The guides at Marsa Explorer

From the Red Sea to the Nile Valley, one same passion for showing you Egypt.

For years, the local team has been exploring the Marsa Alam region, Egypt, in search of the most beautiful reefs and the most memorable encounters with marine life — from the dolphins of Sataya to the untouched depths of the Qulaan Islands. They've also built ties with guides in El Quseir, Cairo and Luxor, to take you further, in the footsteps of ancient Egypt.

Whether you're an experienced diver or simply curious to discover the underwater world and its millennia-old temples, the team puts its experience and passion at your service to give you an authentic trip, in small groups where everyone can fully enjoy every moment. What matters most is sharing that passion and showing you the beauty of the Red Sea as much as that of Egypt.
