02Overview
A first look
Drive along the Safaga Hurghada Road and Makadi Bay opens up on the Red Sea side. This is where Sunrise Royal Makadi Resort sits, and it is a holiday built around the shoreline: breakfast, a swim, a lie-down, then perhaps a trip further afield if you feel like it.
Because the resort is out in the bay, any plans for Hurghada take a little organising. Egypt Discovery books the stay on request and can find out which rooms and meal arrangements are open for your dates, so you know what you are agreeing to before you pay.
Background
The facts
Sunrise Royal Makadi Resort is a five-star hotel with its address in Makadi Bay, on Egypt’s Red Sea coast. The listed location is KM 30 Safaga Hurghada Road.
Makadi Bay lies on the coast between Hurghada and Safaga, and the road address connects the resort to both. How long a journey takes depends on the traffic and where you are heading.
The Red Sea is known for its coral reefs and sea life. Makadi Bay is a modern resort area, and no ancient site or World Heritage property is named as part of the hotel's location.
Room types, meal plan, restaurants, facilities, check-in and check-out times and seasonal opening should all be checked for your dates. Egypt Discovery books stays here on request, but does not own or run the hotel.

Suited to
Is this for you?
Yes, if
- Couples and families after a Red Sea break away from central Hurghada will find Makadi Bay a natural base. It also suits anyone who would rather spend most days at the resort than keep heading into town.
Maybe not, if
- If you want restaurants and sights on the doorstep without arranging transport, a hotel in central Hurghada will suit you better. If you need step-free routes, particular child facilities or a certain meal plan, ask us to check them with the resort first.

Accessibility
Who can join this
Sunrise Royal Makadi Resort has its address on the Safaga Hurghada Road in Makadi Bay. We do not hold details of step-free routes, adapted rooms or accessible transfers, so these are checked with the hotel before you book. Resort grounds can mean long walks between reception, rooms, restaurants and pools, on paths that may be in the sun, uneven or sloping. There may be steps at entrances and around the pools and beach. Tell us what you need and we will ask the hotel about a suitable room and how to get about.
Before you go
What to pack & wear
Children & families
A minimum age for children and the way child rates work are not confirmed for this stay. Ask us to check the hotel's age bands, how many people a room takes and any child charges for your dates before you book. A pushchair may help around the grounds, though uneven paths and steps could get in the way. Cots and high chairs are best confirmed with the hotel for your room and restaurant.
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.

01How many nights can I book at Sunrise Royal Makadi Resort?
As many as the hotel can offer for your dates. The one-day length on the listing is just a placeholder and not a rule about minimum or maximum stays. Send us your arrival and departure dates and we will ask the hotel what is free, along with its check-in and check-out arrangements.02How would I travel from Hurghada airport to Sunrise Royal Makadi Resort?
The resort's address is KM 30 on the Safaga Hurghada Road, in Makadi Bay, so you will need a road transfer. A transfer is not stated as part of the room booking. Ask us what can be arranged and what it involves, and we will confirm the details for your dates before you fly.03What comes with the room rate at Sunrise Royal Makadi Resort?
That varies with the room and the board basis on offer. Meals, Wi-Fi and use of resort facilities are not assumed, so we check the terms attached to your rate before booking. Do not take it for granted that breakfast or drinks are covered.04Which costs might sit outside the room rate?
Anything not written into your confirmed rate should be treated as extra, which can include trips out, spa visits and transfers. We read through the rate conditions for your dates and flag what the hotel charges separately.05Can guests with limited mobility stay at Sunrise Royal Makadi Resort?
It depends on the room and its position in the grounds. We do not hold details of ramps or lifts, so we ask the hotel about step-free routes, bathroom layout and walking distances to the pool, restaurants and beach. Tell us your needs before booking and we will put the questions to the resort.06Is the resort a good choice for families?
A family suite is listed, with separate sleeping areas. Child age rules, extra beds and cots are not stated in our information, so give us the children's ages when you ask and we will check the terms for your chosen room.07What should I pack for a stay on the Red Sea coast?
Sun cream, a hat, sunglasses, swimwear and comfy shoes for walking round the grounds. If you plan to see a mosque or temple on another day, take lighter clothes that cover shoulders and knees. Bring any medication you rely on.08Am I allowed to take photographs at the resort?
Holiday snaps are usually fine, but the hotel sets its own rules, particularly around other guests and in the restaurants. Ask before photographing staff or anyone else, and check with reception if you want to use professional kit or a drone.09Which time of year suits a stay in Makadi Bay?
Makadi Bay is a Red Sea coastal spot, so conditions change with the season. Many British travellers look at the cooler months for winter sun, but check the forecast close to your dates. School holidays can fill up flights and rooms, so book early if your dates are fixed.10Where exactly is Sunrise Royal Makadi Resort?
The listed address is KM 30 Safaga Hurghada Road, Makadi Bay, on the Red Sea coast. That puts it on the road linking Hurghada and Safaga. For trips into town or to another resort area, plan the journey in advance and ask us about getting there.
