Shams Alam Beach Resort
Dive resort on a private beach inside Wadi El Gemal National Park
Shams Alam Beach Resort is a 4-star hotel in southern Marsa Alam, on the southern road at kilometre 45, inside Wadi El Gemal National Park and facing Wadi El Gemal Island. It is one of the first hotels built in the area, in the late 1990s, and has 160 rooms spread across low-rise two-storey buildings. It suits divers, water sports enthusiasts, families and couples looking for a place far from the towns, bearing in mind that it is relatively far from Marsa Alam Airport.
Its private sandy beach stretches around 1 km, fronted by a house reef along the full length of the beach with direct entry from the sand, plus a jetty and 4 coral reefs. The hotel is home to the Wadi Gimal Diving Center, PADI-certified since 1999, with its daily boats and private marina, and the FBC centre for windsurfing and SUP. It has a heated main swimming pool, a spa and a gym, with a buffet restaurant featuring live cooking stations and a beach bar serving wood-fired pizza, and can be booked on an All Inclusive or other board basis.
