Is Hurghada warm enough for a New Year holiday, and can you swim in the sea in Makadi Bay?

From messages by 3 participants in 2 sources · Last activity: 7 days ago

TL;DR

Makadi Bay near Hurghada can be comfortable for swimming over New Year, but evenings get cool and darkness comes early. Choose a Makadi beachfront resort and pack an extra layer for after sunset.

What the community said

Makadi Bay is considered a comfortable area for a New Year break: swimming in the sea is possible and the water can still feel warm in winter.

In one price comparison, a 7-night New Year package for two to Hurghada was about RUB 20,000 more than a trip to Veliky Novgorod and Pskov. Compare the full inclusions when checking holiday packages.
