A five-star Red Sea resort at Marsa Alam, with rooms and board basis checked for the dates you choose.
The short answer
Pickalbatros Sea World Resort Marsa Alam is a hotel-only stay in the Marsa Alam area, booked through Egypt Discovery.
Snapshot
02Overview
Marsa Alam sits on Egypt's Red Sea shore, where the sea is the main event. Here you decide the pace: no coach leaves at dawn, and the day is whatever you make of the room, the grounds and the water. Check-in and check-out are the only fixed points, and the room and board you get depend on the rate you pick.
We make the booking for you and ask the hotel which rooms and board options are free on your dates. Transport and activities are extra unless your confirmation lists them.
Background
Pickalbatros Sea World Resort Marsa Alam is a five-star hotel in the Marsa Alam area of Egypt. It is a place to stay, not a sightseeing itinerary, and the room and board you get depend on the rate chosen for your dates.
The address we hold names only the town of Marsa Alam. We have no distances or journey times to anywhere nearby, so check the location against your plans before booking. Airport transfers and excursions need confirming separately unless the booking includes them.
Marsa Alam lies on the Red Sea in the south-east of Egypt. Nothing we hold gives a building date or heritage status for the resort.
Room types, board basis, restaurants and check-in and check-out times can vary, so confirm them for your dates. Egypt Discovery books the stay on request.

Highlights
Things to Consider
Worth knowing
Many booking sites let you pick a rate and go. We book the stay for you and ask the hotel about the rooms and board open on your dates. A hotel booking does not on its own confirm excursions or transport.
Choose your room
A spacious air-conditioned room for up to four, listed with two single beds and one extra-large double. The terrace faces the garden and the bathroom has a bath. Walls are soundproofed. Good if you like sitting outside; confirm which bed layout you will get.
A double room for two with one queen bed, a balcony, a minibar and a kettle. The package lists VIP extras, a fruit basket and a soft minibar, each once per stay. Early check-in is mentioned but the conditions are not clear to us, so check availability and terms for your dates.
Air-conditioned, for up to four guests, with two single beds and one queen bed listed. The terrace overlooks the pool and the bathroom has a shower. Walls are soundproofed. You can ask for a double or twin layout, so say which you want for your dates.
Dining
We do not hold the names of the restaurants or bars, what they serve or when they open, and we cannot tell you which board basis comes with a room. Check the terms of the rate you want before you book. If meals matter to you, ask us which venues are open and whether you are on bed and breakfast, half board or all-inclusive, so that nothing is assumed.

Tailor it
Ask us to check room types and board options for your dates. Airport transfers and local activities can be arranged separately, subject to availability and confirmation.
Your own specialist deals with each request before you book.
Where it fits
Works as a Red Sea stop within a longer Egypt holiday, alongside time in Cairo or on the Nile. Book transport and sightseeing apart from the room.
Accessibility
Ask the hotel what access it offers before you book. Large resorts can mean long walks between reception, rooms, pools, restaurants and the beach, over paving that may be uneven, or over sand, ramps and steps. Sand can be hard going for a wheelchair. Check the route to your room, the bathroom layout and any grab rails with the hotel directly. We are happy to pass on your needs, but we cannot promise a feature until the hotel has confirmed it.
Before you go
Ask the hotel for its minimum age, child rates and any age-based rules on rooms, all for your dates. Charges for children can depend on age, how many share a room and the board basis, so ask for the exact terms before you book. Pushchairs cope on paved paths but struggle on sand or uneven ground.
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 resort is at Marsa Alam, on Egypt's Red Sea coast. The address we have names the town and nothing more, so we cannot give distances to anywhere else or say what is close by. Journey times and transport options are not confirmed either. If you plan to go beyond the resort, ask us to look into transport for your dates before you choose where to stay.

Marsa AlamJAZ Lamaya Resort is rated five stars and has its address at Madinat Coraya, KM 67 on the Quseir to Marsa Alam coast road. That puts it in a purpose-built resort area, a drive from the centre of Marsa Alam. The region is known for access to the Red Sea and for desert scenery. We do not hold confirmed facilities or meal plans, so we check them with the hotel for your dates. Egypt Discovery books through local suppliers on request. This page names the property and its position only; it promises no particular room feature, board basis or activity.
From £98
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
