About the Resort
An all-inclusive Sharm resort for families
Steigenberger Alcazar is a large all-inclusive family resort at Nabq Bay in Sharm El Sheikh, on the Red Sea in South Sinai — the most mainstream of Egypt's Red Sea trio, and built for families. The scale is the appeal: 584 rooms and suites, including swim-up rooms with direct private-pool access, on a 35,000-square-metre private beach, with kids' clubs, animation and evening entertainment that make it an easy family holiday. Dining spans seven restaurants — two main buffets and five à la carte specialty restaurants — with lobby, pool and beach bars, and there is the Mivida Spa and three pools, heated in winter. The diving is world-class: the resort is near Ras Mohammed National Park, and the private beach has its own underwater scenery. One honest note on the beach itself — it is rocky in places, with jetty and sea-shoe access for swimming, which is exactly what makes it so good just offshore for snorkellers. Around 15 minutes from the airport with direct UK and EU charters, it is a value-minded, all-inclusive Sharm base for families.

“We’ve stayed here three times now. The house reef has no equal. The stargazing was, genuinely, one of the most moving experiences of my adult life.”

★★★★★
“I had stayed at Four Seasons, One&Only and Velaa before visiting Steigenberger Alcazar, Sharm El Sheikh. They are all magnificent. But this is different in a way that is hard to articulate.”

Egypt
Kempinski Hotel Soma Bay
The Kempinski Soma Bay is the active Red Sea resort — a large Moorish-style property on the Soma Bay peninsula with a huge lagoon-pool complex, a lazy river and 400 metres of private beach. Its draw is the water: the Orca dive centre, one of the Red Sea's largest, sits on a roughly 1-km house reef, and Soma Bay's steady breezes make it world-class for windsurfing and kitesurfing. A Gary Player championship course — the Middle East's first — runs across the peninsula, the destination Cascades Spa & Thalasso Centre is among the region's largest, and tennis, squash, catamaran and SUP fill the rest, with Luxor and the Nile Valley a couple of hours' drive away.
Egypt
The Oberoi Beach Resort, Sahl Hasheesh
The Oberoi Sahl Hasheesh is the most refined of the Red Sea resorts — 102 detached all-suite villas across 48 acres of gardens, each with a high domed ceiling, a sunken marble bath overlooking a private walled garden and floor-to-ceiling Red Sea views, some with a private pool. A 43-metre pool faces the sea, the private white-sand beach fronts world-class diving and snorkelling, and domed, lantern-lit Oberoi architecture sets the tone. Three restaurants, the Oberoi Spa, yoga, cooking and pottery, stargazing and desert excursions to a Bedouin camp round out a boutique, villa-privacy take on the Red Sea — the polished finish to an Egypt tour.
Egypt
Marriott Mena House, Cairo
Marriott Mena House is a historic Arabesque palace beside the Great Pyramids — origins in 1869, a royal hunting lodge turned hotel, 700 metres from the pyramids across 40 acres of gardens. The signature is the view: the Great Pyramids framed from your balcony at sunrise and sunset, and a private pyramid-site entrance with golf-buggy access that lets guests beat the queues and arrive early. Of its 331 rooms and suites, the Premium Pyramid View rooms and the pyramid-view 139 Pavilion are the draws, alongside the Saray spa, a garden pool and a guest list that includes the 1943 Cairo Conference — with the new Grand Egyptian Museum on the doorstep.
