 The coast of this area is lined with mangrove
swamps providing the living space for many aquatic animals and
birds. Safaris into the surrounding rocky desert to explore
oases or long-abandoned goldmines can be made by jeep,
horseback, camel or even quad bike. With a new international
airport, a number of tourism projects and many new hotels,
however, it is rapidly growing in importance to the region.
 In addition, many ancient inscriptions from the
pre-dynastic period cover the rocks along this route. Near
Marsa Alam the rocks have provided an ideal canvas for
graffiti since the early times until the present. The ancient
graffiti depict animals, including giraffe and cattle, as well
as hunting scenes such as an ostrich hunt with dogs.
Marsa Alam may experience considerable
development in the very near future. The airport is actually
part of a larger development project designed to create a
state of the art resort area in Port Ghaleb including a 1,000
berth marina and a port with a dock-side harbor, Yacht Club
and Spa alongside a highly animated town center with shops,
galleries, boutiques, restaurants and bistros, nightclubs,
discos and casino
