Hotel transfer overview
Fort Arabesque Resort is a Makadi Bay hotel reached by road from Hurghada International Airport. Makadi Bay contains several resort compounds and hotel entrances, so the complete accommodation name should be confirmed rather than using only the general resort area. The recorded road route from Hurghada International Airport is approximately 30.2 km and normally takes around 33 minutes by private transfer, subject to traffic and final hotel access. Your Car, SUV or Minibus is reserved for the passengers on the booking and travels directly to the confirmed hotel without shared passengers or additional hotel stops. Before confirmation, send the flight number, complete passenger count and actual luggage details so the route and suitable vehicle can be checked for this specific hotel transfer.
