Check in at Hotel Serenity Alma Heights, unpack and use the hotel’s all-inclusive facilities — pool, beach and kids’ activities are perfect to recover from travel.
A short stroll to the Dahar area to experience the local bazaar atmosphere and pick up small souvenirs; great opportunity to try street falafel (vegan-friendly).
Use the hotel buffet for dinner — ask the chef for vegan options such as hummus, grilled vegetables, salads and ful medames; the kitchen can usually prepare a fully vegan plate on request.
Full-day boat trip to Giftun Island for swimming and snorkelling on coral reefs — ideal for families and the 15‑year‑old; most trips include lunch (buffet) and snorkel equipment. Departure typically 8:00–9:00am and return by 3:00–4:00pm.
Stick with the all-inclusive dinner; request the hotel to make a vegan-friendly main (grilled veg, chickpea stew, salads). If you want to eat out, the Marina area has restaurants with vegan mezzes and grilled veg.
Afternoon quad-safari across the desert dunes with short stops for photos and a short camel ride; most packages include transfers, equipment, a Bedouin tea stop and sunset views. Good mix of adrenaline and local culture. Typical pick-up 2:30–3:00pm and return 7:00–8:00pm.
Short morning boat leaving the Marina (approx 9:00–12:00) for nearby reefs; perfect for a lighter sea day and suitable for non-divers. Many trips include snorkel gear and soft drinks.
If you want one night out, try a Marina restaurant that advertises vegan mezze (ask the hotel to book and confirm vegan menu). Always call ahead to ensure availability.
Visit the Hurghada Aquarium to see local Red Sea species, interactive displays and family-friendly exhibits — opening hours roughly 10:00–18:00; allow 1.5–2 hours.
Optional day at a nearby waterpark (Jungle Aqua Park) great for family fun or a relaxing spa day at the hotel for adults; waterpark typical open 10:00–17:00. This is optional and helps balance activity days.
Full-day organised excursion by private minivan or coach to Luxor (approx 3.5–4 hours each way). Visit Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple and the Valley of the Kings; tomb entry and guide fees usually included. Sites open 06:00–18:00, allow long but rewarding day.
Evening dhow or small-boat sunset cruise with soft drinks and light snacks — usually departs 17:00–18:00 and returns after sunset at 19:00–20:00; relaxing family-friendly activity.
Free day to revisit favourite spots, shop for souvenirs, or relax. Use hotel facilities, or book optional activities like a PADI trial dive (additional cost) if desired.
Cairo is possible as a day trip by early flight but it’s long and pricier — typical package includes return flight, transfers and guide to Giza Pyramids and Egyptian Museum. Expect long day (very early start, late return). If budget-conscious, choose Luxor (already included) instead.
