Tell me, is it worth going to Marsa Alam in November? Or is it very windy?

what is so special about it? The Red Sea is like the Red Sea ... only the desert around the hotels - there are no promenades / shopping ... and in general everything is very modest
аватар Andrey111
It is always windy in Marsa Alam. Somewhere from mid-November to the end of March, the probability of strong winds is higher. Therefore, look for hotels in the bays.

For those parts, in winter, see Port Ghalib region.
In this bay it will be calmer in terms of wind and there are decent hotels.
Check out Sunrise Marina Resort Port Ghalib. If it works, then it will be a good option.

if you really go, then to the extreme south (if not too lazy) - braika and to the south, and the port is galib, so it's better to go to makadi;)

I fully support regarding bays. Were in November in Abu Dabab, in December in Port Ghalib. Snorkeling every day.
аватар taran_natala
Were in the spring at the Aurora Oriental hotel, the bay is absolutely closed from the winds
аватар Tana999
It depends very much on the year. In 2015, from November 9 to November 16, the air temperature was 28 degrees and the temp. water 28 deg. Was then in Shams. There was no wind

http://snorkup.com/STATYI/SnorklingInEgypt_Marsa_Alam.php - here is some interesting information about Marsa Alam bays
аватар ser_____Witness77
read about Pensee Azur Resort 4*))) "Various reefs (wall, coral islands, etc.), there is a home lagoon, a wide variety of underwater life. Of the minuses, there are somehow a lot of ships in the bay, motorboats often scurry to them. But people right in the bay and next to it we met dolphins. And there is a nice bay about 10 km to the right along the coast (if you are facing the sea) (next to the Mangrove Bay Resort hotel) - you can see the eel garden there."
And there is NOTHING like that close - no dolphins and no such diversity and rather muddy water - visibility 15-20 meters / in Sharm Dahab almost everywhere 30-40 ... about Mars and the riot there everywhere under the water of all living creatures - this is more and more MYTHS of tour operators, a lure for gullible suckers;)

In those hotels where good reefs are not taken now - they have not come out of quarantine. And all those hotels that are in the lower price category,
except Pensy, reefs or not, or with minimal wind, you won’t get out on this reef.
And in Pennsy, in windy weather, you can swim only in the lagoon, where it is often muddy.
And on the outer reef, our friends - experienced snorkelers - were torn off by a wave at the same time from 2 young ladies' masks and almost drowned. The hotels themselves in Mars are fed much more modestly than those in Hurghada or Makadiyevsk. (Hilton Nubian, Albatross Sea World, Akassia are not included in this number)
аватар Andrey111
Well, why, the search engine gives out tours to hotels with bays: Break, Hilton, Malikia, Three corners (fairous). True, prices have jumped sharply, the budget option is only Penny. I thought that in connection with the introduction of tests, the price should sink, but no.
аватар taran_natala
Prices for all resorts have increased. At the Mediterranean resorts the end of the season.
аватар Avtomaxxx
All my life , October - November are the most expensive months

We went to Mars (Hotel Onatti was like this) straight from the shore without pantone through the corals to the open sea. There was a storm almost every day (autumn) ... but you need to have these skills to get in, and most importantly, get out so that you don't get injured ... small scratches don't count ;)
аватар Andrey111
That is precisely why (to avoid inconvenience and injury, given the specifics of this region), you need to choose hotels with a good entry into the sea.
аватар ser_____Witness77
that's exactly why you just need to go to Sharm or Dahab - everything is the same there, just swim more and you will see everything ... or get a dive certificate and then you will definitely see everything - more than in Mars without a balloon;)
аватар Andrey111
Well, where to go, everyone decides for himself. There are many people here who have been to Sharm and Dahab, and after these resorts they go to Marsa Alam.
аватар ser_____Witness77
but in my opinion, the sales of tours to Mars and their agents just became more active) ... Fairy ;) ?
аватар Tana999
ser_____Witness77 maybe you are an agent? :-) Do you want to drive more people to Sharm? )))
At the moment, all people who are sincerely in love with Mars are answering here
аватар Andrey111
Oh, that's how I wanted to answer him. You are ahead of me.
аватар taran_natala
I support Andrey and Tatiana. At any resort in Egypt there are worse and better hotels, reefs are scarce and rich. Even if we take Makadi, the sea near Sunrise is absolutely bald, and in the neighboring hotel "Fort Arabesque" very beautiful coral bumps are already visible, but already near the "Red Sea" group there are very beautiful coral walls. This is for an example. Same with Marsa Alam and Sharm. You have to prioritize. Sharm has bald patches and Hurghada has coral hotels
аватар ser_____Witness77
to listen to you - so you’re going to the logging zone, and not to the resort)) and what’s stopping you from taking a yacht and sailing to Tiran - Ras Mohammed ... well, if you really like coral-fish so much, it’s definitely closer than to fuck in Mars at an abnormal price tag in 3-class hotels ... it was Zakharchenko who launched such a campaign here and in some other FB groups)?
аватар Andrey111
ser_____Witness77, can you imagine, someone likes to go to third-rate hotels for vacations like felling. There are also such mozakhists. And why exactly does it bother you so much?
аватар taran_natala
Well, at least you will understand our hard Bot life, how hard it was at the Hilton in Abu Dabab or in Siva with Concorde, such third-rate students, darkness is simple. And in Ras Mohammed, for the 12th time, I want to. Yes, and in Tiran the 3rd time is also possible. And Zakharchenko began to pay weakly. So I have to post reviews about Makadi and Dahab. And Tatyana, who generally works part-time according to Sharm, posted a review for a week. Oh horror, 10 out of 10.
аватар taran_natala
ser_____Witness77 how do you choose the worst hotel by rating in the region, and even catch a fatter price, and then find fault with the resort for several years
аватар ser_____Witness77
but what difference does it make which hotels in Mars I visited ? - I'm usually in the hotel 3 days out of 7, the rest is diving ... and believe me, I see all sorts of different things under water there. So neither diving / nor visibility (cloudy) / nor living creatures (turtles, groupers, dolphins are not uncommon for me in Sharm) did NOT make ANY special impression on me. Therefore, I am surprised to hear myths about Mars and about miraculous miracles underwater from amateurs who saw a barracuda or a turtle a couple of times)). Therefore, I consider my verdict realistic - you CAN go to Mars if it was cheaper than Sharma (taking into account the transfer distance, the worst service and the SAME thing under water) ... but with a 30-50% cheat - well, that's just stupid ... well, that's how to buy yourself pants from Versace or a T-shirt from Philip Plain 3 times more expensive than the same in quality, but less publicized and very proud of it - this is the lot of snobs and fools (of course this is purely my IMHO;) - pure fingering and sketching - oh we visited Mars - it's a miracle! ))
аватар taran_natala
Thank you, really laughed)))
аватар ser_____Witness77
Yes, laugh to your health - I have a romantic-romantic mood today)
аватар Tana999
I also laugh a little))) But in general, I understand Sera. After repeated use, the eye "blurs" And he does not see the difference. I don't drive very often and I can clearly see the difference.
аватар ser_____Witness77
what is he blurting out? I see a lot of interesting things in Sharm ... it's not my fault that there are mostly blind people here)
