Marsa Alam is an unspoilt village which makes an ideal base for those looking for a quieter break. It is within a three to four hour drive of Hurghada. Tourism has found Marsa Alam largely because of its location on the banks of the Red Sea. Boat trips to see its multi-coloured fish, dolphins, turtles and the coral reefs that lie just offshore have made it popular; so much so that it now has an increasing number of luxury resort style accommodation.
If shopping is you thing you must visit the bazaars because they offer the widest selection of local crafts and artefacts, while designer goods can be found in the larger stores. But to experience the true shopping experience in Hurghada, head for the bazaars along the coast roads. Here traditional souvenirs like copper ware, brasses, rugs and carpets, crafts such as glass vases and little perfume bottles, leatherwear such as belts and sandals, and handmade jewellery can be found, along with masses of colourful textiles. Most bazaars will have stalls selling herbs and spices like cloves, saffron and turmeric, which give them their characteristic aroma.
