On the western coast of the Red Sea between Safaga and Hurghada, Makadi Bay nestles gently between serene desert sand dunes and the Red Sea Mountains. Boasting long stunning stretches of gently sloping white sand, translucent waters, and inshore reefs that are home to exquisite marine life, this tranquil destination is ideal for lovers of snorkelling and diving. Our hotels, which are grouped along the shore, combined with the Makadi Mall and Makadi Sports Centre, create a holiday village with everything you could possibly need.
View HotelsThe Makadi Mall
No mall would be complete without shops, and the Makadi Mall is no different. Take time to explore the boutiques lining its lanes and you could pick up some jewellery for a loved one, or a unique home decoration to remind you of your trip. There is a well-stocked toy shop guaranteed to bring out your inner child (or replace a forgotten favourite), and the florist is perfect for surprising your partner with fresh flowers on that special occasion. There is also a fully-stocked pharmacy and an ATM. All the shops offer western-style pricing and there's no hassle.
