Strolling along the commercial Sekala street or in the Village Road area, you will find famous international chains such as Hard Rock Café, McDonalds, Pizza Hut and KFC, and local trendy venues such as Papas Beach Bar, Liquid Lounge, or Tuscany at the Marriott, just to name a few. You will also find a wide array of small inexpensive places, and famous Cairo restaurant chains such as Felfela, with authentic excellent Egyptian food and great views of the sea and Giftun Island from its terraces.

Be aware that local restaurants seldom serve any alcohol. They serve though great tasty local food!

In Hurghada, the hotels’ cuisine is in general quite good. Hotels normally have a main restaurant serving the boarding meals (breakfast and dinner, sometimes also lunch), and one or two a-la-carte restaurants to sample specialties or to celebrate that special occasion in an intimate atmosphere.
