Workation in Marsa Alam: the essentials

Reefs are the reason to come this far south on Egypt's Red Sea coast. Shore dives and snorkelling at Abu Dabbab bring you close to turtles, and boats head out to Elphinstone reef for sharks. The town itself is young: most of it dates from after 1995, and growth picked up when Marsa Alam International Airport opened in 2003, about 60 km north near the marina of Port Ghalib. Resorts and small settlements are strung out along the desert highway, so a stay here means long drives and few cafés. We know of no coworking space in the area, and summers are very hot.
