About the location
Marsa Shagra, the largest and most modern of the three resorts, is located in southern Egypt. Its two impressive house reefs are a popular paradise for divers, snorkelers and snorkelers, where the extremely rich and diverse wildlife is spread out almost at our feet. Just a 10-meter walk from the shore, we can plunge into a fascinating aquarium world. The reef is home to turtles, clownfish, moray eels, a variety of fish, and dolphins often appear. The house reef offers numerous diving opportunities: it can be easily reached on foot or even by boat. In addition, the reef provides unlimited diving opportunities, so everyone can discover this fabulous aquatic world at their own pace.
Shagra also has the largest surface life, with an impressive restaurant with a panoramic view of the sea serving delicious international cuisine. The resort also has a shop and a playground, as well as a huge diving base, where you can always find a full tank, changing room, shower, and from where you can start your dives. Pleasant shady resting areas provide a comfortable place to rest between dives, and there is also a snack bar where you can drink unlimited water, cola, fanta, sprite, coffee, and fresh pastries in the afternoon.
Here you can choose from a variety of accommodations that offer comfort according to your personal needs. The Egyptian-style yet modern tents located on the beach, the cozy stone houses, or the higher-end stone houses with private terraces, air conditioning, panoramic views, bathrooms and exclusive furnishings are all perfect choices for a relaxing and unique experience.
There are many exciting diving opportunities waiting for you: you can dive among the magnificent coral pillars, explore the impressive canyons, or even adventure along the long coral corridors. And if you are looking for more extreme experiences, one of the most famous diving sites in Egypt, Elphinstone Reef, is just a 20-minute boat ride away, where you can dive with sharks, big fish and enjoy truly exciting dives. The other dive sites are also perfect for beginner divers, ensuring a comfortable and safe diving experience.
