02Overview
A first look
Makadi Bay is a quiet pocket of the Red Sea coast, south of Hurghada. The days here tend to be simple: breakfast, a swim, a long afternoon by the water. This resort is a place to stay rather than a sightseeing programme, so you set the pace yourself.
The rooms range from standard doubles to suites with a separate living room, and some have balconies or terraces facing the sea, the pool or the garden. Egypt Discovery books hotels on request. Before we confirm, we check the room, the meal basis and your transfer from the airport.
Background
The facts
Cleopatra Luxury Resort Makadi Bay is a five-star hotel at Makadi Bay, on the Red Sea coast of Egypt. It is an accommodation listing, not a guided itinerary, and rooms and rates depend on the booking.
Makadi Bay lies south of Hurghada along the shore. Hurghada is the nearest large city and gives you your bearings; we hold no distance or journey time, so check the airport transfer before you book.
Makadi Bay is a modern resort area, not an ancient site, and the hotel is not listed as a UNESCO World Heritage property.
Room type, meal basis, facilities, check-in and check-out times and transfers should all be confirmed for your dates. Ask whether the rate is bed and breakfast, half board or all-inclusive before you pay.

Worth knowing
How this compares

Tailor it
Make it yours
We can look at airport transfers and add excursions along the Red Sea coast. Tell us which room and meal basis you prefer, such as bed and breakfast, half board or all-inclusive, and we will check them for your dates.
Your own specialist deals with each request before you book.
Where it fits
Use Makadi Bay for the beach part of an Egypt holiday and pair it with Cairo or Luxor for the ancient sites. Egypt Discovery can organise the flights or transfers between regions.
Accessibility
Who can join this
Makadi Bay is a resort area on the Red Sea, south of Hurghada. Getting about a resort can mean long outdoor walks, steps, uneven paving and several changes of level between rooms, restaurants, pools and the beach, and the sun and heat make it more tiring. Ask the hotel to confirm room layouts, step-free routes, bathroom set-up, lifts and any help available before you book, and never assume a room is wheelchair accessible. Excursions to ancient sites can mean sand, rough stone, stairs and steep ramps.
Before you go
What to pack & wear
Children & families
Children are welcome to stay, but the rules on ages, how many people a room takes and children's rates depend on the room and rate you choose. Give us the ages of every child when you book and we will ask the hotel about bedding, any children's facilities and cots. Pushchairs can manage the smoother paths, but steps, sand and uneven ground make them harder to use across the whole site.
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 setting
The resort sits in Makadi Bay, on the Red Sea shore well away from the busy streets of Hurghada. The only address we hold is Makadi Bay itself, with no street name, so we cannot give distances to anything nearby. If you want to go out independently, ask us about transport and journey times first.

How we travel here
Reaching Makadi Bay normally involves a road transfer from Hurghada, and the type of vehicle depends on what is arranged. We make no claim that any vehicle is low-emission or that the stay supports a particular community scheme. You can ask the hotel where it buys food and services, and how it handles water, energy and waste. Shopping and eating at locally run places, where you find them, keeps money in the area. Check transfers and the hotel's environmental practices before you travel.

As many as you like. The page shows a one-day listing, but that is only a starting point. Tell us your arrival and departure dates and we will check the room and meal basis for those nights. This is a hotel stay in Makadi Bay, not a guided tour.02What is the best way to reach Cleopatra Luxury Resort Makadi Bay from the airport?
The resort is in Makadi Bay, south of Hurghada. Airport transfers are not confirmed as part of the room booking, so ask us to look at options for your arrival day. If you arrange a taxi yourself, agree the destination and fare before you set off.03What does the room price cover at Cleopatra Luxury Resort Makadi Bay?
That depends on the room and the meal basis chosen for your dates. Meals, drinks and use of the pools or other facilities are not to be taken for granted until they appear in your confirmation. We will check what your quote covers before you commit.04What costs extra at Cleopatra Luxury Resort Makadi Bay?
Treat spa treatments, airport transfers and excursions as separate unless your confirmation says otherwise. Even on a board basis that sounds generous, some services may be charged on top. Read the terms of your booking before you agree to it.05Can guests with limited mobility stay at Cleopatra Luxury Resort Makadi Bay?
It depends on the room and its position in the resort. Tell us what you need, such as step-free routes, a lift, or a particular bathroom layout, and we will ask the hotel to confirm in writing. Distances between your room, the restaurants and the pool are worth asking about too.06Is Cleopatra Luxury Resort Makadi Bay a good choice for families with children?
It can be. Rooms vary, with some sleeping up to five, and the hotel's rules on children's ages, cots and extra beds need checking for your dates. Tell us how old your children are and we will ask what applies. Do not assume that children's activities or childcare are included.07What clothes should I bring for Cleopatra Luxury Resort Makadi Bay?
Light clothes, a sun hat, sun cream and swimwear for the days by the water, plus comfortable shoes and a thin layer for the evening. If you plan a visit to a mosque or other religious site away from the resort, cover your shoulders and knees.08Are there rules about taking photos at Cleopatra Luxury Resort Makadi Bay?
Rules can differ between the hotel and any sites you visit outside it. Ask before photographing staff or other guests, and accept a no. At religious or historic places, find out locally whether photography is allowed, especially indoors.09When should I go to Cleopatra Luxury Resort Makadi Bay?
Pick the season that suits your idea of a good beach day. Conditions on this coast change through the year, so look at a forecast for your exact dates before you pack. A resort stay leaves most of each day in your own hands.10What is there to do around Cleopatra Luxury Resort Makadi Bay?
Makadi Bay is a resort area on the Red Sea coast, south of Hurghada, so much of the time is spent by the sea. For trips further afield, tell us where you would like to go and we will look at routes and transport.
