Do cafes and restaurants in Hurghada have indoor air-conditioned seating?

New tables were added this year on the left side of the venue, but they sit in direct sunlight — in summer the furniture gets so hot it's impossible to sit on. The older umbrella-shaded spots offer some relief, but strangers may join your table if there are free chairs.

The venue has an indoor air-conditioned lounge area (referred to as a 'posh lounge'), which is far more comfortable than the noisy main buffet hall where chairs scraping on the floor create a constant unpleasant sound.

Always ask in advance whether a cafe has indoor air-conditioned seating. Umbrella-shaded outdoor tables are a partial solution, but in peak summer heat they offer little relief, and any unshaded outdoor tables are essentially unusable during the day.
