US Tour Operators Now Offer Port Ghalib

New York, NY - January 2008 --- Several US tour operators have added Sun International's recently opened luxury Port Ghalib resort to their portfolios. African Travel, Big Five Tours & Expeditions, ISRAMWORLD and Sunny Land Tours all offer Egypt's newest exclusive hideaway at the Red Sea. www.discoverportghalib.com

The resort comprises three properties, The Palace, The Sahara Sun Sands, and The Sahara Sun Oasis. Each has its own distinctive style. The Palace is a magnificent 309-room, 5-star deluxe hotel styled around the original old Citadel and the architecture is strongly Egyptian with Middle Eastern influences. The 5-star Sahara Sun Oasis Hotel and 5-Star Sahara Sun Sands Hotel are linked by common public facilities. The Sahara Sun Oasis' 292-rooms are architecturally modeled on the story book caravanserai and the Sahara Sun Sands' 347-rooms are inspired by the Nubian Desert villages. The resort boasts 12th century architectural design features, Arabian gardens, and a secluded private beach with an offshore coral wall. A major feature of the resort is one of the largest man-made saltwater swimming lagoons in the world.

The Red Sea setting of the international Marina at Port Ghalib is unique, fringed to the West by soaring desert-mountains and to the East by exquisite coral reefs and a unique marine eco-system. The Marina is oriented around a natural inlet and the unrivaled location has transformed the area into a superb world-class yachting destination with a berthing capacity of more than 1,000 yachts. Some of the world's most spectacular dive sites are within easy reach of Port Ghalib. The southern Red Sea is renowned for its reefs that are home to both hard and soft corals and an unrivalled variety of marine life including sharks, dolphins and turtles.
