Top Things to Do in Makadi Bay

Top Things to Do in Makadi Bay

Your holiday in Makadi Bay can be as relaxed or as active as you like.

1. Snorkel & Dive the Famous House Reefs

This is a must-do. Simply walk into the sea from your hotel’s beach or pier and find yourself in a natural aquarium. You’ll float over colorful coral and swim with parrotfish, angelfish, and even sea turtles. For divers, the bay has several PADI-certified dive centers ready to take you on boat trips to deeper sites.

2. Make a Splash at Makadi Water World

This is one of the largest aqua parks in the region, boasting 50 different water slides and attractions for all ages, from thrilling “kamikaze” slides to gentle wave pools. Many hotels have their own impressive water parks, but this one is a main attraction.

3. Relax on the Beach

This is why you came! The beaches are clean, the water is clear, and the all-inclusive service means you’ll have a cold drink in your hand all day long. Enjoy the warm Egyptian sun and the gentle sea breeze.

4. Play a Round of Golf

Makadi Bay is home to a superb 18-hole championship golf course, complete with stunning views of the Red Sea and the mountains. It’s the perfect way to spend a morning before the day gets too hot.

5. Take a Desert Adventure

Use your resort as a base for adventure! Egypt Fun Tours can pick you up directly from your hotel for a thrilling quad bike (ATV) safari into the nearby Eastern Desert. Ride over dunes, visit a Bedouin village, and watch the sunset paint the mountains in shades of orange and purple.
