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.

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.

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.
