Sea Cows and Living Rainbows: Marsa Alam for Bulgarian Tourists

A world of amazing marine creatures and shimmering living rainbows: the resort of Marsa Alam. How did travelers from Bulgaria, guests of Carthage Group traveling with the tour operator Emerald Travel, who arrived in Egypt on the Sofia–Hurghada flight on March 28, experience it?

We’ve already written about the Egyptian resort of Marsa Alam, which not so long ago was a small fishing village and has now transformed into a true tourist center with well-developed infrastructure and its own loyal followers arriving here from different countries. Marsa Alam stands out from other resorts in Egypt for its more secluded hotels and its focus on nature, in particular, its unique and fascinating marine life. It is here that such incredibly charming creatures as dugongs, or “sea cows”, can be found rare and carefully protected marine mammals.

Travelers visiting through Carthage Group’s long-standing partner in Bulgaria, the major tour operator Emerald Travel, noted the calm and comfortable atmosphere of this new resort and took part in excursions to its natural locations. For example, snorkeling trips to Marsa Mubarak, one of the most beautiful bays in the Red Sea, located near the city of Marsa Alam.

During dives here, visitors can encounter majestic giant sea turtles gliding gracefully through the water, or dugongs that at first glance seem slow and cumbersome, yet in reality move with surprising elegance and ease. Schools of colorful fish create dazzling living rainbows around divers, turning every moment underwater into something truly extraordinary. It is truly a pristine natural paradise, and we hope that Bulgarian tourists have been captivated by the charm of Marsa Mubarak and Marsa Alam as a whole — a destination perfectly suited for lovers of high-quality snorkeling and diving.

We wish all our guests bright, exciting, and unforgettable experiences!
