Rayhana Guest House concept is far from all inclusive resorts one. Here you feel like home, gathering with other guests, sharing experiences and making new friends. We have 5 double/single rooms, and one female dormitory room of 5 beds. The same room works best for families if not booked. Our back terrace area is a place for all guests to gather. We are located in the town of Marsa Alam, which is 45 minutes from the airport. We are also located 100 meters from the public beach across the street, and few minutes with taxi or bicycle to the most beautiful beaches on the coast, the paradise of divers and snorkelers. The main town street is 15 minutes walk and there is everything there, restaurants, cafes, fruit market...etc. Also we can order food for you if you dont feel like walking. All meals are displayed on our blackboard. For all activities and excursions, once you confirm your booking, you will receive a pdf file which includes airport transfers and all what you can do here. All with very special rates for our guests.

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.
