AN INDEPENDENT REVIEW – 2026
(illustrative concept image – not resort specific).
This is an independent review. I don’t receive any commission or other financial benefit if you book this hotel. Please check any details given on this page with the resort before booking. While every effort has been made to ensure accuracy, I can’t guarantee the information is completely error-free.
There are not so many three star hotels available in the Marsa Alam region and of those there are this is probably one of the best rated by guests. Marsa Nakari Village, one of the very first tourist facilities to be established in the area in 1990, provides basic accommodation and reasonable choice of food as well as a fantastic house reef for diving.
ROOMS
25 chalets (either simple domed roof “huts” sharing a communal bathroom or “deluxe chalets” with AC, mini-fridge and ensuite bathroom etc) , seven royal tents (including mini fridge and fan) and thirty standard tents.
ROOM AND TENT FACILITIES
Chalets have hallway, ensuite bathroom and sun terrace. Royal tents are twice the size of a standard tent and well equipped with fan, mini-fridge, wardrobe, bean bag, table and chairs. Standard tents have twin beds. Toilets and showers are located just a short walk away.
OTHER FACILITIES
There is also a restaurant and a bar area. Several diving companies operate from here utilizing either the house reef or speed boats to take you to other areas. Camel safaris and kite surfing may be available on request.
LOCATION
Marsa Nakari is situated 18 km (11 miles) south of the town of Marsa Alam and about 78 km (48 miles) south of Marsa Alam Airport. It was the location of a Roman port city and remains of this ancient settlement can be found on a hill overlooking the bay.
