Snapshot
02Overview
Driving south along the Red Sea road, you reach Madinat Coraya after a long run of open desert, and the stay that follows is quiet and spread out rather than busy.
At Steigenberger Coraya Beach nobody under 16 can be booked in, which makes it a sensible shortlist item for couples, friends and older teenagers and a non-starter for younger children. Tell us your dates and who is travelling, and we will check rooms and meals with the hotel. Please also check how you will arrive, since the hotel lies on the road between two towns.

Highlights
Things to Consider
Worth knowing
Plenty of Marsa Alam resorts welcome young children. This one sets a minimum age of 16, so it is ruled out if anyone in your party is younger.
Choose your room
Two guests are well served here, with a terrace looking over the garden, a private bathroom, air conditioning and a flat-screen TV with satellite channels. Beds are two twins or one queen. It is the quieter choice if you would rather not face the pool or the sea.
Up to three guests fit in this deluxe room, which has air conditioning, a private entrance, a garden-facing terrace and a bathroom with a walk-in shower. Beds are two twins or one queen. A good pick if you want extra space or are travelling as three.
Dining
We have no description of restaurants, bars or menus, so we will not invent one. What you pay for meals depends on the board basis, which could be bed and breakfast, half board or all-inclusive. Tell us which you want and we will check it is on offer for your dates. We can also ask about dietary needs.

Tailor it
Ask us to check which room types, views and board bases are open on your dates, and what the hotel offers. Transfers and trips in the Marsa Alam area can be raised too, subject to availability.
Your own specialist deals with each request before you book.
Where it fits
Slot it in before or after a Cairo or Nile trip. Madinat Coraya is a coastal add-on and not a stop between the main Nile Valley sights.
Accessibility
Please ask the hotel to confirm access to rooms, entrances, lifts and pool areas before you book. At a resort like this, routes may include long outdoor walks, steps, changes of level or uneven ground, which can be hard for wheelchair users or anyone with limited stamina. Check for level access from reception to your room, the restaurant and the beach, and whether an accessible room can be reserved. Tell us your needs before the stay is confirmed.
Before you go
Guests must be 16 or over, so younger children cannot be booked in and no child rate applies. Check the age rule and any age-linked room conditions when you book. Pushchair access and high chairs are not relevant at this age limit, but ask the hotel directly if either affects your party.
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 stands at Madinat Coraya, kilometre 67 on the Al Quseir–Marsa Alam road, in the Marsa Alam area. That road address is all we have to go on for planning a transfer. The listing names no nearby landmark, so we give no distances here. Ask us about transfers and journey times for your dates. Remember that nobody under 16 can stay.

You could also ask the hotel whether it buys food or services from businesses around Marsa Alam, and how it handles water and waste.
