Day Trips from Makadi Bay
Makadi Bay is a quiet stretch of all-inclusive resorts south of Hurghada, known for its house reefs and family-friendly beaches. Guests here often wonder whether excursions are practical from so far out; the answer is yes — pickups are simply adjusted.
For sea trips, expect to be collected 30–45 minutes before guests in central Hurghada. For a Luxor day trip, it is the other way round: Makadi Bay is on the way south toward Safaga, where the road to Luxor begins, so you get a little more sleep.

Local tips for Makadi Bay guests
Makadi's house reefs are great, but a boat day at Orange Bay shows you a completely different Red Sea.
Families staying here often combine a quad safari — the desert starts close to Makadi — with an evening at the resort.
