Map

Location

The Cleopatra Luxury Resort is located directly on the picturesque, extensive sandy beach of Makadi Bay, about 30 kilometers south of Hurghada. This region is a true paradise for divers and snorkelers. As the access to the sea near the shore is rocky, wearing swim shoes is recommended. A hotel-owned jetty leads over the offshore reef into deeper water, allowing for comfortable entry into the sea. From there, you can experience the colorful underwater world of the Red Sea up close. The lively city center of Hurghada, with its numerous restaurants, bars, and shops, is about 35 kilometers away and offers diverse entertainment options. Hurghada International Airport is also only 30 kilometers away, ensuring a convenient journey.
