InterContinental The Palace Port Ghalib is a majestic representation of love, both of the heart and the environment. Originally built as a symbol of Ghalib’s love for his beautiful wife, the hotel artfully integrates lavish landscaping, water features and cascading greenery that transports guests into another world for a true taste of paradise. A refined feel of the Orient marries gracefully with Arabic gardens and water pavilions. The expansive salt-water lagoon was designed with a cultural identity that is uniquely Egyptian. Water lovers won’t want to miss our exceptional scuba diving opportunities where sightings of spinner dolphins, dugongs and hammerhead sharks are a frequent occurrence. Marsa Alam International Airport is less than five minutes drive from the heart of Port Ghalib.
