I had a lovely stay at the guesthouse and am grateful that I met Ibrahim and his family during my stay. They offered lovely Egyptian breakfast and wide range of additional drinks and snacks. You can also rent snorkeling equipment and bikes. The rooms have a sea view with a balcony, lovely decorations and housekeeping if you need. The best places are the great rooftop where you can just chill and relax in a hammock or a cozy chair. Ibrahim and his staff members will arrange any kind of trip, diving course or taxi if you want to explore the area. They always offer the best recommendations where to go. Most beaches are not that far. If you wanna treat yourself and escape from the city hustle, this is your way to go. You will feel home within a couple of hours!

The property is in the city of Marsa Alam, far from the resorts that line the coast. There are limited options for restaurants in the area and the beach directly in front of the property isn’t the best. However, if you’re looking for a more relaxed and authentic experience, this is the place to stay!

The view from the bedrooms and the roof was lovely. Everyone who works there is kind and helpful. Ibrahim was able to organise wonderful trips for us around the area. The fridge is stocked with all the essentials (water, beer, juice, chocolate).

We had a great stay at Rayhana Guest House. The communication was really smooth from the moment we booked our room. Being in a new place that you do not know at all (our case), it was much appreciated that Ibrahim and his staff took a great care of us! The place looks really cozy and is spotlessly clean. We also liked the decor of the room and common areas. It´s located in a quiet area, walking distance to the city center and close to the sea. There was nothing to complain about. Definitely recommend!

A very beautiful place. Rooms and communal areas are spotless clean. Breakfast was top. Staff is extremely nice and helpful . Once I booked, l received their special prices they offer for all activities, from snorkeling, diving, quads, and transfers. They were very helpful helping me organising my diving. It's the best place if you don't like to be between hundreds of tourists. I enjoyed staying at Rayhana and definitely coming back. Thank you for everything!

Not anything to do with the host. The property is in between unfinished buildings so it looks like not a nice neighborhood. But it is nice and safe and quiet across from the o en. And town is a short 10 minute walk.

We came as a group, the host was so fun! He took us in a beetle bug to a beautiful beach, we had fish dinner and slept peacefully. I would highly recommend.

It was a really lovely vacation, I really like how homey and cozy the place is, it made us feel welcomed, and safe. everything was clean. If you're looking for a quiet getaway, I highly recommend Rayhana. Thank you, Mr. Ibrahim, for everything <3

The city of Marsa Alam is a construction zone, far from the resorts that it is otherwise known for.

The best host and a really cozy guest house in the center of Marsa Alam.

All fine.

This guest house is a hidden gem! It's not just comfortable and clean (which it totally is!), but it also has this warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The host is absolutely fantastic – incredibly friendly and fun! He went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay. It felt more like staying with family than at a guest house.

Lovely place and people! Had a comfortable bed, clean room with sea view and Ibrahim was a great host :) it’s perfect to get to know other people, and the rooftop might well be the best spot in town to watch the sun rising above the sea

Great stay. The room is nice and clean. There is a beautiful common space where you can relax. Generally speaking, everything is quiet and chill, as the owner Ibra, who is super easy going and kind. He will help you to arrange everything you need. It's a perfect place if you want your indipendence and don't like crowded places, or mass tourism. I felt at home very soon. There are also some dogs there, and if you are a dog lover as I am, you'll be amazed by their intelligence, beauty and personality. Highly recommended!

Mosquitos are an issue in this area of the Red Sea and unfortunately I was not well-prepared for it. There was noise from the works on the roof but luckily it started at the end of my trip.

The guesthouse has a view of the sea and is well situated to get to the village, as to the beaches which are reachable by car or bike. My room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. The owner Ibra was very helpful when I had questions or requests. He cares about the place and seems to upgrade it consistently as he had the roof tiled to build another area for guests to relax in. Ibra and Mahmoud are very kind people. I also liked that the guest house capacity is limited which makes it easy to get to know other guests and even organise sightseeing trips together.

We had a relaxing stay at Rayhana! It was cute and clean, and within a 15 minute walk to the center of Marsa Alam. Ibrahim was very kind and helpful with suggestions of places to go. Thanks for a lovely stay :)

I really enjoyed my stay at Rayhana. The staff was so helpful with what you ask for. Transfer from the airport was perfectly organized, with 20 euro less than taxis at the airport. Diving was so nice, and very well organized by Ibrahim, with their padi partners who did a great job to make us enjoy. I really loved all.
