| Moment | Idea | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Day 1 | pirate boat with island, lunch and drinks | about 6 h, two 30-minute snorkelling stops, mixed reviews |
| Day 2 | desert quad and barbecue | helmet compulsory, minimum age set by the operator |
| Evening 1 | dinner and clubs on the marina | arrive after 11 pm to dance |
| Evening 2 | show or Bedouin dinner | calmer, good for a mixed group |
| Stay | all-inclusive hotel | ask in writing for the hotel's policy on groups and alcohol |
The boat
The most "party" outing is the pirate boat with island: group mood, but snorkelling is short according to reviews. For another boat or a more sporty group, see pirate ship: reviews and alternatives and private yacht.
Quad and desert
The desert quad works for groups of 4 to 10: a day without partying the night before avoids accidents.
Hotels for groups
- Long Beach Resort: all-inclusive, large, budget; limit: a very large hotel with a family feel.
- Golden Beach Resort: 4 stars, all-inclusive, Al Ahyaa road; limit: about 20 to 25 km from the airport.
- More choices on Booking in Hurghada.
The rules
No alcohol in the street, on public beaches or on transport; the all-inclusive wristband does not allow drinking in public. During Ramadan many venues restrict or stop selling alcohol. Keep costumes and chanting for private venues and read culture: what not to say, laws and bans and Hurghada nightlife.
FAQ
Can we drink on the beach? On a hotel's private beach, under its rules; never on a public beach.
Should we tell the hotel? Yes, and get its answer in writing for a group.
