These included a marina hotel on the southern side of the bay, a nature field school on the northern side, diving clubs, a now well-known promenade, and the Naama Bay Hotel.

After 1982, the Egyptian government embarked on an initiative to encourage continued development of the city. Foreign investors contributed to a spate of building projects.
