Rayhana Guest House is conveniently located in Marsa Alam, just 45 minutes from the airport and directly across from the public beach. The guest house features 5 double and single rooms, all equipped with air conditioning and private sea-view balconies. Each room comes with a private bathroom with hot water. After a day of diving or snorkeling, you can enjoy chilling by the roof or by the back area. Our guests prefer our cozy atmosphere over mass tourism resorts, as we offer a completely different experience. The three most renowned snorkeling and diving spots on the coast—Samadai Beach, Asalaya Beach, and Egla Beach—are all near the guest house. They are free to enter, and you easily reach them by renting a bicycle or within 10 15 minutes by car, which we can arrange for you. Enjoy a complimentary traditional breakfast and stay connected with free Wi-Fi. For lunch and dinner, we provide a selection of seafood, chicken, and vegetarian meals from the town. Feel free to stroll into town and explore . Once you confirm your booking, you'll receive a PDF detailing all activities in Marsa Alam along with clear budget prices.
I am Ibrahim I am an Economics and Political Science graduate, born in Cairo, lived and studied for 6 years in the US. I came to Marsa Alam the first time in 2002 for diving, and since then i fell in love with the red sea coast. In 2004 i decided to buy a small land in Marsa Alam, build a little guest house, and in 2008 i finished it and moved from Cairo to here. My only passion is traveling, i traveled alot, and will never stop. This passion made me provide my guests the services i expect to have while traveling, making sure they enjoy their stay and axcursions, and in an affordable way.
The neighborhood is still under-construction and paused for a while due to economic situation, but things are getting better everyday. So don't be surprised when you see Unfinished buildings . You can find everything else in the main-street, local restaurants, Cafe's, Vegetable & Fruit Market, Grocery shops, Exchange, ATMs, and Hospitals. In few minutes from here you can reach the most beautiful beaches on the coast, which are all free to enter except for Abu Dabab, so our location is the best in regards to saving on transportation.
