Marsa Alam

Marsa Alam is a modern Red Sea coastal town and tourism base whose growth accelerated with road access, diving tourism and resort development. The earlier description incorrectly tied the town directly to the ancient Roman port of Myos Hormos, which is associated with Quseir al-Qadim much farther north. Ancient mining and maritime sites in the wider Eastern Desert should be treated as separate archaeological records.
