Still deciding? The 20-second version
Hurghada — everything, close together: islands, wrecks, nightlife, family days. The default first trip.
El Gouna — the polished lagoon town: kites by day, marina dinners and club nights after dark.
Marsa Alam — the wild south: turtles metres from shore, dolphin lagoons, dark-sky nights.
Sahl Hasheesh & Makadi — calm resort bays 20–30 min south; pick them for pure beach weeks.
Soma Bay & Safaga — wind and walls: golf, kite and some of the coast's best diving, without crowds.
Port Ghalib — the south's marina base: liveaboard departures and the one true promenade down there.
