Hurghada — Traveler Guide
The best views in Hurghada are reserved for those who know where to look — and the hotels in this guide have positioned themselves precisely where those views are most dramatic. Whether you're watching the city's lights come on from a floor-to-ceiling window, or taking your morning coffee on a terrace that overlooks the landscape with unobstructed clarity, these properties use their views as a core part of the experience. In Hurghada, the view from your room is as carefully considered as the design of the room itself.

About This Guide
The views from Hurghada's best hotel rooms are among the most compelling in Egypt — and the properties in this guide have been chosen specifically because they understand that a great view is not a feature but a defining quality of the entire stay. From the moment you arrive in your room, the view changes the way you relate to the city and to the experience of being there.
View hotels in Hurghada span all price points, which is one of the encouraging discoveries in compiling this guide. Some of the most dramatic outlooks available in the city belong to properties that are not at the very top of the price range — the secret lies in location and room category rather than total spend. The guidance in each hotel entry below tells you exactly which room categories deliver the best views.
The quality of light in Hurghada is particularly significant for view rooms — the city's position and climate create conditions where the view from your room changes dramatically through the day, from the soft morning light to the golden hour that makes even ordinary buildings look extraordinary. The best view rooms here face west or south-west for this reason, though each hotel entry specifies the optimal orientation.

Sakkala
One of the finest properties on the Egyptian Red Sea, the Steigenberger delivers genuinely five-star quality in a beach resort setting with multiple pools, a private beach, a world-class dive centre, and restaurants that are actually worth eating at — a rare distinction on the Hurghada strip. The AQUA spa is the most comprehensive on the coast.
El Corniche
The Marriott on Hurghada's Corniche has one of the most reliably maintained private beaches in the city, a large outdoor pool complex, and the brand's consistent service standards that provide assurance in a destination where quality can vary widely. The location on the main coastal road puts the city's dive shops and restaurants within walking distance.
Magawish Island
An ultra-inclusive resort on the private Magawish Island connected to the mainland by a causeway, with access to seven restaurants, four pools, a water park, a private beach, and entertainment from morning to midnight. The all-inclusive concept reaches its most complete expression here — the question isn't what's included, it's what isn't.
One of the largest all-inclusive resorts in Hurghada, Albatros Palace offers exceptional value with its enormous pool complex, long private beach, waterpark, and a comprehensive entertainment programme. The quality of food is above the Hurghada average, and the dive school is well-organised for both beginners and certified divers.
Sahl Hasheesh
Set in the premium Sahl Hasheesh development south of Hurghada, Crystal Bay offers a quieter and more upscale experience than the main city strip with a beautiful private beach, a lagoon pool, and a selection of restaurants where the quality genuinely justifies the five-star designation.
Sekalla
A well-established all-inclusive with direct beach access, a large pool area, and a loyal repeat-visitor base that speaks to its consistent quality in the competitive Hurghada market. The animation and entertainment programme is energetic, the dive school is competent, and the late-night bar has a genuine holiday atmosphere.
El Dahar
A well-located resort in the older El Dahar part of Hurghada close to the marina with a good private beach, pool, and the Rotana brand's reliably excellent service. The beach access and the location walking distance from the diving operators make it a popular choice for serious divers who want comfort without a mega-resort experience.
El Dahar
The best budget option in Hurghada, located in the old town's El Dahar neighbourhood — the genuine, non-resort part of the city — with clean rooms, a sociable rooftop terrace, and owners who will connect budget travelers with trusted dive shops and local boats at honest prices.

Common Questions
Never rely on 'request' — book the specific room category that includes the view (e.g., 'ocean view room', 'city view suite'). If in doubt, call the hotel directly to confirm which floors and room categories have unobstructed views. Some 'view rooms' have partial obstruction not visible in photos.
Not always. In some hotels, lower floors with direct pool or garden access offer better experiences than high floors with distance views. The key is matching the view type to what you actually want — not all high floors have spectacular panoramas.
For views and photography, absolutely. For serious swimming, a ground-level pool with more space is often preferable. The best rooftop pools combine a swim-up bar and infinity edge with a genuinely spectacular outlook.
Sunrise and sunset are almost universally the most dramatic, but the quality of view depends on orientation. East-facing rooms offer sunrise and morning light; west-facing rooms catch golden hour and sunset. Ask the hotel for orientation details before booking.
Many hotels with famous rooftop bars welcome non-guests, especially during off-peak hours. Call ahead or check the hotel website for walk-in policy. Some have minimum spend requirements; others operate first-come-first-served. The best views in a city often require no room booking at all.
