Hurghada is Egypt's largest Red Sea resort city, a 40 km coastal strip of dive centres, beach resorts and marinas, with boat trips to Giftun Island, Orange Bay and the reefs offshore.
Accommodation overview
Hurghada's hotels stretch along roughly 60 km of Red Sea coast. At the north end Dahar is the old town with budget hotels on El Bahr Street, followed by Sakkala and the Marina with boutique and mid-range properties, then El Mamsha and Sheraton Road. South of the centre, the Intercontinental / Al Dau strip along Yousef Afifi Road holds large beach resorts close to the airport, followed by Magawish and the Sahl Hasheesh road. Further south are the planned resort bay of Sahl Hasheesh, the all-inclusive cluster at Makadi Bay and the Soma Bay peninsula with the Kempinski and Sheraton. Most resorts south of the city offer all-inclusive boards, while Dahar and Sakkala hotels are mostly bed-and-breakfast. El Gouna is a separate town about 20 km north of Hurghada and is not covered in this list. Indicative 2026 rates run from about $15 a night in simple Dahar hotels to $350 at top Soma Bay and Sahl Hasheesh resorts, at roughly EGP 50 per USD.

Get the best deals and avoid common mistakes.
Choose the area first: Dahar and Sakkala for city life and low prices, the Al Dau strip for beach resorts close to the airport, Sahl Hasheesh, Makadi Bay or Soma Bay for secluded all-inclusive stays.
Hurghada International Airport (HRG) is within about 5-10 km of the Al Dau and Mamsha hotels but 30-45 km from Makadi and Soma Bay; fix the transfer price before departure.
Check board basis and any resort fee: most hotels south of the city are all-inclusive, while Dahar hotels are usually bed and breakfast.
Dahar and Sakkala hotels often have no private beach; day-pass beach clubs or hotel shuttles are the usual solution.
Peak season is October to April and the Christmas and New Year period; July and August are cheaper but extremely hot.
Verify the current price, address and phone on the hotel website or a booking platform; hotels in Hurghada change brand and operator often.
El Gouna is a separate town about 20 km north; it is not on the Hurghada hotel strip.
Alternative accommodations
Beyond traditional hotels, consider these options.
Guesthouses

Serviced apartments
Ideal for longer stays or families. Kitchen facilities help save money and provide flexibility.
