Marsa Alam International Airport (RMF)

by · Published · Updated

The Marsa Alam International Airport is a new important commercial airport for Egyptian tourism. The country’s first privately run airport is located in the south of the country, near Port Ghalib and above the dive site of Marsa Alam. Since the airport opened, the often tedious and exhausting bus journey from Hurghada Airport, approx. 270 kilometers further north, has been eliminated.

In addition to the numerous charter flight connections to predominantly other European countries, regular scheduled flight connections to Cairo are offered from Marsa Alam, from where further connecting flights are possible.
