Hurghada International Airport
Worst experience ever!
We traveled to several airports, including Africa but this one is by far the worst. International departures has couple of souvenir stores and duty free ones but with poor offer. There is also a restaurant and cafeteria to spend your time while waiting to board. The overall public area and toilets are decent clean. We didn’t see any baggage wrapping service around.
The worst part is the check-in process and interaction with airport/ government representatives. For the 1st instance we were refused boarding for our flight (together with some other 8 people), so we spent couple of hours in the night trying to identify the reason and get proper evidence for their decision. No representative for the company was there, we were not presented our rights or any other details. The information desk was useless, saying that this happens often and there is nothing for them to do. Tourism police was also useless, they weren’t even speaking in English to us. At some point they were saying that we cannot board as we landed on a different airport. We asked several times for a written confirmation on boarding denial or at least to tell us their name, nothing. After boarding time has passed they asked us to leave the airport. This is really an awful experience and I don’t want to think of the persons who might travel for the first time, or are low on money, don’t have a good level of English, etc. Just horrible!
Second time we managed to board, from 3 check-in desks only 1 was open and worked really slow. There were no pens to fill in the exit the country form, so make sure you have one at hand. At passport control again there were only 2 officials although several international flights were scheduled at the time. Although we had our passport check and exist Visa, keep your passport at hand as you will be asked to show it one more time.
I would not recommend this airport to anyone and don’t think I will ever come back.

Ristorante Tuscany
We were so fortunate to have the restaurant as part of our hotel complex, so we enjoyed dinner here every night.
There is a good selection of Italian food which takes you from Red Sea Coastline to the Mediterranean. From the starter to the dessert the quality and tastes of everything was outstanding and 100% worth the price.
A nice drinks menu is also available, including alcoholic drinks as well. When choosing the carafe wines they always offered us the chance to taste it (even different types) before our decision.
Complementary snacks and dessert was offered.
Servers are also great and always professional, efficient, happy and polite. Special thanks to Ahmed and Hussein for hospitality and great service, making our nights here so special. For our last night they reserved our table and decorated it nicely.
Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to eat in Hurghada. We would like to come back here again and again.
