- Top tip: Bring light, breathable golf clothing and sun protection. In Hurghada, combine your golf with snorkelling or a boat trip to make the most of the Red Sea’s famous marine life.
- Travel time: Direct flights from the UK take around 5 hours to Hurghada or 4.5–5 hours to Cairo, with quick onward transfers to all major golf resorts.
- Transport: Cairo is best explored with private transfers or guided tours. Hurghada and El Gouna offer convenient resort shuttles and short, easy transfers between hotels, marinas, and golf courses.
- Booking tip: Popular courses such as Madinaty Golf Club in Cairo and Somabay Golf on the Red Sea can fill up during peak season, so secure your tee times early for the best availability.
