No prices are given: menus change and we have no dated source. Ask for the menu before sitting down.
Sunset time
Depending on the season, sunset falls between about 17:00 (winter) and 19:30 (summer). Check the time the day before and arrive 45 minutes early: the golden light is shorter than the sunset itself.
Dress code and alcohol
Smart casual is enough almost everywhere (no swimwear or flip-flops in the evening). Alcohol is served in hotels and tourist restaurants, not everywhere: ask before ordering.
A real sunset over the water
To see the sun touch the sea horizon you need a late-afternoon boat trip: adults-only cruise with snorkelling and dinner, or a sunset sail. See also Sakkala, the Marina and evening in Hurghada: cruise or Bedouin dinner.
FAQ
Are there real rooftop bars in Hurghada? Few; mostly hotel and restaurant terraces at the Marina.
Can you see the sun set into the sea? Not from the shore, which faces east; yes from a boat offshore.
