Looking for the best hotels in Marsa Alam for your upcoming solo trip? Don\u2019t make the mistake of booking your hotel just because it looks nice in the photos. Trust me, where you stay has a huge impact on your entire travel experience.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As I mentioned in my Marsa Alam guide<\/strong><\/a>, attractions are scattered along a remote coastline rather than a walkable city center. Depending on where you stay, you could either make getting around easy for yourself or end up spending lots of time and money on transportation. That doesn\u2019t sound very great given that the means of transportation in Marsa Alam is already limited.<\/p>\n

But don\u2019t let that discourage you; if you\u2019re here, then you\u2019ve come to the right place. After exploring Marsa Alam as a solo female traveler, I put together this guide to help you figure out which regions and accommodations make the most sense for you, depending on what you want to see and do.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

About Marsa Alam and Its Geography<\/span><\/h2>\n

We\u2019ve already established that attractions, as well as hotels, are scattered along a remote coastline rather than a walkable city center. That\u2019s why choosing the right place to stay is crucial, especially if you\u2019re a solo traveler like me.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a complete breakdown of the regions in Marsa Alam where there are accommodation options. There are other zones like Wadi El Gemal, for instance, but since it\u2019s a natural protected area, traditional hotels aren\u2019t available; you can go camping<\/strong><\/a> there with a permit, though.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That said, the following breakdown only covers regions where there are hotels, lodges, and resorts.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Where to Stay in Marsa Alam As a Solo Traveler<\/span><\/h2>\n

#1 Port Ghalib<\/span><\/h3>\n

What makes Port Ghalib special is that, unlike the rest of Marsa Alam, you\u2019re not locked in your resort. There\u2019s actually a promenade and a marina zone, where you can easily walk to restaurants, caf\u00e9s, and shops. This is also where you may be hopping on a boat for some excursions, such as the Marsa Mubarak trip where you get to snorkel with turtles and dugongs.<\/p>\n
