The house reef is perfect for those learning to dive. Plus, because Marsa Shagra house reef is so accessible it can be dived whenever you want!

Google reviews for Red Sea Diving Safari state that the centre is “very organized and well equipped, the activities and dives are managed very well and the staff are very kind.”


Marsa Shagra Beach

Like most beaches in Egypt, Marsa Shagra Beach is a private beach. This means that you can’t just wander across the beach from neighouring resorts. However, you can pay to access the beach and use the facilities. Of course, the sea is available to all to use. It is possible to snorkel the Marsa Shagra House reef and into the bay from the jetty of your hotel. However, you would need to go back to your hotel jetty to get out of the sea.


Egypt’s Southern Red Sea Coastline

Marsa Shagra sits comfortably on Egypt’s Southern Red Sea Coastline. Further north is Hurghada and the associated resort towns of El Gouna, Sahl Hasheesh, Makadi and Soma Bay. Then there is the long stretch of coastline from Safaga that extends past Marsa Alam city.

Abu Dabbab is one of the many amazing locations on Egypt’s Southern Red Sea coastline, close to Marsa Shagra. Abu Dabbab is just 13km north of Marsa Shagra and is home to Turtle Beach. You should definitely take the 15 minute drive to Abu Dabbab and learn about the turtle conservation work taking place.
