02Overview
A first look
Madinat Makadi is a purpose-built resort district on the Red Sea, reached along Safaga Road. Steigenberger Makadi takes guests from 16 upwards, so the mood is more grown-up than at a family beach hotel, and nobody under that age stays.
Egypt Discovery books the room on request and goes through the offer with you: which room, which meal plan and what the conditions say. There is no timetable of visits. You decide how much of the day to spend at the hotel and how much to spend elsewhere.
Background
The facts
Steigenberger Makadi is a five-star hotel in Madinat Makadi, a resort district in Egypt's Red Sea Governorate. Under its adults-friendly policy, every guest must be 16 or over. The address is Safaga Road, 32KM, P.O. Box 178, Madinat Makadi, Safaga.
Madinat Makadi lies to the south of Hurghada on the Red Sea coast. Safaga Road links the district with Safaga and other coastal places; check journey times for your date, because they depend on where you start and on traffic.
The Red Sea forms part of Egypt's eastern edge. Madinat Makadi is a modern resort district and not an ancient site, and no World Heritage property is named at the hotel's address.
Room types, meal plans, check-in and check-out times and conditions follow the rate you pick. Confirm the age rule and what is included for every reservation. Ask us to verify current details before you book.

Is this for you?
Yes, if
- Adults and teenagers of 16 and over, including couples, friends and people travelling alone, who want a Red Sea resort break in Madinat Makadi. Pick it if you prefer an adults-friendly setting to a hotel that takes young children. It is a room booking, not a tour.
Maybe not, if
- Families with anyone under 16 should choose a hotel that accepts younger guests. It may also disappoint if you want to be in the middle of Hurghada and not in the Madinat Makadi resort district.

Accessibility
Who can join this
Steigenberger Makadi stands in Madinat Makadi on the Red Sea coast, and access should be confirmed with the hotel for your room before you book. Resort paths can involve long walks, uneven paving, steps and changes of level between reception, rooms, restaurants and pools. Wheelchair access, lifts, step-free routes and adapted bathrooms may differ between buildings and room types. Send us the guest's mobility needs and we will ask for details, including how far the room is from the main facilities. Do not assume the beach or the pool can be entered without steps.
Before you go
What to pack & wear
Children & families
The hotel takes guests aged 16 and over only, so younger children cannot stay. Ask us to confirm the room rate and any age-based pricing for 16- and 17-year-olds before you book. We do not know about pushchair use or high chairs for this stay, so ask the hotel about them if they apply to you.
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.

The setting

It depends on the offer and the meal plan you choose. We find out whether it is bed and breakfast, half board or all-inclusive, and get the meals and facilities in writing. The hotel runs its services itself, while we arrange the booking.04Which things are left out of the room rate?
Depending on the offer, meals, transfers, spa treatments and other extras may be charged separately. Read the conditions before paying. Do not assume an airport transfer or a particular meal plan is part of the price.05Is the hotel accessible to guests with limited mobility?

MakadiAlbatros Makadi Resort, Makadi Bay – Red Sea
Albatros Makadi Resort has five stars and an address in Makadi Bay, which belongs to the Hurghada area of Egypt’s Red Sea Governorate. That puts you in a beach-resort district on the coast, a good way from the town centre and its traffic. The listing gives us the name, the star rating and the address, but not the room you will get or the board basis, so we agree both with you before anything is booked. Egypt Discovery is a licensed Egyptian tour operator and reserves the hotel on request. Your written confirmation is the place to see what the rate covers.
MakadiLemon & Soul Makadi Garden, Makadi
Lemon & 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.
