Hurghada is the second biggest town on the Red Sea and thanks to its world-renowned coral reefs it is one of Egypt’s busiest holiday destinations. To the north is the historic old town and to the south is its brand-new palm-lined village road.
The hotel runs a shuttle bus to the beach and Hurghada Airport is just a 25-minute coach transfer away. When it comes to dining there is a choice of 11 themed restaurants.
