Question 3

Nightly rates at Red Sea Holiday Rental start from around 800 EGP for a studio and range up to 3,500 EGP or more for a large beachfront apartment. Prices vary by season, property size, and location. We always show the full price upfront — no hidden fees. Contact us directly for long-stay discounts.

Question 4

Is it better to book a Hurghada apartment direct or through Airbnb?

Accepted Answer

Booking direct with Red Sea Holiday Rental means you pay no platform commission (Airbnb typically adds 14–16% on top of the base rate). You also get direct WhatsApp access to the property owner, flexible check-in times, and local support from people who actually live in Hurghada. Our prices are always equal to or lower than any platform listing.

Question 5

Where to stay in Sahl Hasheesh — apartments or hotels?

Accepted Answer

Sahl Hasheesh is a gated luxury resort community 18 km south of Hurghada, known for its private beaches, calm turquoise water, and upscale promenade. Holiday apartments here offer far more space and privacy than hotels at comparable prices. Red Sea Holiday Rental manages several beachfront apartments in Sahl Hasheesh — ideal for couples, families, and longer stays.

Question 6

What is Sahl Hasheesh like for a holiday?

Accepted Answer

Sahl Hasheesh is one of Egypt's most beautiful resort destinations — a purpose-built community with pristine beaches, a marina, restaurants, and direct Red Sea access. It is quieter and more upscale than central Hurghada, making it perfect for relaxation, snorkelling, and diving. Red Sea Holiday Rental has direct-booking apartments in Sahl Hasheesh with sea views and pool access.

Question 7

How do I get from Hurghada Airport to Sahl Hasheesh?

Accepted Answer

Sahl Hasheesh is approximately 30–40 minutes from Hurghada International Airport by taxi or private transfer. Red Sea Holiday Rental can arrange airport transfers for guests booking directly with us — just ask when you make your reservation.

Question 8

Are there short-term rentals available in El Gouna?

Accepted Answer

Yes — El Gouna is one of the most sought-after destinations on the Red Sea for short-term apartment rentals. Red Sea Holiday Rental offers direct-booking apartments in El Gouna, a planned resort town 25 km north of Hurghada with lagoons, a marina, golf courses, and excellent restaurants. Minimum stays typically start at 3 nights.

Question 9

What makes El Gouna different from Hurghada?

Accepted Answer

El Gouna is a self-contained resort town built around a series of lagoons and canals — often called the 'Venice of the Red Sea'. It has its own airport, hospital, international schools, and a lively marina. It is more upscale and quieter than central Hurghada, popular with divers, kite-surfers, and long-stay residents. Red Sea Holiday Rental has apartments in El Gouna available for short and long-term rental.

Question 10

How much does a short-term rental in El Gouna cost?
