Snapshot
02Overview
Head north out of Marsa Alam City and the town gives way to a quieter piece of Egypt’s Red Sea coast. Blue Reef Marsa Alam is up there, a place to unpack and use as a base for days along the shore, with the town a drive away for a change of scene.
Meal plans, room features and transfers all vary by date, so check them before you book. As a licensed Egyptian tour operator we can help organise how you get between the hotel and the places you want to see.
Background

Highlights
Things to Consider
Worth knowing
Most Marsa Alam hotels put you in the town. This one is 20 kilometres to the north, so check transport for your dates when weighing it against a central stay.
Choose your room
Three twin beds make this the room for three people sharing. It has a furnished private balcony or patio, Wi-Fi and a 32-inch flat-screen TV with cable channels. Blackout curtains are fitted, and the private bathroom has a bath. Nothing is said about the view.
Rate on request
Enquire
A room for one, with a single twin bed. There is a furnished private balcony or patio, though the view is not stated. Inside you will find Wi-Fi, a 32-inch flat-screen TV with cable channels, blackout curtains and a private bathroom with a bath. This is the room listed for anyone travelling alone.
Rate on request
Enquire

EnquireDining
Please confirm restaurants, meal plans and bars before booking. Tell us your dates and we will find out which meals are served and whether they are in the room price or paid for separately. Do not assume breakfast, half board or all-inclusive is part of the stay unless your rate says so. Restaurant and bar opening times can be checked with the hotel itself.

Where it fits
Make it the Red Sea leg of a wider Egypt holiday, after days in Cairo or on a Nile cruise. Marsa Alam City is 20 kilometres south of the hotel.
Accessibility
The hotel is 20 kilometres north of Marsa Alam City, so getting into town means a separate journey. Access can differ with the position of your room and the route to the reception, restaurants and pool. Steps, changes of level and uneven outdoor ground may make movement hard for wheelchair and walking-frame users, and sand near the beach is tricky in a wheelchair. Lifts, step-free routes and room and bathroom access are not confirmed, so tell us what you need before you reserve and we will ask the hotel.
Before you go
The minimum age, children’s rates and whether high chairs are available depend on the hotel’s current policy, so confirm them before booking. We can ask about the child rate and any age conditions for your dates. A pushchair may be handy indoors, though sand and uneven ground outside could make it hard to use. Ask the hotel whether a cot or high chair can be arranged.
These fares are a guide, as prices and rooms move through the year. Do ask us and we will confirm the fare for the days you have in mind.
Location
The hotel’s address is 20 kilometres north of Marsa Alam City, in the Marsa Alam area, which puts it outside the town and not in a central district. We do not know what stands immediately around it or which landmarks are close, so ask us for local suggestions before you book. Marsa Alam City is the one named reference point; check transport and journey times with the hotel or with us if you plan to go into town.

Marsa AlamThis is a four-star hotel in the Marsa Alam area of Egypt, listed at KM 97 on the Quseir Marsa Alam Road, the coastal route that links Quseir with Marsa Alam beside the Red Sea. Egypt Discovery can book your room as part of a wider holiday, on request. Before you commit, check the room type, the board basis and any extras you want, as each can change what your rate covers. A hotel stay is not a sightseeing tour: trips out, transfers and meals are separate unless your confirmation says otherwise.

Marsa AlamJAZ Elite Maraya is a five-star hotel in Madinat Coraya, a resort area on Coraya Bay in Egypt’s Red Sea Governorate. The postal address is km 67 of the Qusier–Marsa Alam road, in El Quseir, even though the hotel is filed under the Marsa Alam region. It pays to know that before you sort out transport, because the regional label alone will not tell a driver where to go. Egypt Discovery arranges hotel stays as part of wider Egypt itineraries. Before you commit, check what your chosen rate covers, including meal plan, room terms and any extras, as these change from one rate to the next.
From £87
Marsa AlamBrayka Bay Resort is a four-star hotel on the Red Sea coast of Egypt, 17 km north of Marsa Alam town. That puts it away from the town's shops and cafes, so a trip into Marsa Alam needs a car or taxi. The facilities list names a pool, spa, garden, restaurant, bar and beach access, with a business centre and parking as well. Meal basis and transfers are not fixed by the listing, so Egypt Discovery checks both against your dates when we book the room for you on request.
