Choosing by age

For under 4s, favour a shallow pool and shade: read Hurghada with a baby. From 5 to 12, a kids club with clear hours and slides suited to their height; for teenagers, a big water park and water sports.

Choosing by area

  • Hurghada centre and Sakkala: close to restaurants, beach sometimes paid.
  • Makadi Bay: gently sloping beach, isolated resorts; see Makadi Bay.
  • Sahl Hasheesh: newer resorts on a long beach; see all inclusive: which area.

If you prefer a day-pass water park

Compare Hurghada water parks and read Hurghada with kids.
