Bungalow vs main building hotel room in Egypt — what's the difference?

Bungalows are not standalone cottages — they're rows of rooms with direct outdoor access. The key perk is a private terrace and no need to use stairs or corridors. If the hotel has a beach elevator, that's a major bonus worth factoring into your choice.

In dune or lagoon zones (found in some Makadi Bay resorts), you step out the door straight onto the grounds — it feels like a private home with a backyard lawn. Main building rooms have the typical hotel feel: hallways, elevators, and a more apartment-like atmosphere.
