Ras Ghareb- Travel Tips

What to See, How to Plan & Tours

Located along Egypt's Gulf of Suez, Ras Ghareb is a coastal town with deep ties to the country's petroleum industry, historically serving as a key hub for Anglo-Egyptian Oilfields and later Egypt's national oil operations. Once the administrative capital of the Red Sea Governorate, it remains a significant energy center, surrounded by stark desert landscapes and the Red Sea's azure waters. Though less frequented by tourists, its industrial heritage, proximity to offshore reefs, and dramatic scenery—where arid mountains meet the sea—offer a distinctive glimpse into Egypt's economic and natural diversity.
