When we started planning this trip we realised the most visited and easily accessed diving area is Hurghada. It’s one of these all-included resort towns, with no further appeal than being inside the hotel and its little slice of coast when not diving.

We did our research, and found out about a town called Marsa Alam, where apart from the resorts, you could find some alternative accomodation and a much quieter and nicer environment! We fell in love with the possibility of staying at a tented camp right by the beach, and our fist option was the Marsa Shagra Village, which you can check out here:  https://www.redsea-divingsafari.com/Villages/marsa-shagra

It was a bit off budget for us, since the basic tent (with no private bathroom and quite small) was around 100€ per night. But thanks to it, and since we were already hooked to this part of the coast, we kept on searching until we found our ideal accomodation: Ecolodge Bedouin Valley. With barely 5 reviews on Booking.com, and not very appealing room photos, we have to admit it was a bit of a leap of faith, but we booked it and crossed our fingers!
