We were here for two weeks in a deluxe chalet and found the whole experience brilliant. It's ideal for solo divers or groups of all levels/experience. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The food was varied and of a good standard. If you want to sunbathe the are no loungers just large bean bags and they are few and... More

We had a lovely stay in Marsa Shagra village, the only problem is that is was too short... Really liked the flexibility of the diving as well as the dive shop professionnalism. The price of the stay is more than reasonnable for what you get (food, diving, quality of rooms or tent). We've been blew minded by Elphinston (our first... More

The number of divers we met at Marsa Shagra who are return visitors says it all...and can't recommend Oona's Divers more highly for all their advice and expertise when booking All staff were great, from restaurant and cafeteria to reception, office, dive shade, equipment hire...particular thanks on the diving front to Samy, Ishmael and Cyril Things didn't go entirely smoothly...

Spent almost a week at Marsa Shagra, it was absolutely wonderful. I thought it seemed kind of deserted (and "deserty") beforehand, but it's a place with the perfect combination of calmness and action, at least for me. There are always things to do, interesting things to look at (lots of cute hermit crabs for example. We also saw sharks from... More

Admittedly, i haven't been on many diving trips. But the diving in Marsa Shagra was amazing, the house reef offers amazing corals and an abundance in fish, also we encountered both dolphins and eagle ray. And the freedom to just go out and dive from the shore or by zodiac anytime you wish is wonderful. Diving equipment, staff and excursions... More

I accompanied my partner on an underwater photography course here for 4 nights, then moved on a bit further down the coast to the sister village of Marsa Nakari. We stayed in a 'luxury' tent both times. I loved it! Plenty of room in the tent, although i recommend you take your own pillow as the ones provided are very... More

Marsa Shagra has a wonderful feel to it, something so relaxed and chilled out.. I love a holiday with freedom, where you do exactly what you want to do no pressure.. Well Shagra had it all for me. The freedom to dive with your buddy once you have completed your check dive is one of the best learnings in diving... More

Yes, first rate house reef and access to the awesome Elphinstone reef for a few dollars more. Unlimited and delicious food. Not suitable for snorkellers, snorkelling on the reef flat is forbidden and there is too much boat traffic to make snorkelling on the edge of the reef safe. I stayed in a basic tent which was fine but the... More

Wonderful experience: unlimited diving, many beautiful dive sites (among which the house reef, which is excellent!), staff extremely helpful and friendly. My best diving vacation yet (better than Maldives among others).

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Since our founding in 1990, Red Sea Diving Safari has grown into a world-class diving destination. Our eco-diving concept has been internationally recognized as a model of tourism development and our villages offer you the experience of what has become known as “The Eco-diving Adventure”. All aspects of the RSDS experience promote nature-based tourism and maximum diving enjoyment. Our villages were created in consideration of diving enthusiasts and our diving program covers more than 60 shore-based and off-shore dive sites. We offer our guests a variety of diving possibilities including; unlimited diving on our house reef, shore dives, night dives, and boat dives to world-famous dive sites such as Elphinstone and the Fury Shoals. Our operation consists of 3 lodges; Marsa Shagra Village, Marsa Nakari Village and Wadi Lahami Village. Our team also manages Pioneer Divers - Marsa Alam. Our villages are small because we maintain a minimal-impact policy towards the environment. Our guests take advantage of an exclusive experience in a nature based atmosphere. Our villages are simple with traditional eastern style domed architecture and every guest room enjoys an unobstructed sea view. Each one of our villages has a maximum capacity which is based on the carrying capacity of the house reef. Visiting our villages is more than just your typical diving vacation. By the time your holiday is over, you will leave with a new appreciation for the serenity and simplicity of our nature based atmosphere. Explore ancient ruins of long gone civilizations and learn about the long history of the Red Sea region. Take a trek through the desert to observe amazing wildlife and the Bedouins of the south. Meditate under the mutating colors of the setting sun and then fall asleep star-gazing under a moonless night. ... more   less
