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.

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 🎣
