02Overview
A first look
Nabq Bay is where northern Sharm El Sheikh opens out, with the Red Sea on one side and wider desert scenery behind. The Nabq Protected Area, known for its mangroves and coral reefs, gives this stretch of Sinai a different feel from the busier centre of town. A stay here revolves around the hotel and the coast rather than a timetable of sights.
Egypt Discovery books the room and confirms the room type, board basis and services for your dates before you travel. We can explain what your chosen rate includes, so nothing comes as a surprise at check-in.
Background
The facts
The Steigenberger Alcazar is a five-star hotel in Nabq Bay, in the Sharm El Sheikh area of Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula. Room type, board basis, facility access and extras depend on the booking.
Nabq Bay lies north of central Sharm El Sheikh on the Red Sea coast. The wider region takes in Nabq Protected Area, a coastal reserve known for mangroves and coral reefs. Check current access arrangements before planning a visit.
Sharm El Sheikh is a resort town in South Sinai beside the Red Sea. Nabq’s coastal ecosystems are part of the setting, and we make no claim about any historic date or UNESCO listing.
Check-in and check-out times, dining and use of the hotel’s facilities depend on the confirmed booking. Ask Egypt Discovery to verify the room type and package services for your dates.

Is this for you?
Yes, if

Maybe not, if
- Pick a hotel in central Sharm El Sheikh if you want to be nearer the town and do not want the extra distance of Nabq Bay. Ask us to confirm the room type, board basis, facilities and services for your dates before you book.

Tailor it
Make it yours
Room type and board basis depend on the booking, so ask us what is on offer for your dates. We can also look at arranging airport transfers or trips to Nabq Protected Area separately.
Your own specialist deals with each request before you book.
Where it fits
The Alcazar can be the Red Sea leg of a longer Egypt holiday, alongside Cairo or Luxor for the ancient sites. Nabq Bay is north of central Sharm El Sheikh, so allow time to travel between the two.
Accessibility
Who can join this
The Steigenberger Alcazar is in Nabq Bay, Sharm El Sheikh. How accessible it is depends on your room, the route through the property and the facilities you plan to use. Resort grounds may mean long walks, outdoor paving, steps and changes of level, and the sand near the beach can be hard going for a wheelchair or walking frame. Ask us before booking to confirm step-free routes, lifts, accessible room features, bathroom layouts and the help available. We will check your needs with the hotel but cannot promise wheelchair access everywhere.
Before you go
What to pack & wear
Children & families
Check the minimum age, the rates for children and any age limits on rooms for your dates before you book. What a child costs can depend on the room type, how many people share, the board basis and the child’s age. Pushchairs can be useful around the resort, although outdoor paths and beach sand make them hard to push. Ask the hotel directly about highchairs, cots and family room set-ups.
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.
