Premium hotel-and-residential zone 10 km south of central Hurghada, anchored by the InterContinental resort and adjoining compounds.
The Intercontinental district is a premium hotel-and-residential strip 10 km south of central Hurghada, named after the InterContinental Hurghada Resort that anchors the area. The zone sits between Magawish and Sahl Hasheesh and is built almost entirely of hotel compounds and resort-style apartment blocks with private beach access. Long-term rentals here lean toward 1–2 bedroom apartments inside named developments.
Typical rental prices
- 1-bedroom, long-term$400–700 / month
- 2-bedroom, long-term$600–1000 / month
- Short-term 1-bedroom$40–90 / night
- Villa (3+ BR), long-term$900–1600 / month
Who stays in the Intercontinental district?
Hotel-style long-stayers, retirees on multi-month winter trips and remote-working professionals who want resort amenities without the Sahl Hasheesh price tag. English, Russian and German are the working languages across the strip.
What's the typical apartment like?
Resort-grade compound apartments inside named developments along the Intercontinental strip. Typically 60–140 sqm, fully furnished, with shared pools, gym, 24/7 security and private beach access included in the rent.
How far is the beach?
Inside the compounds: 2–10 minutes' walk to a private beach. The beaches here are sandier than central Hurghada's, with calmer water and direct snorkelling access in several compounds.
What's the trade-off versus Sahl Hasheesh?
The Intercontinental strip is materially cheaper than Sahl Hasheesh and closer to central Hurghada (10 km vs 20 km) and the airport (15 km vs 25 km). The trade-off: less of a self-contained gated-town feel, smaller restaurant cluster, more passing traffic on the Safaga road.
