Averages for Marsa alam in March

 Clearly summer in Marsa Alam is just around the corner as the average maximum temperature may peak to 27⁰ C in a day.  The sea temperature is at 23⁰ C and you can expect sunshine all throughout the month for an average of 11 hours per day.  A trip to Marsa Alam will not be complete without a visit to Mons Claudianus.  Prisoners of the Roman Empire used to mine the mountains for black quartz diorite which they used as building materials for the Roman Empire.  Still visible in the area are remnants of the Roman Penal Colony established there such as their stable, workshops and apartments and the steam baths. In fact, the hot springs are still there up to this day.         

The seas are still not safe for diving so might as well look for some fun aside from swimming in some of the beautiful beaches in Egypt.  The Aquatico Water Park in Marsa Alam is located 38 km from the International Airport.  The kids and even you will surely love and enjoy the Tsunami Slide, Multislide, Free Fall Slide and the Giant Slides.  They have huge swimming pools and comfy sun beds are sprawled all over the area.             

Another fun activity for landlubbers to enjoy is a round of golf at the Royal Valley Golf Club in Luxor.  Luxor is a city in Egypt located about 4 hours away from Marsa Alam.  The Royal Valley Golf Club is an 18 hole championship course designed by world renowned architect Arthur Davis.  Do not fret about not having your golf clubs with you for the club has some for rent.     

While in Luxor, book your stay at the luxurious Lotus Luxor Hotel for only £34 a night.  This hotel is said to have a panoramic view of the Nile and they have a terrace where you can just simply bask in the sun and enjoy the beauty of the river.
