Making the most of Port-Ghalib
Use these notes to shape a realistic day ashore, then confirm any time-sensitive information for the date of your call.
Arriving at the port
The harbour belongs to a modern resort and marina community constructed and developed in the early 2000s.
When a cruise line calls at Port Ghalib, the customs and immigration office enables the harbour to process international arrivals.
Restaurants, cafés and boutique shops line the marina promenade, which has a relaxed waterfront atmosphere.
Sightseeing
The location is oriented more towards resorts and diving than a bustling historic city harbour. You may wish to plan accordingly: enjoy the water, resort atmosphere and Red Sea marine life instead of expecting a large city centre.
Money
Every souvenir shop happily accepts US dollars and the Euro.
