TL;DR
Invidia is described as a solid option for a first family trip to Egypt, with renovations completed in 2025 but higher post-renovation rates. Note that the property has many stairs, although golf carts can be requested.

The main practical issue at Invidia is the number of stairs. Families with small children, older guests, and anyone with limited mobility should plan to request a golf cart.

Do not judge Egypt by one resort on a first visit: if Invidia is not the right fit, choose a different resort or hotel style on a future trip.

Inspect your room immediately on arrival at any Egyptian resort. Travelers cite Faraana Reef as an example where older and renovated rooms differed greatly; a room change once cost US$10 there, but this is historical experience, not a current rate.

Invidia is the former Tiran hotel. It underwent extensive renovations in 2025, including rooms, bedding, mattresses, pillows, restaurants, bars, and the gym; prices increased after the upgrade.
