Part of a larger Steigenberger resort complex on Hurghada’s beachfront, the Al Dau Beach Hotel is built around a genuinely large lagoon-style pool system — a lazy river and heated saltwater pool alongside direct private-beach access on the Red Sea.
The resort includes a nine-hole golf course right beside the beach, a rarity on this stretch of coast, alongside a full water-sports and dive center run by Ilios Aqua Club. Recently renovated rooms went all-suite, with furnished balconies throughout and sound-proof windows.
Nine restaurants and bars spread across the resort, from the beachfront Alex Beach Club with its European fusion menu to Tamarind’s international dinner buffets and a dedicated seafood and Japanese restaurant — a genuinely wide spread for a single all-inclusive property.
A nine-hole golf course sits right beside the beach — a genuine rarity on Egypt’s Red Sea coast.
A kids’ club with a pirate-ship playground, plus access to a neighboring hotel’s water slides, makes this a strong choice for families. The property is also noted among Hurghada’s more accessible resorts, with several rooms specifically equipped for guests with limited mobility.
Bookable directly through Steigenberger or standard hotel platforms. Walking distance to the Hurghada Museum, with the Grand Aquarium and marina a short drive away — genuine options for a change of pace beyond the resort grounds.
A large lagoon-style pool system on Hurghada’s beachfront, within a bigger Steigenberger complex. Al Dau works for travellers who want scale and a proper beach without the full water-park experience, and it is one of the more reliable mid-to-upper choices on this stretch.
For water parks and children, Jaz Aquamarine or its stablemate Aqua Magic. For town access, Hilton Hurghada Plaza. For a calmer, more upmarket bay to the south, Baron Palace or The Oberoi Sahl Hasheesh.
Hurghada is roughly four hours by road from Luxor, which makes this coast the practical one for pairing a Nile trip with a beach week. It is a long transfer but a well-worn one, and it is the main reason to choose Hurghada over Sharm when your itinerary includes the temples.
