Holiday in Sahl Hasheesh

What makes Sahl Hasheesh special as a destination?

Sahl Hasheesh is the luxury bay on the Red Sea and Egypt's answer to the Côte d'Azur. Located about 20 kilometers south of Hurghada, this once pristine coastline has transformed into one of the most exclusive seaside resorts on the entire Red Sea. A vast, crescent-shaped bay with turquoise water, flanked by elegant resorts, a well-maintained promenade, and an offshore coral reef that makes the water in the bay as calm and clear as a natural infinity pool. The centerpiece of Sahl Hasheesh is the promenade, a kilometer-long palm-lined walkway with boutiques, restaurants, cafés, and art galleries that resembles a Mediterranean Riviera - a world away from the loud, chaotic charm of Hurghada. The architecture is inspired by traditional Arab styles with a modern luxury twist, and the overall concept radiates an elegance that is unexpected in Egypt. Under the water's surface lies a paradise for snorkelers and divers. The house reef of Sahl Hasheesh is one of the most intact in the region, accessible directly from the beach, and is home to a stunning variety of corals, tropical fish, turtles, and occasionally even dolphins. A special highlight is the sunken city of Sahl Hasheesh - an underwater art project with submerged sculptures and columns that simulate an ancient city and have been colonized by corals over time. This unique snorkeling and diving experience can be found nowhere else on the Red Sea. The resorts in Sahl Hasheesh are among the best in Egypt. Expansive pool landscapes, private beach sections, spa areas, and a culinary variety ranging from Egyptian to Asian to European cuisine offer an all-inclusive experience at the highest level. Hurghada Airport is only 30 minutes away and is directly accessible from Germany - the flight time is just under five hours. The Red Sea offers bathing temperatures year-round, even in winter, water temperatures rarely drop below 22 degrees.
