Port Ghalib Ready To Boost Southern Red Sea Tourism
Port Ghalib is only 10 minutes from Marsa Alam airport and it is a location with big ambitions. Positioned on the Red Sea in Southern Egypt, the plan is build a world class incorporated resort community. The centre piece will be the harbour that will be able to handle over 1,000 vessels.
It's also well known to scuba divers who fly here to catch their liveaboards that leave from Port Ghalib. The unspoilt reefs feature some fantastic scuba diving along the coast with the celebrated Elphinestone Reef to the south being a very popular diving destination.
It is also making its mark in the entertainment world. In 2009, Beyonce played here as part of her "I am..." tour. It was the 1st time the superstar had performed in Egypt or the Middle East and her appearance was very successful. Getting world stars like Beyonce underlines the ambition of Port Ghalib to make their name known around the world. All the same, it's improbable that stars like Beyonce are going to be there every week although there are still other activities for visitors to do if they prefer a touch of adventure to soaking in the sunshine.
Mentioned previously, Port Ghalib is a departure point for several of the southern Red Sea liveaboard cruises. Day boats also work from there. There are quite a few excellent dive sites along the coastline from Marsa Alam and unlike the more well known resorts of Hurghada and Sharm, there are not many dive boats in the area thus typically your party will be the only people at the dive site. Abu Dabab is a well liked shore dive destination towards the south. Folks come in to observe the turtles feeding on the sea grass and if they are fortunate, the resident Dugong will also turn up. Abu Dabab is reasonably shallow consequently snorkellers can also come along too.
For non-divers, a variety of aquatic sports can be found or you're able to only spend the days sun bathing. Trips are also available to Luxor, Cairo, the age-old town of El Quseir or even a camel trading market.
