Diving experience
The Marsa Shagra Village offers a cool mix of modern luxury and natural simplicity, bringing together the best of both worlds.
The Village's special vibe comes from guests of all nationalities, whose shared appreciation and love for this place often sparks new friendships.
Thanks to years of dedication to environmental protection, Marsa Shagra is home to one of the most beautiful and best-preserved house reefs in the area.
Divers can enjoy unlimited diving on the house reef and reach the Elphinstone Reef after a quick speedboat ride.
Originally founded as a dive camp, the Village is the perfect base for divers to explore the Red Sea.
