Großartige Einrichtung für Taucher. Direktes tauchen im Hausriff und viele Möglichkeiten für großartige Trips. Wifi könnte etwas stabiler/besser sein.

This was my third stay in Shagra and although it has grown considerably since my first visit there in 2014, it still retains that original vibe that is just pure friendliness, laughter and joy. You get to talk to strangers just as easily as you get friendly with the incredible staff which goes out of their way to please you and make your stay as comfortable as possible. A big thank you and shout-out to the whole crowd. Compared to 10 years ago, the house reef has clearly suffered and there could always be more efforts made to protect it (like making people use reef-safe sunscreen) but all in all snorkeling and diving there remains exciting. A word of caution if you're thinking of bringing your drone. Don't. They're not allowed for tourists in Egypt and will be most likely be detected at Marsa Alam Airport, then kept in custom's storage and released to you for a moderate fee IF your return flight departs from the same airport you arrived at. You can thank me later ;-)

Fifth trip to Marsa Shagra and never disappoints. Mixed diving ability and experience, so two of us diving straightaway, one doing a refresher course and one finishing off his PADI OW qualification. Instructors very good and checked in during the holiday. Diving as relaxed as ever and so much to see! Diving shade guys are exceptional- so helpful, friendly and cheerful, and went above and beyond every day. Equipment guys also very helpful with a couple of minor issues. Hire equipment good quality and well maintained. Restaurant staff excellent, with a special shout out to Mo Saleh and the young guy who always brought the right drinks without us even asking. Accommodation spotless and comfortable. Cafe staff efficient and friendly. The cleaning guys and maintenance staff always gave smiles and greetings. Reception staff always there and helpful in sorting out a doctor visit and a tour. Absolutely a winning formula for us but definitely for the diving enthusiast- don’t expect swimming pools and nightlife. Even the beach dogs have it just right- enjoy being petted but never approach people who don’t call them. (Bit confusing that there appear to be two separate sites on Tripadvisor for the same place. Review also submitted on the other site.)
