His knowledge and passion about Egypt know no limit. There are a lor of shops, bars, restaurants, a bowling alley and... More

Quite a strange place. Really smart but quiet. Worth a visit from any of the surrounding hotels. Cocktails in El Vino are superb.

Lovely Marina, fantastic boats. Quite quiet when we visited but there are some shops as well as some bars to sit and relax. A beautiful spot.

If you are not staying or diving, there is little reason to visit. A rather sterile marina with a few tourist shops and restaurants. Maybe in the future it will achive its potential?

This was our only venture outside of our hotel. Port Ghalib is a great looking marina and leisure area. It is beginning to get a nice selection of restaurants, bars and shops. It was a little quiet, but think it will get bigger and better over the next couple of years.

In fairness, our visit was only for a few hours one evening as a change from our own resort surroundings but the overall impact I felt was slightly lacking. The area is a purpose built resort area with a number of hotels etc and a marina area with shopping and eating. There are more recognisable western outlets such as TGI's... More

Port Ghalib is a clean, quiet, shopping mecca which offers some lovely places to dine and find bargains by bartering with the locals. Very pleasant to walk around at night, and excursions such as diving and underwater submarine can be booked here
