Wonderful bay with a large seagrass area, where you can find giant sea turtles and a dugong (sea cow)! There's also beautiful coral reefs. It's just 1 km away from the 3 corners Fayrouz Plaza and totally worth visiting! We were luckiest when we went there shortly after sunrise.

We visited the Sataya Reef on Tuesday 18th Sept. It is a long trip from the hotels meaning an early start. For our family who love marine life we had the best experience thanks to our guide team. Firstly Mahmood who's English was excellent and entertained us with his knowledge. We all took seasickness tablets (recommended) as it was fairly windy. We arrived at the reef and sure enough a pod of spinner dolphins were there . We hit the jackpot and swam with them around the reef. We then snorkelled around the coral which was lovely . A lovely lunch and we continued snorkelling. Over 20 spinner dolphins some with babies and were so close! Probably the best trip we have ever done ! The guys on the team were great at getting us into the rib so wr could move around the reef to be near the dolphins. Thank you !

The only Aqua Park near to Marsa Alam in the coast line. The water slides are flooding out of the walls taking you to the world of excitement and fun.

This is a lovely park, plenty of sunbeds and a wide range of clean and safe slides for small children and more daring adults. The staff are very helpful.

Reviewed By AMohsen - Port Said, Egypt
It is another hidden gem. This spot is so picturesque where there is Mangrove forest along the shoreline, in the sea, and a big one is like an island in the middle of the sea that allows pretty pictures. There is only one problem with the long queues for shower rooms and toilets.
