Hurghada

A long strip of big family resorts, and the place for slides. Pickalbatros's Neverland complex claims 45 pools and 81 water slides, the largest aqua park in Egypt and the region. Its Jungle Aqua Park hotel lists all its food as halal, but alcohol comes with the standard all-inclusive and leaves your room only if you book through a halal travel site. Outside the hotels, Egyptian food is halal by default. Leave town and it is desert, but rain barely registers: sources put the yearly total between almost nothing and about 20 mm. The best months are April and mid-October to mid-November; July highs sit in the mid-30s °C. Flights take about five and a half hours. The FCDO's Middle East warning covers Egypt, but no resort here is a no-go area.
