Why this trip
Where the desert passes almost directly into the Red Sea lies Marsa Alam, a stretch of coast for couples who want more reef than razzmatazz. Unlike in Hurghada, there is not a hotel on every corner here, and the water is rightly regarded as clear. From October to April it is warm without scorching. The day begins with the snorkel: in front of many beaches lies a house reef where you see fish and corals without a boat.
Dugongs live in the shallow bays in the area, and if you are lucky you will meet them. After swimming there is time for an evening on the beach and a meal under the stars. If you would like to leave the coast, head into the desert or travel to Luxor or Aswan, where the temples on the Nile await. Hurghada and El Gouna lie further north and can be combined if needed.
The flight takes about 4 to 4.5 hours, and according to the information available a visa is required, via visa on arrival or eVisa, please check. How you combine culture and coast in one trip is something Honeymoon will clarify with you on a video call.
Getting there
Honeymoon arranges the journey from your Swiss airport so that the honeymoon begins with a calm arrival.
