02Overview
A first look
Port Ghalib sits where the Egyptian desert meets the Red Sea, and a stay here is about the coast, not a list of sights. Pickalbatros Sands Port Ghalib is rated five stars and carries the Pickalbatros name.
Unlike a tour that moves from stop to stop, you will be settled in one place. Room type, board basis, facilities and transport all depend on your dates, so we go through them with you before booking. Egypt Discovery is a licensed Egyptian tour operator and can arrange extras on the ground when you ask.
Background
The facts
Pickalbatros Sands Port Ghalib is rated five stars and stands in Port Ghalib, in the Marsa Alam area of Egypt. Its name shows it belongs to the Pickalbatros hotel group. Port Ghalib is a coastal resort town on the Red Sea.
Marsa Alam is in the Red Sea Governorate, to the south of the resorts around Hurghada. Ask for transfer arrangements and journey times for your dates before you book.
The Red Sea coast is known for its coral reefs and marine life. Wadi el Gemal National Park lies south of Marsa Alam and mixes coast and desert; ask about distance and access before planning a visit.
Check-in and check-out times, room categories, restaurants, board basis and facilities should be confirmed for your dates. Ask whether the rate includes breakfast or other meals, and whether transfers can be arranged.

Worth knowing
How this compares
Many hotel listings spell out rooms and meals. This one names the hotel and its location only, so check the room category and rate terms. A stay is about accommodation, and trips and transfers are confirmed on their own.

Featured rooms
Deluxe Double or Twin Room
- 1 Twin bed, 1 Extra-large double bed (Super-king size)
- Sleeps 4
A lagoon view from 30 square metres, with room for three. Choose a king bed or two singles. The listing mentions a 32-inch LED TV with satellite channels and a kettle, free bottled water, and a minibar that may be charged for. Confirm your bed choice at booking.
Junior Suite with Beach Front

Dining
Where you'll eat
The listing does not name the restaurants or bars, describe the food or give opening times. Ask us to check what is open, whether breakfast is served and which board basis comes with your rate. That tells you which meals are covered and whether drinks and other dining cost more. We can look into the arrangements for your dates.

Accessibility
Who can join this
Pickalbatros Sands Port Ghalib is a hotel in Port Ghalib, in the Marsa Alam area, and it is rated five stars. Even so, routes without steps, lifts, bathroom layouts and pool access can differ, so confirm them with the hotel before booking. Walking around Port Ghalib may mean paved paths, uneven ground, sand and heat. Ask the hotel to describe the way from reception to your room and the restaurants, and whether an accessible room or help is available. We can pass your questions on.
Before you go
What to pack & wear
Children & families
Ask the hotel for the minimum age and the age bands it uses for children’s rates on your dates. Find out if a cot or extra bed can be provided and whether it costs extra. Pushchairs cope with paved paths but may struggle on sand or rough ground. Check high chairs and children’s meals before you arrive.
These fares are a guide, as prices and rooms move through the year. Do ask us and we will confirm the fare for the days you have in mind.
Location
The setting
The address is Port Ghalib Marsa Alam, which puts the hotel inside Port Ghalib in the Marsa Alam area. The listing names no landmark beside it and gives no distances, so we cannot say how far it is from the beach, the marina or anywhere else. If you want to go beyond the grounds, ask us about transport and journey times before you book.

You could ask the hotel how it handles water, energy, waste and local suppliers. Egypt Discovery can help with practical arrangements on the ground, but we will not present unchecked initiatives as benefits of the hotel.

Asked & answered
Frequent questions
01How many nights should I plan?
That is for you to decide when you reserve. This is a hotel stay in Port Ghalib, with no fixed daily programme. Look at the check-in and check-out dates on your confirmation, and ask us if anything is unclear before you commit.02Will I be met at the airport?
Not unless your booking says so. Port Ghalib is in the Marsa Alam area on the southern Red Sea coast, but the right airport and the transfer time depend on your flight. Tell us your plans and we will see which transfers can be arranged.03What is covered by the room rate at Pickalbatros Sands Port Ghalib?
It depends on the offer and board basis. Do not assume breakfast, other meals, Wi-Fi or use of the facilities unless they are listed for your dates. Ask whether the rate is bed and breakfast, half board or all-inclusive, and which room category it is for.04What counts as an extra?
Anything that is not clearly part of your rate may be charged separately. Check meals, spa treatments, trips and transport, and ask about taxes or service fees. Egypt Discovery can arrange things on the ground when asked, but they are separate from the room unless your booking says otherwise.05Is the hotel suitable for guests who find walking difficult?
It depends on the room and the areas you want to use. Ask about step-free routes, lifts, the bathroom, pool access and how far it is from room to reception and restaurants. We will put these questions to the hotel for you rather than assume everything is accessible.06Can I bring children?
Probably, but policies for children and family facilities depend on the room and the dates. Ask about age limits, bedding for children, meals and any rules at the pool or on activities. Let us know how old the children are and we will look at suitable rooms.07What should go in my suitcase?
Light clothes, a hat, sun cream and swimwear for a warm, sunny coast. Add comfortable shoes for strolling around Port Ghalib, plus any toiletries and medicines you rely on. If you visit a mosque or other religious site, bring something that covers shoulders and knees.08Are there rules about taking photos?
Ask the hotel what applies in rooms, shared areas and facilities. Do not photograph other guests or staff without their agreement, and obey posted notices. Professional cameras or equipment may be treated differently, so check ahead.09Which months suit a stay here?
The coast is sunny for much of the year, and heat can change how pleasant it is to be outside. Think about the weather you like, then check a local forecast nearer the time, especially for summer dates. Availability and room rates move with the calendar, so compare exact dates and board basis.10Where is the hotel, and what should I confirm about my room?
The listed address is Port Ghalib, Marsa Alam, on Egypt’s southern Red Sea coast. This is an accommodation booking, so confirm the room category, view, balcony, board basis and check-in terms for your dates, and do not take any of them for granted.
