Egyptian Getaway to Ain Sukhna


Ain Sukhna

Egypt has many beautiful beaches some are more ‘’touristy’’ than others. Ain Sukhna is very much an Egyptian resort as it is only about an hour’s drive away from Cairo. The weather in the summer time is not as hot as Sharm El Sheikh or Hurghada but still in its mid 30’s.

Most people rent chalets in this area they are normally quite small with your basic facilities included. Normally 1 or 2 bedrooms, a living room, bathroom and small basically equipped kitchen. Chalets are generally what  we know as self catering apartments with the building laid out a bit wider and only go up 2 or 3 floors.  They can cost anything from 500 – 1500 LE per night depending on the time of year and there is no limit to how many can stay in one chalet...so just bunk up....great for large families. It is at its peak in the summer vacations and Festive holidays as Egyptians try to catch a few days away.

There are Hotels in the area Porta sukhna being the highest rated but is this hotel worth it ????  hmmmm ...You pay around 1000LE prpn for not much!!! Reviews on this hotel can be found at www.tripadvisor.com.

Around the hotel grounds you can find many coffee shops and restaurants, children’s play areas plus some children’s entertainment in the evenings and the great thing is you don’t have to be staying at the hotel to use them... it is open to all....   

There is always properties for sale where ever you go and Ain Sukhna is no different the Amer group have made a complex for people wanting to buy holiday homes a bit pricey but if you have it ... why not!!!! www.aradyelarab.com can guide you through this if you wish.

Ain Sukhna is very much an Egyptian family resort, its location and climate makes it a perfect quick getaway.
