Where to stay in Hurghada

Sahl Hasheesh is the top pick for families wanting a self-contained resort strip south of the city center. Gated, car-free corniche, calm lagoon water, and the highest concentration of all-inclusive family resorts. Nightly rates run roughly 3,500–9,000 EGP for a family room. The trade-off: you need a car or taxi to reach shops and restaurants outside.

El Dahar (Old Town) suits budget-conscious families and repeat visitors who want to be close to the bazaar, local bakeries, and cheaper eats. Rates can drop to 800–2,000 EGP a night. The beach requires a short drive; this area rewards those who want city texture over resort bubble.

El Mamsha (the New Marina strip) runs along Sheraton Road and balances beach access with walkable cafes, supermarkets, and pharmacies. Mid-range family hotels here typically charge 2,000–5,000 EGP per night. Good for families who want flexibility without committing to a full all-inclusive package.

Makadi Bay sits about 30 km south and works for families who prioritise quieter, cleaner reef snorkelling over proximity to town. Resorts here are mostly large and all-inclusive; expect 4,000–10,000 EGP a night. Factor in the 35-40 minute drive if anyone needs a pharmacy or a cash machine late at night.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best family hotels in Hurghada?
Top-rated family hotels in Hurghada cluster along Sahl Hasheesh, Makadi Bay, and the Sekalla strip. Properties with dedicated kids' clubs, shallow pools, and all-inclusive packages suit most families best. Nightly rates for family rooms range from roughly EGP 3,500 to EGP 12,000 depending on board type and season, per current listings on major Egyptian booking platforms.
Which area in Hurghada is best for families with kids?
Sahl Hasheesh offers gated, low-traffic surroundings and large resort grounds ideal for young children. Makadi Bay suits families wanting calmer, shallower water and private beach access. Sekalla is better for older kids who want proximity to the marina, shops, and restaurants without being confined to a resort.
How much does a family hotel in Hurghada cost per night?
Family rooms or connecting suites at mid-range Hurghada resorts run approximately EGP 4,000 to EGP 7,500 per night all-inclusive in peak season. Budget options near Sekalla start closer to EGP 2,000. Prices drop 20 to 30 percent in summer months (June to August), when domestic demand softens despite the heat.
When is the best time to take the family to Hurghada?
October through April offers the most comfortable weather for kids, with daytime temperatures between 22 and 30 degrees Celsius. School holiday weeks in January and during Eid see the highest occupancy and prices. For value, travel mid-week in November or March, when rates are lower and beaches are less crowded.
Do Hurghada family hotels have kids' clubs and babysitting?
Most four and five-star resorts in Hurghada, particularly in Sahl Hasheesh and Makadi Bay, include supervised kids' clubs for ages 4 to 12 at no extra charge under all-inclusive plans. Babysitting for younger children is available at many properties for an additional fee; confirm directly with the hotel before booking.
How do I get to Hurghada from Cairo with kids?
The easiest option is a one-hour domestic flight from Cairo International to Hurghada Airport (HRG); fares start around EGP 900 to EGP 2,500 per person on EgyptAir and budget carriers. Driving takes 5 to 6 hours via the Ain Sokhna coastal road. Go Bus and Blue Bus coaches run daily for roughly EGP 400 to EGP 700 per adult.
Are all-inclusive family resorts in Hurghada worth it?
All-inclusive plans are generally good value for families because meals, snacks, soft drinks, and most kids' activities are bundled into one rate. For a family of four, an all-inclusive room typically costs EGP 8,000 to EGP 18,000 per night versus paying separately for meals, which can add EGP 1,500 to EGP 3,000 per day at resort restaurants.
