Marsa Nakari

Marsa Nakari is a charming village featuring a sheltered bay just 40 km south of Marsa Alam city. A smaller, quieter and more remote alternative to Marsa Shagra but wilh all the benefits. A fantastic house reef just minutes from the shore, unlimited diving and peace and tranquility. The perfect mixture for a perfect dive holiday.

Marsa Nakari's main appeal is its proximity to the Samadai protectorate (Dolphin House); one of the Red Sea’s most important national parks. The coral reef system of this off-shore reef and the dolphins that inhabit its lagoon are one of the southern Red Sea’s most popular attractions. One of three natural bays, which also include Marsa Shagra Village and Wadi Lahami Village, which essentially put the region of Marsa Alam on the map.

At Marsa Nakari, Hossam has endeavoured to promote sustainable tourism along with eco diving and his educational diving programmes are a continuation of his desire to ensure the long term future of this area. This unique tour gives divers exclusive access to many outstanding reefs including Elphinstone and Samadi Reefs from this still relatively remote location. Marsa Nakari benefits from an extensive and diverse house reef with hard and soft corals of offshore quality. Our guests say these villages are the best value and all-round diving experience you will find in the Red Sea.

Marsa Nakari is the smaller and more remote alternative to Marsa Shagra and is suitable for all levels of qualification from non divers to instructors – there really is something for everyone. A small village with a maximum occupancy of 120 people, Marsa Nakari offers the following types of accommodation Beach Safari Tents, Royal Tents, Mandarah Lodges, Madyafa Guest Houses and Deluxe Madyafa Guest Houses. Linen is provided. You will need to bring your own towels for beach and shower use with the exception of guests staying in the Madyafa Guest Houses where a shower towel will be provided.
