Pristine coral reefs invite snorkelers to explore Abu Dabab Bay's underwater world where sea turtles and dugongs often make appearances. Rangers at Wadi el Gemal National Park can guide you to desert valleys and coastal mangroves teeming with wildlife.
When locals would tell me about Marsa Alam, they would always tell me how great of a diving location it is, however they would always lower my expectations when talking about places to stay. Iberotel certainly contradicts all that I’ve been told. The hotel design is chic & modern. The lobby is beautiful so are the grounds, pool and restaurants. The rooms are on the smaller side but your day will be spent outside. The hotel is located on a bay with a stunning coral reef that is swimming distance...

Ali at front desk was exceptional. Lovely five star all inclusive resort, and unlike many Egypt Five Star ratings, this one was earned. Spacious, clean and well maintained, well worth the extra money vis a vis the adjacent JAZ resorts, even more luxurious and modern feeling than the other nearby Steigenberger Coraya resort which has a more clustered and rustic vibe, although closer to the sandy beach.

The Hilton was amazing. Marsa Alam is difficult to get around so an all inclusive best fit out needs. My only complaint is the pool was too cold. But we liked the food, staff was great and very friendly. The hotel offered really great services for people spending a week or more. They have entertainment and activities along with a variety of restaurant options.
