Storms in Marsa Alam
Please tell me when to go to Marsu Alam so that it is not so windy. In Hurghada, for example, the wind near the sea every day. But he does not interfere with swimming. and we didn't track any flags. I read reviews on Mars (diving is cooler than in Hurghada) - but the constant winds that do not allow swimming in the sea are embarrassing.

The best time is October. Again, there are hotels with their own bays, where there is no particular problem.

Winds in Mars, of course, have a place to be. Go in October - you won't regret it. And for lovers of the Red Sea and its beauties, Mars is the best place (my opinion). We don't want to go to Sharm after her. We go there and along the surrounding bays, where there are no hotels yet - super! Magnificent reefs and not frightened fish and animals.

Or maybe you can tell me a hotel to your taste. I don't care about amenities and food - I need a sea with a sandy entry (but not 100 m to a depth). diving there, of course, everywhere :-) How much does a dive cost?

Why Marsa Alam? And you do not consider Taboo? There are no winds, there are no sharks either, the Sinai mountains are very beautiful, close to Israel and Jordan, the hotels are spacious and beautiful. This year I had a rest in SWISS INN DREAMS 5*, and last year - in Radisson RADISSON BLU RESORT TABA 5*. I liked it in both hotels ... In Radisson, the territory is greener. And what is important - there are almost no Russian vacationers ... Our friends rested in MOVENPICK RESORT TABA 5 * and HILTON TABA 5 * - they were also very satisfied ...

We were last year in Mars. (Triton) September. The wind was only happy because it was hot. We chose the hotel for a very long time. The reviews about the storm were very frightening. There were 14 days and only 1 day we were afraid of the wave. And so everything is fine, but for me personally, for underwater filming, swaying interfered a little. Of course, it’s quieter in taba, we always like it there, but because of the damned turtles, anyway, in September we go with my wife again to Mars. But already to the bay. But again, not because of the wind, but because of the turtles. Good luck

vispolal was advised to Mars because of the most beautiful diving (I love this business :-)). How is it with snorkeling and diving? Your review about Taboo is not on the site :-)

1971yes thanks. Judging by your reviews, snorkeling in Mars is better and not only because of the turtles. Which hotel with a bay did you choose for September?

Tana999- Last year we went on an excursion to Abu Dabab Bay, turtles like our apricots. Sizes up to 1.5 meters. There was a hotel-Solimar Abu Dabbab nearby. Braika is also highly recommended. .

I disagree with October...

of the eight days of rest, only two days were swimming in the sea
all other days wind, waves and black flag (((

Mars, of course, "acts" in the winds, but last year they were from October 10 - it was super! There were days when there was a complete calm in the morning, the water was glass! I did not even imagine that such things happen in the Red Sea at all.

jabetta you are probably lucky (unlike us)
we have heard so much about beauties
the underwater world is in Mars (compared to Sharm)
that without hesitation bought a tour for October
and hit the very winds (((
but we were in the second half of October
maybe it played some role
In fairness, it must be said that the underwater world
really richer than Sharmovsky
but, unfortunately, we did not manage to admire them every day

Read the review of volkis, about one of our trips to the bay, there are pictures there (I still didn’t finish my last year’s review on the sea and the surrounding bays, somehow I was attacked by depression about Egypt - either sharks, or a revolution. One frustration) :

To Tana999: for diving in Mars - the prices there for this business are steep (from 60 EURO per person), fortunately, we do without it. This year we planned a hotel for ourselves, to the bay of which we went self-propelled last year - the reef impressed us and we realized that we would have something to do there even for two weeks and do not care about everything else. If interested, write in a personal.

Weather is a lottery, because everything is only for your luck. IMHO you need to go from the beginning of October. At the end of the month, the winds will pick up...
In general, it all depends on personal swimming skills (for snorkeling, it’s purple for divers) - with a wind of up to 10 meters per second, it’s quite possible to swim.

Now I looked at the weather in Mars for two weeks: stable 4-6 m/s. Pretty quiet in the morning.
Mars means rest by type: from morning to breakfast, swim (it will still be quiet) then lie down on the beach and be blown by the wind - it's not hot. Well, "under closing" the swim is already as it should.
In this mode, I think the chance to dive increases significantly.
At hotels that go directly to the reef wall, the water does not lose transparency during waves, which cannot be said about sandy bays - there the "dregs" rise.

volkis - and when you lie on the beach, you can even stand in the sea to go. If you just wallow so at least in the water :-)

Yes, of course you can. many do. But I'm not a fan of this, I need to jump from the pier and immediately be covered in water.

Yeah, I don't like just lying on the beach either. That's why I asked about water. Please specify - you swim in the morning, in the evening (if you're lucky) you swim. And during the day you can still swim from the pier (so that all in the water)? From your answer, I understood that you can swim only in the morning and in the evening

You can always swim - it's all individual and depends on many factors. But, according to anyone, the main swimming is in the morning.
