The Red Sea is waiting: turquoise water, coral reefs, sun almost all year round. Between you and the first swim there's just one short drive, and it can be the easiest part of your holiday.
Hurghada International Airport (HRG) is the Red Sea's main gateway, and most resorts are surprisingly close. Here's what to expect.
How far is your hotel?
The resorts stretch along the coast north and south of the airport. Approximate driving times:
- Hurghada town, Sakkala and the Marina: about 10 to 20 minutes.
- Sahl Hasheesh: about 20 minutes.
- El Gouna: about 30 minutes.
- Makadi Bay: about 35 minutes.
- Soma Bay and Safaga: about 45 to 60 minutes.
