Red Sea - Marsa Alam - A LOT OF PICTURE (15mb)
Two weeks ago I went in Marsa Alam - Red Sea to have an holiday with my family, my wife and 2 very young daughters :-)
So I think to show you what I've seen, the structure of the Resort and what I've seen under the sea... the Reef I stayed at Kahramana Beach Resort ruled by Swan Tour. It was an amazing place, as you can see in the picture. We can find two beach in the resort, one is called "relax beach" (yeah translating from italian some terms isn't so easy, and my english doesn't help me so much), and another called "main beach" when you can find tour operator people to help you to fun :-)) Unfortunately in the week we stayed we found the sea isn't so calm, so it's impossibile to see the reef in front of the resort. So I show you the pictures of the resort, of the two lagoon in front of the resort, of the reef in Abou Dabbab, and expecial from the reef in Sharm El Loli Al the pictures outside the water was taken with Nikon D80 and 18-200 f3.5/5.6, all the picture from the sea was taken wit Pentax Optio W30 THE RESORT The view from our room The sea from our room One room seen from far away From our room looking to the desert From the swiming pool to our room... 261 :-) From to bridge to the main restaurant in the early morning |

Stunning!
Thank you so much for sharing your images!! By the way, we are not allowed to have any URLs in our signature line, so you'll want to get that updated before a moderator contacts you. So many great pictures, I'll probably look at them a few more times as I'm sure I missed so great shots going through them all.
