Welcome to the Gorgonia Beach Resort

Covering an area of over 300,000 square metres within the protected Wadi el Gimal marine natural park, the resort has everything you need for an unforgettable holiday in great comfort with a wide choice of things to do.

The attention to detail, the elegant design touches, 350 rooms, 3 restaurants, 6 bars, a theatre, disco, 4 swimming pools, excellent sports facilities, 700 metres of white sandy beach, a beautiful pristine sea and our highly qualified staff all combine to enable even the most demanding guests to enjoy a holiday just the way they like it.

Marsa Alam means “the bay of the flags” in Arabic, and was so called as it was customary for the small local community to raise flags to help the small boats returning from the sea to find their way home.

Until recently, it was home to no more than six thousand people, who made a living partly from fishing and livestock farming but mostly from mining in the old marble and phosphate mines in the desert area inland. These are the true origins of Marsa Alam, which goes back to the time of the Pharaohs and later the Romans, periods when the surrounding desert had a wealth of mines producing gold, emerald and precious stones.

Once a small fishing village, Marsa Alam is rapidly increasing in popularity, and since the opening of its International Airport, the area is becoming a favourite holiday destination on the Red Sea Riviera. Situated 200 kilometres more to the south than Hurghada, Marsa Alam main attractions are the long beaches with fringing and barrier coral reefs.
Marsa Alam has a truly tropical feeling, with its twisted mangroves and majestic palm trees. The long, sandy beaches are the entrance to magnificent coral reefs, many literally a step away.

The Three Corners Fayrouz Plaza Beach Resort, is a new exclusive resort in the area and is located just 5 km from Marsa Alam Airport, 70 km north of Marsa Alam and 67 km south of Quseir.

The second entrance platform is situated at the first reef and opens the underwater world between this reef and the outer reef. The waters between the two reefs are well protected from the tidal movements and stronger winds so that snorkeling throughout the whole year is possible.
At the end of the Jetty two platforms give you entrance to the open sea and the amazing drop offs, overhangs, small caves and an abundance and variety of colorful fish and corals. Come and see it for yourself: take a splash into the world beneath. If you can float you can snorkel. Dive and snorkel equipment can be rented in our dive center.
