You do not necessarily need to travel into Hurghada for a safari: travelers report arranging excursions directly from the Makadi Bay area, avoiding an extra trip into town.

Options connected with Sunrise are often considered noticeably more expensive. When comparing safaris, check whether the quote covers only the trip or also hotel-arranged service and transfers.

Makadi Bay can be more expensive than Hurghada overall, so going via the city is not automatically the costlier option. Compare the final safari price with and without hotel pickup.
