Where is the nearest pharmacy in Makadi Bay, Hurghada?

There is also a pharmacy near the Serenity hotel in Makadi Bay.

There is a pharmacy on the second floor near the hotel reception area with a fountain; several pharmacies are also located to the left outside the hotel grounds.

Another nearby option: leave the hotel and walk right to the main road, cross it, and the pharmacy is immediately beside a vegetable stall.

For more reliable options, travelers recommend pharmacies in Old Town: one by a gas station, one near Mango Market, and a Russian pharmacy behind Albatros Aqua Park.

On-site hotel pharmacies are generally overpriced, but the pharmacy at Fort Arabesque hotel stands out as especially expensive — markups are so high that many travelers avoid buying there at all. Because of this, people often order medicines online with delivery straight to the hotel instead.

On that same side street past the police post there are two pharmacies next to each other — travelers suggest skipping the first one and going into the second. It's also worth walking further down these streets, where there's a good fruit stall and a few more pharmacies and small shops.

In late July 2026 a guest warned about the pharmacy on her hotel grounds: staff may cheat on the currency conversion. The price in local currency (shown in lira) is printed on the pack next to the expiry date, so check the exchange rate yourself. For food poisoning she was handed two blister packs of different drugs, but only one was relevant — the other turned out to be a deworming medicine. The advice is to check exactly what you are sold and not to hesitate to bargain.

Tip: if the printed price on medicine boxes is covered with a sticker, look for another pharmacy — it's a sign of overcharging.

The hotel pharmacy is part of the same chain as the one in Hurghada city center. If a medicine isn't in stock, you can request delivery, usually arriving by evening. Wide selection of medicines.

Walking route: from the hotel turn left, after 2 minutes reach a police post at a traffic circle, cross the road and walk down the perpendicular street — pharmacies for locals are located in residential buildings there. Check the price on the package right away, as it may be listed per strip rather than per full pack.

There's an Elezaby pharmacy across the road from the hotel, marked by a large billboard overhead. Staff speak Russian, prices are regulated and printed on packaging, some items have a QR code for price verification, and receipts are always given — it's a semi-state pharmacy chain.

There is a pharmacy directly across the road from Stella hotel — a convenient option near that hotel.

Be cautious with the on-site hotel pharmacy: one traveler was quoted a price about 10 times higher than at a regular pharmacy for the same medicine.

In July 2026 guests in Makadi mentioned a pharmacy in the shopping rows to the right of the hotel. Some asked anyone heading there to pick up the pharmacy's contact details, so that medicines could be reordered later without another trip off the hotel grounds.

A nearby option without going into the city is to walk along the seafront past Stella hotel, which is next after Royal. There is a pharmacy at Makadi Bazaar in that shopping area.

If you want a larger pharmacy with more selection, travelers recommend taking a taxi to Senzo Mall. You can also check with your hotel first, as some have an on-site pharmacy, though prices are usually marked up.

According to participants in July 2026, people go to Senzo Mall when they need to stock up on medicines in bulk; for something urgent you can use the hotel pharmacy, but it is even pricier. The Senzo pharmacy belongs to a chain with its own app, where you can compare prices and point out the listed price to staff (August 2026). In the evening the pharmacy is crowded with tourists; in September travelers suggested going in the midday heat, around noon, when it is least busy.

In September 2026 guests advised against buying medicines on a sightseeing tour that stops at a shop and a pharmacy: it is easier to buy what you need at pharmacies near your hotel. One pharmacy praised was opposite the new reception of Zahabia hotel. Another guest, replying to that advice, also praised the pharmacy: a calm, older pharmacist who does not push extra products, and prices lower than in the other pharmacies they had visited.
