Pickalbatros Dana Beach Resort - Hurghada 

Pickalbatros Dana Beach Resort 5* is an absolute dream for a couple's getaway! My husband and I just spent a week here, and it completely exceeded our expectations. The resort is massive, beautiful, and immaculately clean. We loved strolling through the lush green gardens and taking the little boat rides along the lagoon that connect different parts of the property to the beach. The food across all their à la carte restaurants was fantastic, and the service was warm and attentive without being intrusive. We spent our mornings relaxing by the crystal-clear pools and our afternoons on the golden sandy beach soaking up the sun. While the resort itself is wonderful, the absolute highlight of our trip was exploring Egypt outside the hotel. Instead of overpaying for tours at the reception desk, we booked all our excursions through Sheriff Egypt, a fantastic local agency that is super easy to find by searching their name online. Their prices are significantly lower than what the hotel guides charge, and the quality of service is top-notch. We decided to book both Cairo and Luxor trips on an individual program, and it was the best decision we made. We had a brand-new, air-conditioned 2026 model minivan all to ourselves, which made the drives extremely comfortable. Our private guide was exceptionally knowledgeable, friendly, and spoke fluent English, bringing all the history to life just for us. We also booked a boat trip to Orange Bay (Giftun Island) through them, and it was unforgettable. The yacht was brand-new, very modern, and well-equipped, and the crew and guides spoke great English, making sure everyone had an amazing time snorkeling and relaxing on the white-sand beach. If you are planning a trip to Hurghada, do yourself a favor and stay at Dana Beach, and make sure to book your adventures with Sheriff Egypt—you won't regret it!
