El Geisum Village

Hurghada


This stalwart of the Hurghada scene isn't going to win any style awards, but its tidy and bright rooms, decked out in a cream-and-green combo, are popular for a cheap beach break. The centre of the action is the curvaceous swimming pool surrounded by well-tended gardens that run down to a minuscule patch of private beach.

It's popular with Egyptian families up for boisterous fun-in-the-sun, so don't expect a peaceful retreat.
