Medinat Makadi
This is a resort that was created "from scratch." Unlike central Hurghada, Makadi did not even have a fishing village. Around stretched the desert, and only tourist hotels laid the foundation for the prosperity of this region. Rest here is considered calm, measured. Hotels of this type, such as Iberotel Makadi Oasis Club 4 * (Egypt, Makadi), are mainly intended for couples or parents with children. So far, these places are considered to belong to Hurghada, but in the future it is proposed to make a separate tourist area from Makadi with its own administration. This resort is considered very prestigious and respectable, and in its reputation is not inferior to Sharm. The hotels here are exclusively “fours” and “fives”, and in terms of level of service they resemble Turkish ones. In a word, everything here, as in the rest of Egypt, is only better. Luxurious fragrant gardens, stylish buildings, exclusive restaurants and expensive boutiques - so briefly describe local hotels. And all this - against the backdrop of the endless desert, the bright sun and the fantastic Sinai Mountains.

In addition, there are showers, toilets, everything is cleaned. Since the reefs are nearby, special slippers are highly recommended for swimming. Although the water is clear and the bottom is very good, stones sometimes come across. But the advantages of the local coast include the fact that the beaches of other hotels are not closed. You can safely walk and choose your favorite place for swimming. In addition, the ebbs on a hotel beach are almost invisible.

Reviews
Tourists believe that this is the best 4-star resort on the coast. Here everything is for vacationers - and good rooms, and high-quality and tasty food, and helpful and friendly staff, and a quiet and relaxed atmosphere. When you check in, your wishes are always taken into account, especially if you come with small children. Hotel management, its managers are constantly in the hotel and check how tourists are served. This complex is not only beautiful - in terms of service and comfort, it can give odds to many Egyptian “fives”. Most Europeans rest here. Russians are not very many. Perhaps the hotel would have been assigned the “five stars” if its buildings were closer to the sea. And in everything else, as already mentioned, it far exceeds the status assigned to it. Children can swim all day, and adults can swim to the coral reef. Judging by the reviews, the rest here is even better than in Sharm El Sheikh, and the atmosphere is very comfortable.
