Welcome at Rocky Valley,
where diving on splendid untouched reefs still happens!
Rocky Valley is built on a small mountain with view on one of the most beautiful diving places between Hurghada and Marsa Alam – Abu Sawatir – our own house reef.
Welcome to Deep South Diving on the Red Sea in Egypt. Located 14 Km south of the city of Marsa Alam, in the fantastic bay of Um Tondoba.
A beautiful house reef and easy access to Elphinstone reef
The village is centrally located for exploring Marsa Alam’s highlights which are all focussed on nature-based enjoyment. Desert excursions, trips to Wadi El Gemal National Park, El Nayzak Beach, Qulaan Lagoon, Sharm el Luli and Ras Hankorab are all within easy reach. Our sustainable tourism model was established by our founder Mr Hossam Helmy back in 1990 and has meant that access to Marsa Shagra is exclusive and limited to the number of people that the house reef can tolerate.
Natural charm & intimate setting beside Dolphin House Reef
Marsa Nakari is one of Marsa Alam’s best kept secrets. It is a charming village in a quiet location 18km south of Marsa Alam city. It has a rustic charm, giving a truly natural feel which is in-keeping with its surroundings which allows our guests to enjoy and appreciate the beauty of the Red Sea’s natural resources, away from mass tourism. Marsa Nakari is a perfect base for exploring Marsa Alam’s highlights including El Nayzak Beach, Qulaan Lagoon, Sharm el Luli and Ras Hankorab. At the forefront of the development of Marsa Nakari is Red Sea Diving Safari’s sustainable tourism model, meaning access to the village is exclusive and limited to the carrying capacity of the house reef.
Wadi Lahami is a truly unique place which must be experienced to be believed.
For the true explorer, in the Red Sea’s Deep South

In the New Valley Governorate, specifically in the Dakhla Oasis, Desert Lodge was built in 2004 in the Islamic village of Al-Qasr. It was designed using locally sourced materials, with rooms constructed from mud bricks and palm fronds, doors made from acacia wood, and windows featuring mashrabiya screens constructed from desert branches.
The Desert Lodge occupies 7,500 square meters and comprises three floors with 32 rooms. The hotel’s pathways are designed in the colors of the mountains and desert. At the entrance, there is a large chessboard, next to a traditional Bedouin tent for evening gatherings, and outside, a barbecue area for roasting lamb. The lodge also includes a family restaurant, an artesian studio, and a 250-meter-deep artesian well, providing therapeutic benefits for hotel guests.
The Tarfa Resort is located in the Mansoura area of Dakhla Center on an area of 50 acres. It was established in 2009 and is distinguished by its location amidst farms. It is owned by businessman Sawiris and Wael Abed. The hotel was built in a unique way without changing the nature of the place and has 20 rooms and also a health center.
