Sahl Hasheesh
سهل حشيش
A high-end resort bay about 20 km south of Hurghada, with a long seaside promenade and the 'Sunken City' ruins, where you can snorkel.
Sahl Hasheesh is a newly developed resort area about 20 km south of Hurghada. It has roughly 12 km of coastline and several luxury hotels. At its centre are an old-style town square and a long wooden jetty. In the bay, the 'Sunken City' consists of colonnades and steps that were submerged by the sea before the developer completed the project. They are now a snorkelling site where you can see corals and fish. The water is clear and calm, suiting families who want a relaxed holiday. Non-guests can walk through the public areas, but beach access requires payment or spending at a hotel.
