Port Ghalib Resort in Marsa Alam on Egypt’s Red Sea coast is a large-scale integrated resort community built on a master-plan of about 32 million m² covering some 18 km of virgin shoreline. The development includes multiple hotels and resorts: one component has 309 rooms (in “The Palace” resort), another 292 rooms, plus other hotel wings; overall the project also provides residential units — 344 apartments, 49 townhouses and 3 luxury villas — as well as supporting infrastructure, giving the resort both hospitality and long-stay residential capacity.

Amenities and facilities at Port Ghalib span a wide spectrum, including private beaches, salt-water lagoons, free-form swimming pools, water-slides and aqua-park elements, diving centers, spa and wellness, sports (tennis, mini-golf), children’s club and playgrounds, plus shopping, dining and nightlife along a dedicated “corniche” promenade. The resort also integrates a marina — the Port Ghalib International Marina — which is one of the core components of the resort infrastructure, allowing mooring for hundreds to over a thousand yachts and boats.

The lagoon and the marine walkway in Port Ghalib play a crucial role: the salt-water lagoon provides a calm, controlled water environment for swimming and relaxation — ideal for families and resort guests seeking a safe, comfortable seaside experience. Meanwhile, the marine walkway / marina corniche and harbour infrastructure enable yacht mooring, diving and boating access, leisure promenades, waterfront dining and shopping — turning the coastline into a vibrant, functional and attractive area. Together they integrate marine-based recreation, hospitality and community facilities while preserving much of the natural shoreline and offering access to the Red Sea, boosting both the resort’s appeal and sustainable use of the coastal zone.
