; you can decide which direction to go...they are both good dives.
The sea grass in this location attract sea turtles and sometimes dugongs (sea cows). However, this location guarantees that you will see scorpion fishes, moray eels, and so much more.
