Are Egyptian resort beaches and restaurants crowded over the New Year holidays?

From messages by 3 participants in 1 source · Last activity: 24 days ago

TL;DR

Reports suggest the main crowding is at the 31 December gala dinner, where queues and limited seating can be an issue. The beach generally still has available sunbeds, including for standard-room guests.

What the community said

The busiest time is the 31 December New Year’s dinner: guests report queues, tight seating and less-than-smooth organisation. Arrive early for the gala dinner.

According to a guest report, beach space is usually available even for guests on standard accommodation plans. Reserving a sunbed in advance should not be necessary.

Heavy crowds are reported mainly for the festive dinner rather than for the beach throughout the New Year period. If you want a quieter experience, treat the beach day separately from the evening programme on 31 December.
