Homestays in Marsa Alam City

It was great really 🙏❤️

I absolutely loved our stay at La Casa Budget! The design of the place is just beautiful—so cute and thoughtful. It has such a lovely, relaxed vibe that instantly makes you feel at home. Our room was huge, with loads of space and a massive window that stretched across the wall, letting in tons of natural light. We even had a sea view, which was a dream to wake up to. One of my favourite spots was the rooftop terrace—super spacious and perfect for chilling. That’s also where breakfast is served, and it was honestly delicious every morning. A big shoutout to Meshail, the manager/owner, who was incredibly kind and helpful. He gave us great tips for getting around and finding activities. The rest of the staff were also just as lovely and made us feel really welcome. The only thing to note is that the Wi-Fi only works on the rooftop terrace. It wasn’t an issue for us though—we were happy to take a break from our phones! The hostel is right by the sea, and there's a small beach nearby you can relax at. Just keep in mind that most people head to places like Abu Dabbab for snorkeling or diving. It’s also a short walk to the town centre, where you'll find a few shops, but do note that Marsa Alam is a fairly small town. But after all the hustle and bustle in Aswan and Luxor, this was the perfect place for us to relax.

Host Ibrahim is super nice friendly and gets you everything you need.

Sea View as the name indicates is located in front of Marsa Allam Marina. From the balcony of our room, we could see the boats and it was exactly a two-minute walk to Opal, the boat that took us to Samadhi where we went snorkeling to see the coral reefs and the dolphin house. The owner is very hospitable and he welcomed us to some refreshments in the hotel’s café. The place is equipped with all the amenities you might need during your stay. It has a fridge, microwave, stove, utensils and pans which we used to fix ourselves a meal. The supermarket next to the hotel sells eggs and fava beans. Mohab was in fact a great help and spared no effort to get us anything we wanted. There were towels, tissues, water bottles, coffee and tea. He helped us a lot in arranging excursions to the lovely beaches and landmarks in Marsa Allam, in addition to the boat trip. Mohab also arranged a cab for us that gave us lifts back and forth to the hotel and to different restaurants in the main market. We actually booked for one night, but once we saw the great location, we extended our stay for a few extra days. I personally felt it was a good deal because the excursions took most of the day and we came back to a comfy room that did not cost as much as a five-star resort would charge. Surely, I would c
