Escape the City: Egypt’s Top Day Use Destinations for Sun and Fun
Let’s face it, once summer season arrived, we were all hit with the vacation bug. We can’t help it, especially knowing that some of the best beaches are right here in Egypt. Whether you’re a local looking for a quick getaway or someone craving a beach escape, we’ve got you covered with our handpicked day-use guide:
La Hacienda Ras Sudr
Sometimes, we don’t just want a vacation where we spend all our time lounging at the beach. If you are one of those people who likes a slice of adventure, then heading to Ras Sudr’s La Hacienda can help with your thrill-seeking itch. At La Hacienda, you’ll get to witness pristine clear waters alongside brave kite surfers zapping through the air.
At La Hacienda, you can spend an entire day at the beach, from 9 AM to midnight. You can grab a bite to eat at their restaurant, serving up everything from shrimp dynamite to juicy lucy burgers.
You can take a dip in their massive pool or swim on their picturesque beach. Along with that, you may be lucky and be able to attend one of their parties.
Booking costs 500 LE per person. To book a spot, WhatsApp them on 00201064755363.
Al Masa Hotel El Sokhna
Only an hour or so away from Cairo, surrounded by rugged mountains, the newly launched Almasa Hotel is taking over El Sokhna. Everything about it is expansive, including its spacious lobby decorated with ceiling-hung crystals, its enormous pool surrounded by the hotel’s guest rooms, and its long stretch of sandy beaches.
Spending a day at the hotel, you can do more than swim in its pool or chill by the beach. You can also enjoy a round of games at its arcade, chill in the pool’s jacuzzi, or indulge in its eclectic breakfast buffet.
Day Use costs 1500 per person. You can book your stay through the Booking.com website.
Kite Cabins North Coast
Beyond kitesurfing and extravagant hotels, you might be craving something else entirely. For a taste of exclusion and calmness, you can escape Cairo’s hustle and bustle by staying at a cabana along the North Coast.
At this very beach, you can also rent horses and ride them along the water. Along with that, you can take a dip in the swimming pool. It is an entire experience.
