02 Overview
A first look
Located in Hurghada, Pickalbatros Palace Resort provides direct access to Red Sea beaches and the local marina. We arrange HRG airport transfers and private water excursions to nearby reefs and Giftun Island.
Background
The facts
Pickalbatros Palace Resort Hurghada is a hotel stay on Sahl Hashish Road in Hurghada’s southern Red Sea resort corridor. The property is positioned for beach holidays rather than city-centre sightseeing, with direct access to the coast and a layout built around rooms, pools, dining venues, and leisure facilities.
Hurghada is a major Red Sea destination on Egypt’s eastern coastline, known for snorkeling, diving, and year-round resort stays. From the city’s airport and central districts, the southern resort strip along Sahl Hashish Road is used by large beachfront hotels and family resorts that prioritize on-site amenities and sea access.
The hotel offers hard all inclusive board, which typically means meals, snacks, and selected beverages are served on property according to the hotel’s own schedule and conditions. Room categories include standard rooms, sea-view rooms, garden-view rooms, and larger suites, many with balconies. In this part of Hurghada, sea-view rooms are often preferred for open Red Sea views and sunset light in the late afternoon.
As a resort-style property, the guest experience is centered on swimming pools, beach time, spa facilities, a fitness centre, and dining convenience. This makes it suitable for travelers who want a self-contained stay with limited need to leave the resort each day.

Asked & answered
Frequent questions
-
01 Is breakfast included with my Pickalbatros Palace Resort Hurghada booking?
Breakfast inclusion depends on the rate you booked (room-only, bed-and-breakfast or half-board). Your booking confirmation will state the meal basis; if it’s unclear, send us your voucher and we will confirm. We can request meal-plan upgrades before arrival subject to hotel availability and supplement charges. -
02 What are the check-in and check-out times at Pickalbatros Palace Resort Hurghada?
Check-in and check-out times are set by the hotel; your confirmation lists the exact times. Typical hotel practice in Hurghada is 14:00 check-in and 12:00 check-out, but this is not universal. Early check-in or late check-out can be requested; the hotel confirms these on availability and may levy a charge. -
03 How long is the transfer from Hurghada International Airport to the hotel?
Transfer time from Hurghada International Airport varies by traffic and the hotel’s exact location; we need your flight details to give a quote. As a licensed Egyptian tour operator, we arrange private transfers and meet-and-greet services on request. Provide your flight number and arrival time and we will offer a fixed-price private transfer or recommend shared-transfer options. -
04 Can you arrange airport transfers, excursions and scuba/snorkel trips for guests?
Yes – we can arrange airport transfers, Red Sea excursions and dive/snorkel trips for Pickalbatros Palace Resort guests. Dive centre availability, boat schedules and certification requirements vary; we will confirm options, prices and any minimum-participant rules. Unlike many package holidays, we time excursions around your flight and hotel arrival when you book through us. -
05 Is Pickalbatros Palace Resort Hurghada suitable for families with children?
Family suitability depends on room type and the facilities you require (extra beds, interconnecting rooms). Tell us children’s ages and preferred room arrangement and we will request child-bedding or interconnecting rooms from the hotel. Some family facilities are seasonal or limited in number; we will confirm availability and any supplements before you finalise the booking. -
06 Does the hotel have beach access and good snorkelling from the shore?
Beach access and shore snorkelling vary between Hurghada hotels; check your booking confirmation for private beach or jetty details. Hurghada is on the Red Sea with nearby coral reefs, but not every resort has direct house-reef access. If snorkelling is a priority, we will confirm the nearest reef, boat options, equipment hire and any extra costs.

Basma Executive Club Hotel is a straightforward city hotel in Aswan; we arrange stays here for travellers passing through the region. We use this property as a practical overnight option rather than a Nile cruise cabin. Unlike cabins on a felucca or cruise boat, hotel rooms offer conventional beds and flexible check-in times.

We can add private transfers and a local Egyptologist for your onward visits to Philae Temple or to join the road transfer to Abu Simbel.
CairoBoudle Grand Pyramids Hotel – Giza
Boudle Grand Pyramids Hotel is a Giza hotel we book for guests visiting the Giza Plateau. We are a licensed Egyptian tour operator. We do not place clients on coach-group itineraries; instead we arrange private transfers and time visits with our Egyptologists to avoid peak crowds. Some rooms have direct views of the Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure pyramids; others face the street, so request a pyramid-view room at booking. The hotel is convenient for short stays beside the plateau, but allow extra time for central Cairo sites because of local traffic.

Cleopatra Luxury Sharm El Sheikh
Cleopatra Luxury Sharm El Sheikh is a hotel in Sharm El Sheikh offering beach and pool facilities. We book this hotel on request and arrange private airport transfers and local assistance from our Sharm team. We don't sell group-bus arrival transfers for this property; we use private cars so arrival times match flights and dive bookings. Unlike remote Red Sea resorts, this hotel places guests within easy reach of shops, dive centres and evening restaurants. Some rooms face the street and can be noisy after 22:00; beachfront rooms are limited and often carry a supplement. Temperatures in summer often exceed 35°C; we recommend morning snorkeling and early transfers to avoid heat.
