Wadi Lahami Village

Top choice in Marsa Alam


Tucked into a remote mangrove bay 120km south of Marsa Alam, this hideaway is worth the extra effort it takes to get here. Diving is the main activity – the pristine reefs of the Fury Shoals are easily accessed by boat – but the lonely location is perfect for nature-lovers too. Service is as good as at sister camp Marsa Shagra.

Wadi Lahami has a thorough environmental policy and recycles waste and water as well as supporting and promoting sustainable diving practices. It offers simple but spotless and comfortable accommodation in a choice of two-bed tents sharing bathroom facilities or stone chalets with en suite. A superb choice for those seeking beautiful vistas and plenty of tranquillity.
