The Oberoi Sahl Hasheesh

The Oberoi, Sahl Hasheesh is a luxurious all-suite resort set on the coast of the Red Sea at Hurghada.

With 48 acres of palm-filled grounds and 850 metres of private sandy beach, Sahl Hasheesh is a spectacular and dramatic resort.

Shady marble colonnades, domed pavilions, atriums open to the sky – the elegance of the traditionally inspired contemporary Arabic architecture are a perfect complement to the setting. Unlike so many resorts, the buildings enhance the environment here.

The resort interiors feature pristine marble public spaces with galleried courtyards and fountain pools. Paths meander between the domed private suites, set in green lawns with palms for shade and bougainvillea for colour. And all set against the brilliant blue of the Red Sea.

Sahl Hasheesh has been recognized as a leading environmentally sensitive enterprise.

• Number 6, in “100 Fabulous Places for 2001”

Built on ground level and with spacious courtyards, opulent guest accommodation include Deluxe, Grand and Royal suites.

The hotel is 25 minutes from the center of shopping and nightlife and 20 minutes drive from Hurghada International airport.
