Sunbathe & Swim on Resort Beaches

The country's long Red Sea coast, north and south of Hurghada, is home to some of Egypt's top resorts. During the Northern Hemisphere's winter, when Egypt's Red Water has a blue sky and warm temperature, this is the number one destination for many people searching for a holiday full of sun, sand, and sea. The greatest beaches on the Red Sea are outside of the major Red Sea towns and are owned (or shared) by resorts.

Sahl Hasheesh Bay, located 21 kilometers south of Hurghada International Airport, is one of Egypt's most popular beach resorts. The Oberoi Beach Resort Sahl Hasheesh, with its lavish Arabesque designed rooms set within 48 acres of manicured gardens, is one of the resorts stretched along the long curve of beach here. It is one of Egypt's most romantic getaway hotels. The Steigenberger ALDAU Beach Hotel, located closer to Hurghada town in the resort strip region just south of the city, is a popular choice for families owing to its long stretch of the beachfront, big swimming pool with a lazy river, water sports center, and spa.
