Why this trip
The Red Sea shows its stillest side at Marsa Alam. The coastal strip in the south of Egypt is less developed than the better-known seaside resorts, the reefs often begin right in front of the beach, and the horizon belongs to the desert mountains. From October to April the climate is mild and the water clear. Snorkelling is a form of movement here that needs hardly any preparation: a mask is enough to glide over coral gardens.
The bay of Abu Dabbab is known for dugongs that graze on seagrass in the shallow water, and for turtles. Inland leads the Wadi El Gemal National Park, where mangroves, gazelles and desert valleys can be seen in one day. If you like stillness in the evening, you will find ample retreat under the starry sky of the desert. The journey takes about 4 to 4.5 hours, and the stay is usually spent in a resort by the sea.
El Gouna and Siwa lie scattered across the country and can be considered for a later trip. For a first time, a video call with Wellness helps to clarify whether sea, desert or both are wanted.
Getting there
So that recovery begins early, Wellness plans the journey from Zurich or Basel-Mulhouse with as little stress as possible.
