Hotels in Hurghada

Staying in Hurghada

The town itself has an older quarter, El Dahar, at the northern end, the marina and the newer centre of Sekalla in the middle, and then a long strip of resorts along the coast to the south, stretching out towards Sahl Hasheesh and Makadi Bay. Each resort tends to be its own world, with a private beach and jetty, so the town is somewhere you go for an evening out rather than a place you walk around. Hurghada International Airport sits just inland from the coast, between the town and the southern resorts, which is why the listed hotels range from very close to it to well down the shore. Arrivals usually pre-arrange a car, since the resorts are spread out and the hotel name is often the only way to describe where you are going. Add the transfer when you reserve the room on AI Concierge and the driver will have it. Choose by what you want from the water. Resorts on the southern bays have house reefs and quieter beaches, but a long drive for a night out. Hotels near the marina and Sekalla put restaurants and dive shops on foot. If you are leaving early, the resorts nearest the airport spare you a dawn drive up the coast.
