Soar above the Gulf of Suez on the spectacular Galala cable car, which connects sea level to the cliff-top city of El Galala — delivering jaw-dropping views of the Red Sea coast that simply cannot be seen any other way.
What to expect
Your private air-conditioned car follows the sweeping Red Sea coastal highway to the Galala cable-car station (G1), one of the Middle East's most dramatic gondola rides. The 4.35 km cable car ascends 1,100 metres of raw cliff face, revealing a shimmering tableau of sea, desert, and distant ships in the Suez Canal. At the summit, the new El Galala city offers terrace cafés and viewpoints before your scenic coastal return.
Good to know
Cable car tickets should be pre-booked (check galalaresort.com for timed slots). The round trip ride is approx. 30 minutes. The full excursion comfortably fits a 4–5 hour window from port, making it an ideal half-day option. Bring sunglasses and a camera with a wide lens.
