Excursions & Diving from Fort Arabesque Resort, Spa & Villas
Fort Arabesque Resort, Spa & Villas is in Makadi Bay, south of Hurghada. Its house reef is often called the best in the area: corals start about half a metre deep and can be reached straight from the beach. From here you can join every trip in the region — island boat days, desert safaris, diving, and day trips to Luxor and Cairo. We pick you up right at the hotel reception.

Snorkeling & diving from Fort Arabesque Resort, Spa & Villas
With a house reef on the doorstep, you can snorkel right from the hotel. For dolphins, islands and bigger reefs, a boat day is still worth it — it is a completely different underwater world.
For diving, we book you with a dive centre close to your hotel: a try dive with no experience needed, daily boat dives for certified divers, or a PADI Open Water course.
