Additionally, there is a port—actually, a marina—in Marsa Alam. In order to accommodate yachts and pleasure vessels from all over the world, Port Ghalib opened in 2005. Numerous boats that transport visitors to the top diving locations in the region are also based there. Port Ghalib can accommodate up to a thousand vessels in total. Today, the marina is surrounded by a large number of hotels, as well as an abundance of eateries and sites of interest.

Thirty-five years ago, Port Ghalib was just a small stretch of uninhabited desert coastline, but Kuwaiti billionaire Nasser El Kharafi (who died in April 2011) invested two billion dollars to develop it into the biggest marina and tourism destination in the area. It now covers 18 km of desert coastline and 8 million square meters of desert—that’s vast. 

Port Ghalib is one of the best destinations for the holidaymakers in the Marsa Alam area of Egypt, as it is composed of sandy beaches and remarkably picturesque diving sites. It is just 5 kilometers south of the Marsa Alam International Airport.

Moreover, there are numerous things that visitors can indulge in such as snorkelling and scuba diving, underwater due to the abundance of the coral reefs in the region. The others are boat rides, kite surfing, and sea cruises. Port Ghalib is to say, an outstanding choice for those looking for both relaxation and adventure, with the comfort of modern infrastructure in an outstanding natural environment.
