02Overview

A first look

Umm El Sid is one of the quieter-feeling districts of Sharm El Sheikh, and Pickalbatros Aqua Blu has its address there. The hotel lists a pool, a spa, a gym, a garden and a rooftop terrace, so a day can be spent on site or on trips of your own choosing.

What we book is the room, not a tour. Before you pay, we confirm the room type, the meal basis and the facilities with the hotel, and we can add transfers or excursions if you ask.

Background

The facts

Pickalbatros Aqua Blu is a four-star hotel in the Umm El Sid district of Sharm El Sheikh, on Egypt's Red Sea coast. The address on file is Haddabet Umm El Sid Khazan Street. Egypt Discovery books the room on request.

Sharm El Sheikh lies at the southern end of the Sinai Peninsula, where the Gulf of Aqaba and the Gulf of Suez meet the Red Sea. Inland, St Catherine’s Monastery is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, though we state no distance from the hotel.

This listing is for accommodation only. Room, meal basis, facilities, check-in and check-out times and transfers are confirmed before you book.

    Tailor it

    Make it yours

    We can look at room types and meal bases for your dates. Ask about airport transfers or trips out of Sharm El Sheikh and we will see what can be added.

    Your own specialist deals with each request before you book.

    Where it fits

    Accessibility

    Who can join this

    The hotel stands on Haddabet Umm El Sid Khazan Street. Step-free routes, lift access, room adaptations and how you get into the pool should all be checked with the hotel before you book. Resort paths can mean long walks, slopes or steps, and access varies between buildings. Tell us what you need, and we will ask whether an accessible room is free on your dates and what its bathroom offers. If walking is hard, ask how far the room is from reception, the restaurant and the pool.

    Before you go

    What to pack & wear

    Children & families

    Children are welcome under the hotel's current conditions. Minimum ages, child rates and whether children share a room or need an extra bed depend on the room and dates, so ask before you book. Pushchairs can be useful around the grounds, though slopes and steps may slow you down. Ask whether high chairs and suitable sleeping arrangements are available.

    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 hotel stands on Haddabet Umm El Sid Khazan Street, in the Umm El Sid district of Sharm El Sheikh. We hold no checked distances to the beach, the shops or the airport, so we quote none. Ask us or the hotel about taxis and transfers before you arrive. Egypt Discovery has offices in Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, Hurghada, Marsa Alam and Sharm El Sheikh, and can help with arrangements on the ground.

    Asked & answered

    Frequent questions

    1. 01For how long can I book this hotel?
      The listing is for a one-day stay, and longer stays can be asked about. Tell us your dates and we will check with the hotel. Its own check-in and check-out times apply, and we pass them on once the booking is confirmed.
    2. 02How do I get from the airport to the hotel?
      The hotel is on Haddabet Umm El Sid Khazan Street in Sharm El Sheikh, and it lists an airport shuttle among its facilities. We cannot promise a transfer is part of the room, so ask us and we will see what can be arranged for your arrival.
    3. 03What does the room price include?
      That depends on the offer and its meal basis. Breakfast and other meals are not automatic, so wait for our written confirmation of what is covered. We can tell you whether the rate is bed and breakfast, half board or all-inclusive.
    4. 04What is left out of the price?
      Spa visits, excursions and airport transport are likely to be extras unless your confirmation says otherwise. Ask us to go through what the offer covers, especially if you need a particular meal arrangement.
    5. 05Is the hotel suitable for guests with reduced mobility?
      That depends on the room and the facilities you need. Tell us about step-free access, bathroom layout or walking distances, and we will ask the hotel what is possible for your dates rather than assume.
    6. 06Is it a good place for a family holiday?
      Family rooms are listed, and one of the rooms is described for two adults and two children. Cots, extra beds and age rules are for the hotel to confirm, so tell us who is travelling and we will check.
    7. 07What should I pack?
      Light clothes, sun cream, swimwear for the pool and comfortable shoes for trips out. Pack something modest for visits to mosques or other religious sites. Ask whether towels and similar items are provided before you go.
    8. 08Are there rules on taking photographs?
      They can differ between areas. Ask the hotel before photographing staff, other guests or private spaces. On trips out, check the rules at each site and never photograph military or security buildings.
    9. 09When is the best time to book?
      Sharm El Sheikh is a year-round beach destination, so your choice depends on how you feel about heat, school holidays and your budget. Tell us when you hope to go and we will check availability.
    10. 10Can I visit Ras Um Sid from the hotel?
      Ras Um Sid is one of the local spots visitors head for. We have no checked distance or journey time from the hotel, so ask us and we will look at the options for getting there.
