Background
The facts
Pickalbatros Aqua Blu Resort Hurghada is a four-star hotel on Safaga Road in Hurghada, Egypt. The room rate is offered on a Hard All Inclusive basis, with buffet meals and selected drinks governed by the hotel’s policy. Discovery Tours Egypt arranges reservations and room confirmations; the hotel owns and operates the property.
The hotel is in Hurghada’s southern resort corridor on the western shore of the Red Sea. Safaga Road links the resort area with the city, while central services, marinas and shopping areas are reached by road.
Hurghada is a coastal city in Egypt’s Red Sea Governorate. The hotel is in a resort setting rather than a city-centre location.
The hotel has outdoor pools, private beach access, restaurants, bars, a spa, a fitness centre, Wi-Fi, parking and family-room options. Spa treatments and wellness packages are optional charges.

Is this for you?
Yes, if
- This resort suits couples, families with school-age children and small groups who want a pool-and-beach stay rather than a base in central Hurghada. It is a practical choice for travellers happy to arrange a taxi or private transfer for trips into the city.
Maybe not, if
- Choose a central Hurghada hotel instead if you want to walk to city attractions and dining. The resort is also less convenient for guests who need confirmed step-free access throughout the property.

Tailor it
Make it yours
Room types and confirmations are arranged by our team, subject to availability. Airport transfers and city tours can be booked separately, while spa treatments, wellness packages and specialty dining are optional paid extras.
All requests handled by your dedicated specialist before booking.
Where it fits
Pickalbatros Aqua Blu Resort Hurghada works as a seaside stay before or after time in central Hurghada, or as a base for a longer Red Sea holiday. Safaga Road is more resort-oriented than the city centre, so allow for a drive when visiting central sights.
Accessibility
Who can join this
The resort has paved ramps and level paths between the lobby, pool terraces and some ground-floor rooms. Elevators serve the main accommodation blocks, but garden paths may be narrow and some routes include uneven paving or short steps. Access to the private beach crosses soft sand, so wheelchair users may need assistance. Pool entry is by steps; no pool lift is confirmed. Outdoor surfaces can become hot and slippery when wet. If you need a ground-floor room, a roll-in shower or help with luggage, contact us before arrival so we can ask the hotel to confirm what is available. Please note that access arrangements can vary by room and area.
Before you go
What to pack & wear
Children & families
Infants under 2 usually stay free when sharing existing bedding; a cot can be requested, subject to availability and hotel confirmation. Children aged 2 to 11 may qualify for a child rate, depending on room type and bedding. Guests aged 12 and over are usually priced as adults. Family and interconnecting rooms can be requested but are not guaranteed until confirmed. Strollers work on many paved resort paths, though soft sand may require help. High chairs and babysitting may be available on request, potentially for an extra charge. Confirm current terms before booking; no minimum stay age has been supplied.
Indicative rates only – pricing and rooms fluctuate. Please enquire for live rates on your specific dates.

How we travel here
The hotel employs staff from the Hurghada area and reports buying some fresh produce and seafood from nearby suppliers. This can direct part of guests’ spending to local businesses, although a full supplier list has not been provided. Guests can take part in the hotel’s towel and linen reuse programme by reusing towels and notifying housekeeping. The property reports LED lighting in many public areas and low-flow bathroom fittings. It also reports a beach-cleaning initiative with local community groups; ask the front desk for current dates and participation details. We have not been given independent environmental certification or figures for energy, water use or waste, so we cannot verify the scale of these measures.

Standard policy is usually check-in from 14:00 and check-out by 12:00, but hotels sometimes vary.

CairoBarceló Cairo Pyramids Hotel, Giza
Barceló Cairo Pyramids Hotel sits on the Giza edge, with rooftop terraces that face Khufu and Khafre. We use this hotel when clients want a clear pyramid view without staying on the plateau itself. The hotel provides a rooftop pool, an on-site restaurant and rooms with direct pyramid views when available. It is approximately a 10–15 minute private-car transfer to the Giza Plateau; traffic can lengthen journeys to central Cairo and the Egyptian Museum (typically 30–45 minutes). Expect some road noise on the main approach road, and book pyramid-view rooms early–they are limited.

AswanBasma, Citymax – Aswan
Basma, Citymax is a straightforward, budget hotel in Aswan that we book for short stays and practical, city-based itineraries. We arrange private transfers, arrival logistics and local support for excursions. Unlike Nile-side resorts, Basma, Citymax focuses on practical rooms and town access rather than extensive leisure facilities. Expect simpler facilities than larger hotels and limited on-site dining or spa services; it's a value choice rather than a resort. We often pair stays here with Abu Simbel transfers and Aswan sightseeing. Discovery Tours Egypt is a licensed Egyptian tour operator and we can include Basma, Citymax in bespoke Aswan programmes.

HurghadaBeach Albatros Resort, Hurghada
Beach Albatros Resort sits on the Red Sea coast in Hurghada and offers beach and pool facilities. We are a licensed Egyptian tour operator and do not run group bus tours; all transfers are private and our Hurghada team offers 24/7 on-ground support. Unlike cruise-based excursions, a land stay lets you snorkel independently on the house reef or join an optional private day trip to Giftun Island. Expect busy high season; buffet restaurants can queue at peak times and there is limited shade at midday on parts of the beach. We can add private snorkelling guides, scuba lessons and transfers to Hurghada Airport.
