Last week on Friday 26 April, beach explorer and excursion organizer Steven ( whose Egyptian name is Seifein) went to try out Sheikh Malik beach - a virtually undiscovered stretch of beautiful sand just 20 km to the north of Marsa Alam airport. Unlike most other good beaches in Marsa Alam it has no neighbouring hotels. Steven tried to give a commentary but unfortunately it was unusually windy. Here's his brief video report -
Marsa Alam entrepreneur Steven enjoying the beach (lucky guy) at Sharm El Luli beach earlier this week. One of Marsa Alam's secrets. Many people know about Marsa Alam's beautiful coral reefs and unique marine life. They attract divers from around the world and can equally be enjoyed by snorkelers, but few people realize that some Marsa Alam beaches are beautifully sandy too - this photo could have been take in the Caribbean.

Twenty years ago Marsa Alam was little more than a sleepy fishing village, but the region's beautiful beaches and its' virgin reefs are set to make it a prime holiday spot. Our advice is to go before the crowds discover it.
Already there are one or two areas where the environment is at risk. See my latest news report.
But much of Marsa's spectacular coral reefed coastline remains virtually untouched by man and the region offers spectacular and magical moments such as this video of Dennis the Dugong on YouTube.
