Runways (1)
- 15/33 · 3,000 m / 9,843 ft · 45 m wide · Asphalt
Single-runway (15/33, 3000m x 45m asphalt) Red Sea leisure gateway, privately built and operated since Oct 2003 under a 40-year BOT concession by EMAK (M.A. Kharafi Group, Kuwait) rather than the state authority EHCAAN — an ownership structure distinct from most Egyptian airports; opening date and operator/ownership independently confirmed via the airport's own site and Wikipedia. No ILS is published for either runway end; approaches are reported as RNP/VOR non-precision only, though this could not be independently checked against a current AIP chart. Traffic is dominated by European charter/leisure carriers, with Poland, Czechia, Italy and Germany among the leading source markets. Confirmed recent route additions include Wizz Air's seasonal Rome-Fiumicino service and Corendon Airlines' Cologne/Bonn service (from Nov 2026); Plan for a single-runway pinch point at peak charter banks.

Pickalbatros The Palace Port Ghalib (formerly InterContinental The Palace Port Ghalib)
5-star resort in Port Ghalib, ~5km from RMF, named by flight-support broker FlyTag (flytag.co) among crew-hotel options for Marsa Alam as "The Palace Port Ghalib". Its own booking domain (still slugged intercontinental-the-palace-port-ghalib.redseahotelsegypt.com) now titles the property "HOTEL PICKALBATROS THE PALACE PORT GHALIB", and IHG's own site (ihg.com) returns no listing for Port Ghalib, indicating the resort has been rebranded away from InterContinental; some third-party OTA pages still carry the old InterContinental name. No airline crew-rate contract confirmed in public sources.
