Abu Soma

On the shores of the Red Sea, where dazzling blue waters lap pristine white sands, lies the five star Intercontinental Abu Soma hotel, just a 40 minute transfer from Hurghada airport. Offering a vast array of activities on, off and below water, it's a superb Egyptian holiday destination. Watersports Where to start? The consistent cross-shore breezes and flat water at Abu Soma make this beach resort world class for watersports. There are windsurfing, sailing and kitesurfing tuition to all levels and provide a wide selection of dinghies and windsurfers. Waterskiing and wakeboarding are available on a pay as you ski basis, and there is a PADI scuba dive centre in the resort (courses pre-bookable in the UK). Tennis Coaching Newly built in 2008, Abu Soma now boasts three new hard painted courts. Racquets and balls are available to hire, and courts can be booked for play free of charge. Individual or group tennis lessons are available. Other Activities There are too many fascinating excursions to list, but The Intercontinental Abu Soma is perfectly located for a trip to Luxor, or a felluca ride across the Nile to the West Bank for a visit to the Valleys of the Kings and Queens.
