Sahl Hasheesh: A Plain Guide to This Red Sea Resort Area
Sahl Hasheesh is a resort area on the Red Sea, about 18 km south of Hurghada. It is a separate setting from the city, so the day-to-day experience is different.
How it differs from the city
It is a resort community rather than a city district. That usually means a calmer setting with hotels and leisure facilities, but fewer local shops and services close by than in central Hurghada.
Who it suits
People who want a resort atmosphere and are happy to drive for supplies. It suits holiday use more often than full-time everyday living.
What to check before choosing it
Ask how far the supermarket, pharmacy and hospital are, and how you would reach them. Ask about service charges and who runs the community. Ask how you would get to the airport and how long it takes.
Comparing it with central Hurghada
Central areas such as El Kawther put you close to daily services. Sahl Hasheesh puts you in a resort setting. Neither is better; they suit different lives.
Common questions

Planning a stay
