JAZ Makadina is a five-star hotel in Madinat Makadi on the Red Sea, with stays arranged by Egypt Discovery.
Snapshot
02Overview
Madinat Makadi feels a world away from the streets of Hurghada. The light on the water sets the tone, and at JAZ Makadina you can spend the day at the hotel or head out, as you wish.
Egypt Discovery arranges the room and can help pin down what matters before you go: the meal basis, any airport transfer and the type of room. Because the hotel is in a resort district, compare its position with the places you hope to see.
Background
JAZ Makadina is a five-star hotel in Madinat Makadi, a resort district in the Makadi area of Egypt's Red Sea coast. Egypt Discovery arranges stays there on request; we do not own or run the hotel.
The hotel lies south of Hurghada town. Madinat Makadi is its given location, and we hold no distance or journey time to Hurghada.
The hotel is listed as five-star. We have no date of construction, historical link or UNESCO status for it or for Madinat Makadi.
Ask us to confirm room types, restaurants, facilities, check-in and check-out times and seasonal opening for your dates. Meals, transfers and other services follow the terms of your booking.

Highlights
Things to Consider
Worth knowing
Hotels in central Hurghada put you in the town, whereas JAZ Makadina is in the Madinat Makadi resort district to the south. We arrange the booking; the hotel provides and runs its own rooms and services.
Choose your room
Air-conditioned, with a garden-view balcony, a flat-screen TV, a minibar and a private bathroom. It takes up to three, with a queen bed or two singles. Good for a couple or a small party; confirm which beds you will be given.
Dining
We have no names, cuisines or opening times for the hotel's restaurants and bars. The meal basis also needs checking for your dates: bed and breakfast, half board or all-inclusive. Tell us when you are going and we will find out which venues are open and what each rate covers, including breakfast and drinks.

Tailor it
Tell us which room you would like and whether you want bed and breakfast, half board or all-inclusive, and we will check. We can also look at transfers and talk through excursions you book separately towards Hurghada.
Your own specialist deals with each request before you book.
Where it fits
Use JAZ Makadina for the Red Sea part of a longer Egypt holiday, alongside Cairo or a Nile Valley trip. Madinat Makadi makes a different base from central Hurghada.
Accessibility
JAZ Makadina is in Madinat Makadi on the Red Sea coast. Ask us to confirm step-free routes, accessible room features, lift access and how to reach the beach before you book, because they decide whether the stay will work for you. Resort grounds can mean outdoor paths and walks between rooms and shared facilities, with surfaces, distances and shade that vary. Tell us your wheelchair size, any walking aids or help you need, and we will ask the hotel for details. Never assume every room or public area is wheelchair accessible.
Before you go
Ask us for the minimum age, children's rates and any age rules for meals or facilities on your dates. What a child pays can depend on their age, who shares the room and the rate. Pushchairs can be handy in the resort, but paths and distances may be uneven, so check routes and room access with the hotel. We can ask the hotel whether a cot or highchair can be provided.
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
JAZ Makadina is in Madinat Makadi, in the Makadi area of Egypt. We hold only that address, with no nearby landmarks, and nothing on how far the beach or the airport is or how to get about locally. Ask us for these details, including the best way to reach the hotel from where you arrive.

MakadiSteigenberger Makadi is a five-star hotel in Madinat Makadi, a resort district on the Red Sea. Guests must be 16 or over, which sets it apart from the many resorts built around young children. The address is Safaga Road, 32KM, in Madinat Makadi. Room type, meal plan and conditions change from one offer to the next, so Egypt Discovery reads the terms for your dates and tells you plainly what the price covers before you commit. Hotels are booked on request.

MakadiXanadu Makadi Bay has five stars and a place on the Red Sea shore in Makadi Bay, a resort district below Hurghada. Beaches and the sea are the draw here. Egypt Discovery books the room for you as part of a wider Egypt trip. The room type, board basis and facilities depend on what you choose, so we confirm them before you reserve. Hurghada itself is a separate place and a drive away, which is worth remembering if you plan outings there.
From £131
MakadiLemon & Soul Makadi Garden is a three-star hotel in the Makadi area of Hurghada. The address given is 34 KM on the Hurghada Safaga Road, so you are on the coast road between the two towns and not in Hurghada itself. It is a plain place to sleep and spend a few days by the Red Sea. Meals and facilities are not described in the details we hold, so Egypt Discovery asks the hotel about them for your dates before you book. The listing covers a room only, with no sightseeing attached.
