Cruise Port schedule, live map, terminals, news
Port Ghalib Marina (port locode EGGLB) is a purpose‑built Marina (yachting port) on Egypt's Red Sea coast, serving as a cruise port for the tourist town Marsa Alam. As a cruise port, Ghalib/Marsa Alam is included in the ex-Jeddah schedule of AROYA Cruises (Saudi Arabia).
The 2002-established Port Ghalib International Marina was developed as part of the broader Port Ghalib resort community. This is also Egypt's first private seaport. The privately developed Marina is licensed as an official Port of Entry, meaning visiting yachts can clear customs and immigration directly at Port Ghalib.
Port Ghalib is only ~4 km/2,5 mi from the Marsa Alam Airport, which makes it very convenient for both short trips and extended Red Sea cruise itineraries.
Port Ghalib Marina is designed to accommodate up to ~ 1000 yachts/sailboats of various sizes. It provides the following facilities and nautical services: deepwater approach and berths (has a well‑marked entrance channel and deepwater berths suitable for a wide range of vessel sizes), Harbor Master services (slip berthing reservations and yacht agency support), refueling and maintenance (diesel and petrol fuel supply at a dedicated quay, bunkering and lube oil services upon request). The essential services include electricity supply, freshwater points and shore power, waste removal and sewage, cable TV link‑ups and internet access, shower and toilet facilities, on‑site security and 24‑hour surveillance, customs and immigration clearance (complete office support - mail, courier, communications), bank services (currency exchange and money transfers), provisioning (local and imported food, beverages, goods delivery), reservation support (hotels, tours/excursions).
Shuttle bus and water taxi services are available on demand, as well as airport transfers and car rentals.
Other facilities include Boater Lounge, VIP services, and laundry facilities.
The Corniche promenade comprizes 0,5-mi/1-km of waterfront walkways lined with cafes, restaurants, boutique shops, art galleries, and nightlife venues.
The nearby clear‑water beaches are ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and diving, and watersports (windsurfing and kite surfing).
Several hospitality options in and around the Ghalib Marina vary from on‑site lodges to full‑service resorts. The Marina Lodge at Port Ghalib offers accommodation with marina views, restaurants, bars, pools, fitness and wellness facilities.
Marina Resort Port Ghalib (Radisson Individuals) is a large resort with swimming pools, an aqua park, a luxurious spa, bar and dining venues, exclusive beach access, and family‑oriented services.
