If you do not yet know where Sahl Hasheesh is, then Egypt has remained for you "terra incognita"! "Green Valley", and this is how the name of this resort is translated, refers to places of rest that many tourists have not chosen. The new resort Sahl-Hasheesh is a luxury holiday on the Red Sea coast.
Hundreds of years ago this area was called Isis. This name she received in honor of the goddess, patronizing magic and witchcraft. For two thousand years Izis served as the largest trading port in Egypt, and then was wiped off the face of the earth with water, like the legendary Atlantis. It can not be said that Izis's story is as rich as the history of Atlantis, but this does not prevent enterprising investors from playing on the feelings of tourists, using the secrets and riddles of the area for their own purposes. The twelve-kilometer stretch of the Red Sea coast, where the construction of the tourist infrastructure continues today, is already ready to match the quality of the service with the most popular Egyptian resorts.
It is not known who exactly suggested the restoration of the ancient city under the water, but the idea was captured by the famous architect Norman Foster. Currently, hotels in Sahl Hasheesh continue to be built, but some of them are already actively hosting guests, luring them with unsurpassed quality of service and beautiful clean beaches.

Infrastructure of the resort
If you are planning a holiday in Sahl Hasheesh, take care of booking the apartments in hotels in advance, because there are not so many of them, not more than a dozen. Luxurious living conditions are offered by such "five" as Pyramisa, Old Palace, Citadel Azur Resort, The Oberoi, Premier Le Reve and Premier Romance. There is an active construction of residential complexes, where the wealthiest people of the world are trying to buy apartments. And the land plots of oil tycoons and Arab sheikhs are in demand. This desert, perhaps, is the most expensive in the world! That is why there is no question of any budgetary rest in this resort.

According to the idea of Norman Foster, in Sahl Hasheesh about 85% of the territories will be allocated to gardens, lagoons, canals and golf courses. Already today, you can see copies of the columns of the Hypostyle Hall from the Luxor's Karnak Temple. These giants meet tourists at the entrance to Sahl Hasheesh. In the central part of the resort, Piazza is divided into a wide alley bordered by palm trees. Here is built a huge gazebo, where there is a playground that opens the view of the Red Sea.

As for the beaches, here they are sandy, perfectly clean, but not all the territory is equipped with all the equipment necessary for a comfortable stay. This is due to the fact that not all hotels are ready to open the rest to the holidaymakers due to the ongoing construction.

The architects took care of the diving lovers. For them, ideal conditions were created in Sahl Hasheesh. And always a good weather in Egypt, and the bay of Sahl Hasheesh itself favors fascinating diving. At present, the pontoon bridge is under construction. With food, there are still problems. If you stayed in a five-star hotel, then you can enjoy local and European cuisine in the restaurants at the hotels. You can also visit neighboring Hurghada, where the food is excellent. From there they organize excursions, because from Sahl Hasheesh you can go only to Safaga and Makadi Bay.
Transport communication with the resort is provided only by minibuses from Hurghada, the distance to which is 18 kilometers. There is also an international airport.
