Once a peaceful fishing village, the Red Sea resort of Marsa Alam is today one of Egypt’s fastest growing tourist destinations, a tropical paradise offering an intoxicating mix of palm fringed sandy beaches, mangroves and incredible coral reefs. Previously in the shadows of the more popular resorts of Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh, the increase in tourist visitors to the region has resulted in a considerable increase in demand for property in Marsa Alam over the past twelve months. 

The resort of Marsa Alam is situated on the Egyptian coast of the Red Sea, approximately 280 kilometres south of the resort of Hurghada. A hugely popular resort amongst scuba divers, Marsa Alam offers access to some of the Red Sea’s most stunning dive sites, made popular by the legendary Jacques Cousteau so many years ago. The southerly location of Marsa Alam, just north of the Tropic of Cancer, also ensures that the resort offers almost year round sunshine, with temperatures averaging around 35 degrees Celsius throughout the warmer summer months. 

An increasingly popular tourist resort, Marsa Alam today offers a wide range of activities designed to cater for visitors of all ages and tastes. For fans of water sports, the resort offers a wealth of opportunities including deep-sea fishing, windsurfing and world class scuba diving. Further inland, activities such as the desert safaris or visits to the Emerald Mines can be explored at a more leisurely pace.

One of the main factors behind the recent increase in interest in Marsa Alam, has been the regions increased accessibility via the newly opened international airport. Previously difficult to access, visitors were forced to fly into the airport further north, before driving south for up to 4-5 hours. Today, the new international airport offers easy and convenient access to a number of the major European and Middle Eastern transport hubs including London, Paris, Dubai and Berlin. All of these destinations now offer direct flights to Marsa Alam in less than five hours, considerably increasing opportunities for the package travel industry. 

Understandably, the increase in tourist visitors to Marsa Alam, coupled with the regions relatively undeveloped status, has meant an increased level of interest from the major international property developers. Keen to capitalise on the regions anticipated growth, a number of new developments such as the stunning new Marsa Alam Beach Resort have been announced. These developments, launched early in the development cycle of the region, are likely to prove popular, and commercially successful in the years to come.

For investors looking for new and emerging opportunities in Egypt, buying property in Marsa Alam should be given due consideration. Increased levels of tourism, coupled with ongoing improvements in infrastructure mean the region as a whole offers considerable potential for long term appreciation as well as rental return.

Scattered along the picturesque shores of the Red Sea, the resorts of Sharm El Sheikh, Hurghada, El Gouna and Marsa Alam are now amongst the most popular tourist destinations for the large European travel market.

Every year, large numbers of visitors are attracted to the region by the superb beaches, world class scuba diving and international cuisine. These attractions, coupled with the relatively cost of travelling to Egypt (especially in relation to the Euro), have meant that Egypt is set to be the destination of choice for people looking for a summer vacation in 2009.

The dramatic increase in visitor levels to the region over the past two years, coupled with the relatively low price of property in the region has meant that property in the Red Sea resorts has become increasingly desirable in recent times, as investors seek to capitalise on the increasing investment opportunities available throughout the region.

The Red Sea resorts cover a large area of western Egypt, ranging from Marsa Alam in the far south, up to the hugely popular resort of Sharm El Sheikh on the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula. Relatively undeveloped, the entire region offers huge scope for future development, as the resorts gradually expand along the large stretches of available coastline. It would be fair to say that it is this scope for future growth in the Red Sea which is really proving attractive to investors and property developers alike, who are beginning to look at Red Sea property as a long term investment opportunity.

Alongside the relatively low cost of property in Egypt, and the increasing levels of tourism into the country, other factors have also combined to develop the investment opportunities available. In particular, the Egyptian government has adopted a pro-foreign investment stance in recent years, which has undoubtedly paid dividends as large numbers of investors seek to capitalise on the pro-investment environment being created in Egypt. This, coupled with the increasing accessibility through the increased number of cheap flights to the region has meant a large increase in investor interest on a scale not previous seen in Egypt.
