🥲I felt so lost after leaving Hurghada. People say Egypt is great and I won't come next time, but I will come again for Soma Bay! The most cost-effective resort I have ever stayed in (I have been to many seaside resorts or beaches abroad. Basically, you need to take a boat to see this quality of jelly sea, but in Soma Bay Resort, you can enjoy it in the hotel)
😎Hurghada is a coastal city, but the land was sold to foreigners in the early years, and the beach has become private. If you don't stay in the hotel, you can't enjoy the beach. Many resort hotels here have private beaches, but they are also despised. The water quality is the best, and the Soma Bay beach is at the level of diving jelly sea. You can walk to the jelly sea to dive when you leave the hotel, and you don't need to go to the Orange Sea to see the sea.
💰: There are high-end hotels near Soma Bay, which basically start from 1800 (not all-inclusive, excluding breakfast, Kempinski, etc.) We chose the Sheraton Soma Bay Resort, which was 500 per person including breakfast on the day of check-in. When the price was low, it was 300 per person. I saw someone share that it was 200 per person with Marriott points, but the normal price is between 300-500 (if two people stay)
🐦Experience: Very good, sharing the jelly sea and sea view rooms with high-end hotels, and walking distance to the same beach in Maldives, all of which are original pictures, not inferior to Maldives, but it only costs 300+ per night! At night, you can participate in the beach party held by this high-end hotel for free🌚300 feels like spending 3000!
💜You need to go through several security checks here to enter, and many places are guarded by security guards. It is very safe. There will be no annoying one dollar and scammers. It is like a paradise in Egypt.
🥘: It is recommended to buy breakfast. If you buy it at the hotel, you need 700 pounds per person for breakfast (about 100 RMB). The only downside here is that it is too big and it is inconvenient to eat. Except for the Sheraton, the restaurants of other hotels will be more expensive. I had dinner in the restaurant in the hotel, 999 Egyptian pounds per person (about 150 RMB) is very exquisite, including pre-meal bread, dessert, chicken salad, the main course is duck or pan-fried salmon, and after-meal dessert, which is full (most people go to another buffet restaurant, which is also 999 Egyptian pounds per person, but it is not as exquisite. You don’t need all-inclusive. All-inclusive is much more expensive, but a full meal here is only 150 RMB, and eating three meals is not as expensive as all-inclusive...)
You can watch the sunset while eating, and you can also watch the stars after watching the sunset. Hurghada in May is not hot at night and even a little cool. Watching the sun set and counting the stars feels very relaxing.
Small tips: If you find an outside travel agency for a day trip to the sea, don't bring money, but bring some tips. This place provides pick-up and drop-off, and you can pay after you return. We and people we met on the road found that a small part of their money was stolen (for example, 100 yuan was stolen when you brought 1,000 yuan). The money is not much, but it is disgusting enough. Except for the time when you stay in the resort, you will be caught off guard at other times.
