Makadi Bay is a beautiful resort on the Red Sea coastline. Its beach is simply stunning but there is much more to the resort than sun and beach.

There are some magnificent stalls in the souk where you can spend many hours looking at all the wares from jewellery, pottery to cotton and silk. It has a good variety of streets where you can browse in the shops and spend some holiday money.

Its nightlife may be rather sedate for some, but if you are looking for something with an air of traditionalism, quiet restaurants offering excellent cuisine then you will find it at Makadi Bay.

Its diving possibilities are endless and if this is your hobby then you will be in your heaven. There are fantastic coral reefs where its beautifully coloured fish swarm around.

It has a variety of water sports on offer for all to enjoy including sailing, wind surfing, para sailing and kite surfing.

If you are looking for some activities away from the beach then you can find tennis, volley ball and spas at some of the nearby hotels. You can easily take a day trip to Luxor to visit the sights there.
