It is famous for diving and fishing. Now, Marsa Alam is one of the fastest-growing holiday resorts in Egypt, which is popular with windsurfers and divers. Sun worshippers are fortunate enough to discover the resort’s remote tranquillity. In the past few years, Marsa Alam has become an important touristic destination, especially after the opening of Marsa Alam international AirPort.

Many people, tourists, and Egyptians believe that Marsa Alam , in the few coming years, will become another Sharm El-Shiekh. The new Marsa Alam International Air Port is the first privately owned and operated the International commercial airport in Egypt. Furthermore, it is the first airport in aviation history operating under a complete BOT system. Although previously a small fishing village, the construction of an International Airport in 2001 has established Marsa Alam as an upcoming and exclusive holiday resort.

With a host of tourism projects planned for the near future, Marsa Alam is set to rival the popularity of established Egyptian resorts, such as Hurghada and Sharm El-Shiekh.
