The Oberoi, Sahl Hasheesh is a luxurious
all-suite resort set on the
coast of the Red Sea at Hurghada.
With 48 acres of palm-filled grounds
and 850 metres of private sandy beach, Sahl Hasheesh
is a spectacular and
dramatic resort.
Shady marble colonnades, domed pavilions, atriums open to the

architecture are a perfect complement to the setting. Unlike
so many resorts,
the buildings enhance the environment here.

set in green lawns with palms for shade and bougainvillea for colour.
And all
set against the brilliant blue of the Red Sea.
