Sahl Hasheesh

Sahl Hasheesh is a planned Red Sea resort 25 km south of Hurghada, known for clear water, sheltered bays, and a long beachfront promenade. Divers and snorkelers come for accessible reefs and the sunken “Sunken City” site just offshore. The Old Town’s arched arcade hosts cafés and low-key nightlife, while upscale hotels and beach clubs target couples and families. It’s quieter than Hurghada, with golf, cycling paths, and day trips to desert wadis. Expect well-kept beaches, limited public access, and higher prices than nearby towns; ideal if you want a tidy, resort-style base with reliable sea conditions.
