When you think about a holiday in Egypt, you immediately think about a visit to Cairo to see the pyramids. From Hurghada you can book excursions but keep in mind: it will be a very long day. You will be picked up at your hotel at 1 am and you come back around 10 pm. But it is definitely worth it although you only see the highlights of the city.
Serenity Makadi Beach is located in Makadi Bay, outside of Hurghada. It is a big hotel complex that is designed in Moroccan style. Outside the hotel, there is nothing to do, so if you want to go to Hurghada, you have to ask for a shuttle or a taxi. But why would you want to visit downtown Hurghada if you have everything you want in this beautiful hotel?
Because we also wanted some adventure while we were in Egypt, we booked a super safari (also through marsaalam.com). Although we had a lot of fun during the quad driving, the rest of the program was not so adventurous.
When I was a kid, I was fascinated by Egypt, the pharaohs, and the pyramids. So, when we were in Egypt, I really wanted to visit Luxor. We booked a private tour from Marsa Alam through this website. We had a private taxi from Marsa Alam to Luxor and in Luxor for the whole day and a private guide.
