    ABOUT THE HOTEL

    • Official Rating

    The Fort Arabesque Resort and Spa's sat plumb next to the Red Sea, with a sandy beach and coral-filled waters sidling up as close as they can get.

    This place has a whole load of highlights. For starters, it’s right by a huge patch of sand. Then there’s the pool scene – you'll find four perfect-for-a-dunk places in total, and they're peppered with waterfalls, cute bridges and a swim-up bar.

    The gardens that cocoon the hotel are chock-full of palms, hibiscus and jasmine. Scattered throughout them, you’ll find a handful of eateries, along with a swanky spa offering Thai massages* and couples’ treatments*.

    While you're away, you can speak to us anytime - we're available 24/7 via the TUI App, phone, SMS and email. The easy-to-use TUI App is also packed with info and tips. It sends you important updates, like your airport transfer times, too.

    5 Day break in February 2020

    Had the private transfer turned up at the airport on our arrival to take us to the hotel I would have given them a 5 star. But the fact that it wasted an hour of our time searching for them and in the end having to pay for a taxi. I was not impressed which wasn't a good start to our holiday and ended up with me in tears feeling very vulnerable. The holiday was booked at the last minute so I am hoping this was the reason for the mix up. Unfortunately due to COVID 19, I have been unable to make a complaint. But to be fair, this wasn't the hotel's fault, but our holiday provider. 'Holiday Gems'. But once at the hotel I have to say everything was lovely and the staff were very helpful. I have a gluten intolerance and they couldn't have been more helpful, telling me each day which dishes I could eat from the buffet and making me special bread in the mornings for breakfast. It was a pleasant change to swim in a warm pool each day. We paid for the a la carte restaurant while we were there for 3 out of the 5 evenings, as we enjoyed the entertainment there as well. You could just turn up for a drink and the entertainment and not pay to eat if you want. The buffet was very good, we just wanted to treat ourselves as a special getaway for us and it wasn't very expensive. £15 pp. If you walk down the beach a short way past the 159 restaurant, you can then join a promenade walk down past all the other hotels in that area until you get to the long jetty by the Grand Makadi Hotel where you can go snorkelling there are some lovely fish to see there. only 15min walk. You can also cut through the Makadi Spa hotel to the Makadi shopping Mall with lots of different restaurants and local craft shops if you fancy an hour out. Thank you Fort Arabesque for a lovely getaway. We will be back.
    Great to be back in Egypt

    Best house reef we have seen yet in Egypt, lots to see just meters from the beach. plenty of food choice and room on the beach. We especially liked the fact the beach guys make you walk into the water at two/three points to stop you walking over the coral to protect it all - thumbs up guys. we were heading back next week but will sadly have to wait now :-(
    Heaven in Makadi Bay...

    We have been home from Fort Arsbesque (our second home..) for 4 weeks now. We had a truly wonderful 3 weeks there. It was our 7th visit over the last 10 years and it still draws us back again and again. The hotel is large but is blessed because if that. It has a very large beach front which allows you to wander up and down the beach - there is a bar at each end of the beach if you need an excuse to walk. Because it is so large it has the most amazing gardens and green spaces . The magnificent ground workers keep them in amazing shape and a riot of colours with all the planting. There is a choice of restaurants plus food is available at the main beach bar and the amazing 159 Club. The food is plentiful and varied - we never struggle with choice. The rooms are large, bright and comfortable and the best thing is that most have a great sea view. Ours was on the 3rd floor and we loved it. I can never say enough about the hotels best asset which is the staff. They are so friendly and welcoming. Nothing us too much trouble for them . We have made so many friends among the staff over the years. We also enjoyed catching up with the many friends we have made during our holidays. The house reef is amazing....!! No boat is needed to go snorkelling - just straight off the beach! We can’t wait to return again next year...!!
    Excellent choice for our Golden Wedding Anniversary

    We have been staying at The Fort, twice a year for a very long time. We had our Golden Wedding celebrations here and were very well looked after in 159. The gardens are spectacular and are a credit to the Green Staff. During out stay {March} Egypt went into Lockdown because of the virus and then we saw how well the hotel the management and staff dealt with the situation. We had help from the staff in getting a flight back to the U.K. as easyJet had abandoned us!!! Four of us Brits were the last guests to leave the hotel but up to the last moment the bar was open, meals were still delicious and the lifeguard was on duty by the pool, we could have not been looked after any better. Booked as usual for November 2020 so everything crossed for then. Thank you Max, your staff are a credit to your management. Vivien and David.
    Fabulous holiday

    We stayed for two weeks in January. Had a fabulous time. We went for the snorkelling and it didn’t disappoint! Absolutely amazing!! The beach was beautiful! Plenty of sun beds and plenty of activities. Water was so clear .. it was like swimming with the cast of nemo ! Our room was spotless (thanks to the boys) and spacious. The food was varied & the service was professional but friendly. And different restaurants so you weren’t stuck to one. I loved that the drinks were served in glasses with table service. We spent every day down the beach & ate at the beach bar. Again the staff were lovely especially Waleed. We only went to the pool once .. it’s not our thing but they seemed clean with a swim up bar ! There was plenty to do day & night and the entertainment staff did a good job of making everyone feel involved! Some of the shows were hysterical! One special mention must go to Dasha guest relations. She literally made our holiday! She was so funny & friendly but also very professional. She went above & beyond in every way to make sure our holiday was fantastic. And it was ! We will definitely be back next January & every January for the foreseeable future.
