The Land Of Pharaohs Welcomes Sun International Hotels & Resorts
New York, NY - Sun International Hotels & Resorts announces the November 2007 opening of 948 hotel rooms at Port Ghalib, the largest privately owned marina on Egypt's Red Sea, developed by the M.A. Kharafi Group at a total investment of 1.2 billion US Dollars.
The luxury resort complex "Sun International Resort at Port Ghalib," majestically situated on the banks of the Red Sea, will offer superb hospitality provided by the famed luxury hotel group from Southern Africa.
The Sun International resort comprises three properties: the 5-star deluxe hotel "The Palace at Port Ghalib" and two 5-star hotels, the "Sahara Sun Oasis" and the "Sahara Sun Sands". The 309 spacious rooms and suites at "The Palace at Port Ghalib" are authentically Egyptian in style. Guests will be treated as Pharaohs with no expense spared to create the ultimate luxury experience. The "Sahara Sun Sands" is located along the western shore. This 5-star hotel elegantly combines colorful themes with billowing Bedouin styles. The hotel will comprise 347 rooms and suites. A grand entrance to the 5-star "Sahara Sun Oasis" welcomes guests in typically warm Egyptian design. The 300 rooms and suites have large windows that overlook both the lagoon and the Red Sea. The hotel has an informal and relaxed atmosphere.
The Port Ghalib development covers a total area of 6,425 acres, stretching along 11 miles of virgin shoreline and beautiful coral reefs of the Red Sea. In addition to being a world-class diving and water-sports location, the destination is known for its unique natural beauty, a combination of a beautiful sea to the east, and borders of both desert oasis and mountains rich with indigenous flora and fauna. At the crossroads of Africa, the Mediterranean, Europe, and the Southern Trade Routes, the new Port Ghalib International Marina is positioned to be the top yachting destination on the Red Sea and a luxurious gateway to the Land of Pharaohs. The close proximity of Luxor, Edfu, and Aswan allows guests to visit the monuments richly scattered in the adjacent Nile Valley.
Guests of the "Sun International Resort at Port Ghalib" will be immersed in a dynamic town center inspired by historical Egyptian architecture. Busy promenades with shops, boutiques, restaurants, bistros, cafés, and galleries will provide entertainment for all ages. Extensive marine, sports and leisure facilities will also be available. Shuttle buses, carriages, and water-taxis will link the marina village with the other neighborhoods of Port Ghalib.
Port Ghalib is easily accessible to international travelers by air; and with a berthing capacity of over 1,000 yachts, a boat yard and repair center, the Port Ghalib International Marina will cater to an elite market of international yacht and boat owners.
