ReefGuyz -Reef Fishing
Ready to go land-based reef fishing in Marsa Alam? That’s what Ahmed Atalla is here for.
Here you’ll have access to local waters that only the locals can clue you in on.
Ahmed specializes in Shore Jigging and Popping fishing, which is how you’ll get acquainted with these waters. You will jig, pop or cast. You may need to bring your own gear for this trip or rent some for an extra fee. Contact Ahmed ahead of time so you know what to expect and come prepared.
You’re likely to fish for Giant Trevally, Dogtooth Tuna, Sailfish, Great Barracuda, Bohar Snapper, Bonito, African Pompano Jack, several kinds of Sharks, Bluefin Trevally, Silver Trevally, and more with any luck. Of course always depending on the season.
Fish that are legal to harvest are yours to take home. Have a cooler ready in the car! Ahmed welcomes groups as large as 4 on this guided experience. You’ll make your way to the fishing grounds on foot, so a reef shoes are a must.
If needed, Ahmed might provide transportation but you can otherwise expect to meet at the fishing grounds. Get in touch to find out more before the day – you can even send a quick message below.
You can find out more online, including exceptions that may apply. Layered clothing and appropriate footwear are always encouraged (if you aren’t sure what that means, just ask). It’s never a bad idea to bring sunscreen, and sunglasses, no matter the weather.
Ahmed will have some snacks and drinks for you. Ahmed welcomes anglers of all ages on these trips, including kids.
And with that, you’re ready to experience the great outdoors in Marsa Alam. So make it happen, with Ahmed Atalla.

Trip for Tomasz
Fishing with Ahmed
I am not a reviewer, but I will share my impressions of the trip. I found Ahmed's offer on the Internet and contacted him via fishbooker. He described our fishing experience and preparations for the trip in great detail, which was a positive surprise for me, because I was traveling with my son. We set off at 5:30 in the morning, because our hotel was 100 km from Marsalam, where we were supposed to meet. Mr. Ahmed picked us up with a smile and a small breakfast ;). From there we went to the fishing spots, where we fished popping, jigging and surface fishing. We changed spots a few times, because the weather conditions changed. The fishing on the reef exceeded my and my son's expectations, even if there were few bites (this is due to the season), but when they appeared, they were very strong and challenging. The reefs and spots also look amazing. Mr. Ahmed was very nice, he immediately found contact with my son and gave him express lessons on reef fishing, so after half an hour he was fishing on his own. We will definitely come back for another fishing session.

Full Day Trip – Reef Fishing - Solo
Absolute blast fishing from shore
I was excited coming to Marsa Alam to try popping and jigging from the shore so I booked a trip with Ahmed. Immediately after booking he reached out to me to check my level of experience, agree on the style of fishing and ‘vibe’ for the upcoming trip. On the trip date, he picked me up at 5:30am and we spent the entire day driving and fishing the impressive reefs around Marsa Alam. We would use the jeep to get to a beach then fish the dropoff for about an hour before changing spots. The first half of the day was spent popping topwater lures and the second half shore jigging. I had about 4 strikes and managed to pull out one Dogtooth Tuna from the sharp corals. The fish put on a fight of a lifetime, at least 3x stronger than from the boat! Ahmed was professional, fun and had great English. I’m already planning a 5 day expedition with my friends next year to experience Marsa Alam fishing to the fullest 🎣
