Snapshot
02Overview
Oberoi 117 is in Sahl Hasheesh, a resort district on the Red Sea south of Hurghada. Here the coast sets the scene, not city traffic and shopfronts.
We can book the hotel as one part of a longer trip in Egypt and check the room category, meal plan and services for your dates, since all of these differ between bookings. We can also help plan the rest of your travel around the stay.
Background
The Oberoi Sahl Hasheesh is a five-star hotel at Oberoi 117 in Sahl Hasheesh, a resort district on the Red Sea coast of Egypt in the Hurghada area. Egypt Discovery arranges stays at the hotel.
Sahl Hasheesh lies to the south of Hurghada and makes a resort base apart from the city. The address puts you in the resort district, so check journey times to Hurghada and other places before you plan outings.
The hotel's name links it with The Oberoi group. The Red Sea here is known for its reefs and marine life.
Room categories, meal plans, facilities and services depend on the booking. Before you reserve, check the check-in and check-out times, dining terms and what is included in your room, and confirm any seasonal operating details for your dates.

Highlights
Things to Consider
Worth knowing
Most Hurghada stays are in the city, whereas this hotel is in Sahl Hasheesh, a resort district to the south. We arrange the booking; the hotel provides the rooms and services on site.
Choose your room
A suite for up to four, with one double bed, a roomy bedroom and a living room with a dining area. A patio gives outdoor space and there are two flat-screen TVs. The glass-walled bathroom has a marble tub that looks onto a private garden. The separate living room keeps sleeping and daytime space apart.
Dining
We have no restaurant names, cuisines, opening times or meal-plan details, so we will not promise a particular meal or breakfast. Ask which restaurants and bars will be open during your stay, whether to reserve and what your rate includes. If you have dietary needs, or are weighing up bed and breakfast against half board or all-inclusive, ask us to confirm the precise terms before you book.

Tailor it
Room category and meal plan differ by booking, so ask whether bed and breakfast, half board or another plan is open on your dates. We can include the hotel in a larger Egypt trip and add stays or excursions if you wish.
Your own specialist deals with each request before you book.
Where it fits
Use it for time on the Red Sea coast before or after Cairo or Luxor. Sahl Hasheesh is south of central Hurghada, so it makes a different base from the city.
Accessibility
The hotel is at Oberoi 117, Sahl Hasheesh, south of Hurghada. Before booking, ask for confirmation of step-free access from the entrance to the lobby, rooms, restaurants, pool and beach, since this depends on the route and where your room is. A Red Sea resort can mean long outdoor walks, heat and uneven ground near gardens or the shore. Wheelchair users, and anyone with limited stamina, should ask for an accessible room and check the bathroom layout, lifts and help available with the hotel. We can pass on your questions, but we cannot confirm features nobody has verified.
Before you go
Ask the hotel for its minimum ages, child rates and any age limits on rooms for your dates. What a child pays can depend on their age, how many share the room and the rate plan, so do not assume a child stays free. Pushchairs can help around the resort, though paths, steps and the way down to the beach affect how useful they are. Check cot, high chair and family room availability before booking.
These fares are a guide, as prices and rooms move through the year. Do ask us and we will confirm the fare for the days you have in mind.
Location
The hotel is at Oberoi 117 in Sahl Hasheesh, in the Hurghada area of Egypt, which puts it in the resort district rather than central Hurghada. We have no nearby landmarks, distances or transport details we can describe with confidence, so ask us how best to reach a particular place. When you book a taxi or transfer, give the full address, and check the route and journey time for your dates.

– Responsible travel
The hotel is at Sahl Hasheesh, south of Hurghada, on Egypt's Red Sea coast. Getting to and from it is likely to involve a car or minibus, though the type of vehicle and any shared option depend on what is arranged for your stay.

Ask the hotel which measures it has in place, including water saving and care of the reef. Eating at local restaurants and using local services in the Hurghada area keeps spending in the community.

HurghadaPickalbatros Palace Resort sits on Hurghada's Red Sea coastline. We are a licensed Egyptian tour operator and we arrange transfers from Hurghada International Airport (HRG), plus private snorkel and dive charters from the marina. Unlike many shuttle-based all-inclusive packages, we favour private charters so you reach reefs early and avoid crowded boat decks. Expect stronger northerly winds and busy beaches in July–August; reef moorings and snorkel sites are busiest then. For quieter sea conditions, consider April–June or September–November. We can also combine a Hurghada stay with inland excursions or a Nile extension on request.
From £123
HurghadaPickalbatros Dana Beach Resort sits on Hurghada's Red Sea coast and provides multiple outdoor pools, restaurants and family facilities. We position it as a reliable all-inclusive resort base rather than a remote boutique hideaway; its scale suits families and mid-range holidaymakers. Unlike small guesthouses on Giftun Island, most on-site activities here run throughout the day, not to a boat timetable. It can be busy in Egyptian school holidays and some room categories show wear; choose upgraded rooms for quieter locations. We can arrange private airport transfers, snorkel excursions and dive bookings with vetted local operators. We are a licensed Egyptian tour operator and handle confirmations and special requests.
