Hurghada vs Marsa Alam
Hurghada is practical: flights, dive shops, family resorts. Marsa Alam stretches quieter, closer to wilder reef. We do not sell “paradise.” We match the coast to how much nightlife you want versus how many mornings you want underwater.
Snorkellers and first-time divers get different boat rhythms. We ask about ears, swimming comfort, and house-reef preference before anyone books a package named after a famous drop-off.
