Marsa Alam Airport: Connecting the world to Port Ghalib, the beating heart of the Southern Red Sea

Marsa Alam International Airport continues to strengthen its position as one of Egypt’s leading leisure gateways, supporting the rapid growth of tourism along the Southern Red Sea coast.

Europe remains the airport’s largest source market, with Poland continuing to rank as the leading nationality, supported by the strong and long-standing operations of Enter Air. This position has been further reinforced by Wizz Air, which now serves Marsa Alam from five destinations across Poland, expanding travel options and boosting connectivity.

The airport is also welcoming new markets, including Moldovan travelers arriving through SkyUp Nistru services, reflecting the growing diversity of its international passenger base.

Air connectivity continues to expand through airline partners such as Pegasus Airlines, Eurowings and Edelweiss, allowing passengers from around the world to reach Marsa Alam via key hubs including Istanbul, Frankfurt and Zurich.

At the heart of this success story is Port Ghalib, the vibrant marina resort located just minutes from the airport. Widely regarded as the beating heart of the Southern Red Sea, Port Ghalib continues to attract visitors with its luxury resorts, waterfront lifestyle, dining, entertainment and expanding tourism infrastructure.

With new hotels and tourism projects under development, alongside world-class diving, water sports and desert adventures, the destination is entering an exciting new phase of growth. Supported by increasing international connectivity and continued investment across the region, Marsa Alam Airport is well positioned to play a central role in the future success of Egypt’s Southern Red Sea tourism sector.
