Underwater World!
More to Explore
Relax and unwind with our brand new holiday to the Egyptian resort of Hurghada. The capital of the Red Sea Riviera is home to beautiful beaches, world class diving, and vibrant nightlife – the perfect combination for a memorable winter sun holiday!
Extras
Once a small fishing village, this lively resort is now full to the brim with activities and entertainment, from dawn ‘till dusk!
The beach boasts soft white sands which gently roll into the picture-perfect turquoise blue sea, where we can sit back and watch the world go by.
We can cast these thoughts aside and take a dip. We’re likely to meet shoals of colourful tropical fish simply by wading a few metres in. If this gives you a taste for more adventure, slip into a wetsuit and join a guided dive or snorkel. If you don’t want to get your feet wet then perhaps just soak up the rays on a sun bed by the pool. Watch the sun set from our hotel’s beach, or head into the centre of the town. With its excellent shops, cafes, bars and restaurants, there’s something to suit all tastes!
Our 5* All Inclusive hotel is located on the shores of the Red Sea, with an inviting beach furnished with sunbeds and umbrellas, the ideal place to base yourself with a cocktail and your favourite book for the day! If you prefer the pool then our hotel has a selection for you to choose from as well as an outdoor jacuzzi! If you feel like being pampered, that is also an option here at the in house Spa where you can treat yourself to a massage, Turkish Bath, Steam Room and Sauna (extra charges apply to some services).
If you do feel the need to take yourself away from the hotel to explore some of the local area. Sahl Hasheesh old town and the shopping center are close by or further afield, you can try a quad biking safari and Bedouin experience, try snorkeling or scuba diving at one of the off shore islands or even venture further and visit the pyramids of Cairo!
Ideally located on the shores of the Red Sea and close to the bustling resort centre of Sahl Hasheesh, our luxury hotel is the perfect place to enjoy a winter sun break.
Facilities include a buffet restaurant and a selection of A la Carte dining, a choice of pool, beach and lobby bars, a choice of swimming pools and outdoor Jacuzzi. There is also a Gym, Spa, Diving center and Shopping center within the hotel resort.
Deluxe rooms are elegant and comfortable and include either a side sea or garden view from the balcony or terrace. Rooms also feature air conditioning, separate bath and shower, safe, television, phone and WIFI.

Casual, cotton, lightweight daytime wear is the order of the day. Comfortable shoes are a must for sightseeing. Smart casual clothes will be ideal for the evening, with the emphasis throughout being informal but with no shorts or vests in the restaurants in the evenings. Early and late season evenings can be cool so do ensure that you take a cardigan or jacket. Remember to cover up in any religious sites.
There is often confusion on the question of gratuities, since it frequently depends on the type of holiday, location and, of course, your attitude towards tipping, as to what is normally expected. In order to give you a rough idea, we have given appropriate guidance below.
Your Tour Leader will be on hand to offer advice or suggestions if required but gratuities are offered entirely at the sole discretion of the individual. We suggest a group collection to cover drivers, porters and hotel staff of €20.00 per week. Your Tour Leader will collect this on your behalf and distribute it accordingly, thus relieving you of the burden of who, when and how much to tip. The tipping of housekeeping will be left to your individual discretion (a small amount left in your room on departure should cover this and would be much appreciated). As is customary, ‘the hat’ will be passed around for the driver and guide on all optional excursions. For any meals that are not included in your itinerary, or taxi fares, your Tour Leader can advise of an appropriate add on.
A full 10-year passport is required and should be valid for 6 months beyond your stay.
