Marsa Alam International Airport (IATA: RMF, ICAO: HEMA) is an international airport located 60 km north of Marsa Alam in Egypt. It is an important destination for leisure flights from Europe.

Overview

The airport was built in response to the increasing needs of European visitors to this southern Red Sea destination, along with other airports on the Red Sea such as Hurghada International Airport, being inaugurated on 16 October 2003. The official name of the airport until 2011 was Marsa Mubarak Airport. The airport is privately owned and operated by EMAK Marsa Alam for Management & Operation Airports, a subsidiary of the M.A. Al-Kharafi Group of Kuwait.

Ground transport

During the first years of its existence, there were no public transportation options – not even taxis – available for arriving international visitors. Tourists – almost all of them arriving on package tours – would instead be met by shuttles or buses arranged by their hotel or tour operator. However as of 2023 this has changed and the usual range of third party airport shuttles, buses and taxis are now available.
