Egypt
Port Ghalib

Port Ghalib sits on the southern edge of Egypt’s Red Sea coast and serves as a gateway for divers heading to the Great Ras Mohammed and Brother Islands areas, as well as nearby reefs accessible from the marina. It’s a developing resort hub with a handful of dive centers offering courses, gear rental, and day trips. Water conditions are typical of the Red Sea—warm, clear visibility varies by season, with coral formations, reef fish, and occasional pelagic activity along the drift sites and walls in the wider area. While the city itself is more about resort facilities and marina access, it provides straightforward access to reliable coastal dive sites and liveaboard departures from nearby ports.
