Makadi Bay, resort beach.

Makadi Bay is a purpose-built resort bay about 30 km south of Hurghada, a single curve of sand with no old town. We treat it as part of the Hurghada area; programmes here can include house-reef snorkelling and day trips, and availability is confirmed with our team.

Region
Red Sea coast, in the Hurghada area.
Location
About 30 km south of Hurghada on the Hurghada to Safaga road, with hotels around km 34.
Nearest airport
Hurghada International (HRG), 30 to 40 minutes by road.
Character
Hotels line the beach, with a small promenade and souk. Mostly all-inclusive resorts, quiet, with an adults-only option.
Reefs
Most resorts have a house reef reached from the beach or a jetty, so snorkelling needs no boat.
Season
October to April is the most comfortable. Summer is hot, and the sea is swimmable every month.
Stay length
3 to 4 nights as a short stop, 5 to 7 nights as the right amount, and at least 4 nights to settle in.
