02Overview
A first look
Marsa Mares Bay gives this stretch of the southern Red Sea coast its character, and the sea rather than a sightseeing schedule sets the tone. JAZ Elite Amara lies off the coast road at KM 79, so the days here are about the water, the pool and the room you have chosen.
How you spend them is up to you: settle in, swim, or plan outings along the coast. Egypt Discovery confirms the room type and board basis for your dates and can add a transfer or other services if you ask.
Background
The facts
JAZ Elite Amara is a five-star resort on the Red Sea coast at Marsa Alam, Egypt, on Marsa Mares Bay at KM 79 of the road to El Quseir.
Marsa Alam is a seaside area in the south of Egypt’s Red Sea region. The address places the resort on the coast road, and we suggest checking travel times to landmarks and transport hubs for your dates.
This coast has a long record of sea trade and settlement, but we link no archaeological site, UNESCO listing or historical period to the resort itself.
Room type and board basis depend on the option you choose. Check-in and check-out times, current facilities, dining and any transport are confirmed before you travel, as they can change with date and rate.

Where you'll eat

Ask us to check the current options and whether your rate is bed and breakfast, half board or all-inclusive.

Accessibility
Who can join this
JAZ Elite Amara stands on Marsa Mares Bay beside the coast road. Access to rooms, reception, pool and beach differs from area to area, so ask the hotel about wheelchair access, step-free routes and lifts, and about adapted rooms, before you book. The beach is sand, which can be tough for wheelchairs or anyone with limited mobility. Help getting around the grounds is not confirmed as part of the rate. Tell us what you need and we will ask the hotel about routes and rooms before you reserve.
Before you go
What to pack & wear
Children & families
We do not hold a minimum age or child rate structure for the resort, so tell us how old your children are and we will ask what applies. How many people a room takes and any child charges depend on the room and rate. Pushchairs can be awkward on sand, so ask the hotel which routes suit them. Check on high chairs directly with the hotel before you arrive.
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 setting
JAZ Elite Amara is in the Marsa Alam area, at KM 79 on the Quseir to Marsa Alam road, on Marsa Mares Bay. That puts it along the coast road, not inside a named town. The address tells us the bay and the road but gives no distances to landmarks or services. For travel times from the airport or elsewhere in the region, ask us to check them for your dates. The five-star rating comes from the hotel’s own listing.

How we travel here
JAZ Elite Amara is a resort on the Red Sea coast at Marsa Alam. We book rooms with the property, but we cannot vouch for its use of energy and water, its waste handling or its care for the reef. A transfer from the airport is not confirmed as part of the room rate; ask whether one can be arranged and what kind of vehicle it would be. You can cut waste by reusing towels, carrying a refillable bottle where drinking water is available and following the notices near the bay. We make no claim about community work or environmental certification here.

Abu Dabbab Lodge is a three-star hotel on Abu Dabbab Bay, about 30 kilometres north of Marsa Alam in Egypt’s Red Sea Governorate. The bay has a sandy shore and beds of seagrass, which sometimes draw green sea turtles and dugongs, although nobody can promise a sighting.
