Hurghada International Airport (HRG) is the gateway to Egypt's Red Sea Riviera, one of the world's premier diving and snorkelling destinations. Hotels in Hurghada offer direct access to spectacular coral reefs, water sports, the vibrant El Dahar old town, and day trips to Luxor's ancient temples.
Our Picks — Hurghada
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.
Makadi Bay
The Jaz brand's flagship Hurghada property on the superb Makadi Bay is themed around the underwater world of the Red Sea — the architectural design, the interiors, and the extensive waterpark all reference the coral reef ecosystem. The private sandy beach and the proximity to the best snorkelling sites on the Egyptian coast make it outstanding for marine-enthusiast families.
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.
