Beschrijving
The area between Port Ghalib and the Marsá Mubārak bay is part of the Egyptian desert, adjacent to the Red Sea coast. A single hotel is located in the center, called The Three Corners: Fayrouz Plaza Beach Resort. The hotel grounds are great for migrants during both spring and autumn migration and the garden can be full of surprises. Anything can show up here, like Rosse Waaierstaart, Grauwe Vliegenvanger and Oostelijke Vale Spotvogel. Common (local) species that can be found here are Palmtortel, Maskerklauwier, Koereiger, Bruinnekraaf and Witkruintapuit. Also, Groene Bijeneter might show itself, perched in some trees.
The coastline, especially between the hotel grounds and Port Ghalib, are great for waders. Pairs of Woestijnplevier can be spotted near the shoreline. Other common species are Steltkluut, Drieteenstrandloper and Steenloper. Often, singular or pairs of Westelijke Rifreiger forage near the shoreline for fish. Mangrovereiger and Bonte IJsvogel often perch on the rocks. Visarend can pass overhead.
Further offshore, you can see flocks of Witoogmeeuw and Hemprichs Meeuw. Also multiple tern species can be seen, like Arabische Stern, Reuzenstern and Bengaalse Stern. If you're lucky, a Bruine Gent might show itself far in the distance.
Towards the south, the Marsá Mubārak bay is located. This bay is known for its many Green and Hawksbill (sea) turtles and sometimes even a Dugong.
