More than one million British travellers visit Egypt every year, and the UK holds firm as one of the country’s principal European source markets. Egypt is seeing its highest ever international visitor numbers, and British demand for premium Red Sea stays has grown as part of that trend. To meet that demand, Rixos Hotels Egypt has opened Rixos Premium Magawish Bay View, a second resort in Hurghada.

Direct flights from London, Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol and Glasgow give British holidaymakers straightforward access to Hurghada. The destination draws visitors with its year-round sunshine, sandy beaches, and developed all-inclusive offer.

The new Rixos Premium Magawish Bay View opens adjacent to Rixos Premium Magawish Suites & Villas and carries the brand’s Ultra All-Inclusive concept. It brings contemporary architecture, a selection of dining options, and wide lifestyle facilities to the Red Sea coast.

Hurghada International Airport is seven kilometres away, and the resort sits on the Red Sea with direct access to clear waters and sandy beaches.

An Important Milestone in Our Red Sea Growth Vision Commenting on the opening, Erkan Yildirim, CEO of Rixos Hotels Egypt, said: “Rixos Premium Magawish Bay View represents an important milestone in our growth vision for the Red Sea.
