The InterContinental Resort & Casino Hurghada is one of the most prestigious 5-star hotels on Egypt’s Red Sea Riviera — a landmark luxury resort set on the coastline of Hurghada, the largest and most developed beach resort city on Egypt’s Red Sea coast. Hurghada has transformed over the past three decades from a small fishing village into a major international beach resort, and the InterContinental occupies a prime position at the upmarket northern end of the resort strip. The combination of luxury resort facilities, private beach, a casino — rare among Egyptian resort hotels — and direct access to the extraordinarily rich coral reefs of the northern Red Sea makes this one of the most complete and distinctive resort offerings in the region.
The InterContinental Hurghada offers a large range of rooms and suites finished to luxury international standard, with air conditioning, private bathroom and balcony — many with sea views across the Red Sea. The resort’s facilities are exceptional: a private sandy beach, multiple outdoor swimming pools and sun terraces, fitness centre, watersports facilities, tennis courts, a full-service spa and the casino — an on-site gaming facility that is a significant draw for guests who want the full resort experience after the day’s beach and diving activities. Dining covers multiple restaurants and bars — from fine dining and international buffet to beach-bar casual — and the standard of food and service reflects the IHG InterContinental brand’s positioning at the top of the international hotel market.
Hurghada sits on the western shore of the Red Sea in eastern Egypt, separated from the Nile Valley by the Eastern Desert. The Red Sea here is one of the world’s premier diving and snorkelling destinations — the coral reefs are among the most biodiverse in the world, the water visibility regularly exceeds 20 metres, and the marine life (including reef sharks, manta rays, dugongs, dolphins and thousands of reef fish species) is extraordinary. The Giftun Islands National Park — a protected marine reserve accessible by day-boat trip from Hurghada — is one of the finest snorkelling and diving sites in the region, with pristine reefs and near-guaranteed dolphin encounters. Beyond the water, the Eastern Desert offers quad-biking, 4WD desert safaris and visits to Bedouin communities. Luxor is approximately 290 km west across the desert and is commonly visited as a full-day or overnight excursion from Hurghada — combining the beach resort holiday with the extraordinary temples and tombs of ancient Thebes.
