Until very
recently, Marsa Alam (Arabic: مرسى علم) was a small fishing village
in Egypt, on the west coast of the Red Sea. However, it has rapidly
increased in popularity, and since the opening of its International
Airport in 2001, it has started to become yet another favourite
holiday destination on the Red Sea Riviera. In fact, most informed
observers believe that it is destined to become as popular a resort
as Sharm el Sheikh and Hurghada, within the next few years. However,
its airport is still small and, as of May 2007, had only one
departure gate |
