| Sakkala / Sheraton Road | 2 to 4 stars, to compare | Hotel or public beach | First visit, going out on foot |
| El Mamsha | About 50 to 180 US dollars a night | Promenade and hotel beaches | Compromise of comfort and local life |

How to save
- Off season: from May to September prices drop but the heat rises; see weather by month.
- Half board rather than all-inclusive: if you eat out, you avoid paying twice.
- Taxes and fees: check what is included (breakfast, taxes) before comparing.
- Excursions: book online rather than from a street tout; see Hurghada travel budget and free activities.
To avoid
A very cheap hotel far from everything makes you pay for a taxi every day; read recent reviews on cleanliness and noise, and prefer a room with checked air conditioning. For the detail of the areas, see where to stay in Hurghada and all-inclusive, which area.
FAQ
Dahar or Sakkala? Dahar for the price, Sakkala for going out.
