Egypt. The Kharafi Group, Port Ghalib, recently opened a luxury resort. The heart of the resort is made up of three hotels built around a Medieval citadel: the 5-star deluxe Palace with 309, Sahara Sun Sands with 347 and Sahara Sun Oasis Hotel with 292 rooms. There’s also a conference centre for 1,500 guests with 17 rooms. The architecture was inspired by ancient Egyptian palaces, Nubian desert villages and roadside inns for desert travellers. www.suninternational.de,www.discoverportghalib.com
