Delicious Dining Experience

I absolutely loved the food at Shams Alam Beach Resort. Each meal featured a range of options, and I appreciated the quality of the international and local dishes. The dining room was well-managed, and I particularly enjoyed the Egyptian nights with their good falafel and köfte. It was refreshing to see such a variety of dishes offered, ensuring that every meal was both enjoyable and satisfying. Special thanks to the chefs for their dedication!

Revitalizing Spa Treatments

After a long day of snorkeling, I indulged in the spa services offered at the resort. The physiotherapists were very nice and really understood how to relieve tension and relax the body. I went in with some back pain and left feeling rejuvenated. The serene environment added to the overall experience, making my time in the spa one of the highlights of my stay.

Cozy and Comfortable Room

Staying in a superior room was a wonderful experience. My room was spacious and clean, with a new mattress that ensured a good night's sleep. I loved having a mini fridge for my drinks and the view from my terrace overlooking the sea was stunning. The daily cleaning service kept everything tidy, and I enjoyed the artistic towel arrangements left by the housekeeping staff. It truly made my stay even more pleasant!

Fantastic Diving Center

The Wadi el Gimal diving center in the resort was fantastic! I got my Open Water Certificate there and the crew was incredibly supportive and knowledgeable. The dives were amazing and I saw an abundance of marine life—colorful reefs, tropical fishes, and even some turtles. It's a great place for both beginners and experienced divers. I couldn't have asked for a better experience!
