WHAT TO DO AT MARSA ALAM AIRPORT (RMF)

Food & Drink

Briccocafé - Departures

RMF has cafés and snack bars inside the terminal. Hot drinks. Bottled water. Pastries. Sandwiches. Small packaged meals. Simple, quick options. Perfect for a bite before boarding.

Service levels depend on flight schedules. Outlets open with flight waves and close when activity drops. Buying water or snacks early is the reliable strategy. Don’t wait until the last gate call.

Duty‑Free & Retail

For international flights, the duty‑free area covers the usual things people look for before flying out , perfumes, cosmetics, chocolates, tobacco, liquor, and basic travel items. It’s practical rather than fancy, but you’ll find enough choice for gifts or last‑minute shopping.

Inside the terminal, small souvenir shops sell classic Egyptian items like simple handicrafts, decorative pieces, sweets, papyrus‑style prints, and traditional keepsakes. They’re easy stops if you want something local without going into town.

Most shops accept Egyptian pounds, euros, and US dollars, and card payments are widely used, so you don’t need to worry too much about carrying cash.

Lounges

Marsa Alam Airport has lounge access linked to programs like Priority Pass. These lounges give you a quieter place to sit, along with light snacks, drinks, Wi‑Fi, and charging points for your devices.

The lounges don’t run on a full 24‑hour schedule. They usually open and close based on flight activity, so access depends on when your flight is departing.
