What is the pool situation in Red Sea, Egypt?
The Red Sea is one of the few destinations where the pool competes with the beach for guests, because the beach here happens to be a world-class snorkelling reef. The typical guest cycles between deck, reef and buffet, so lounger absences are long and predictable. This is exactly the case where 'towel on the sunbed, gone snorkelling for two hours' has caused the loudest complaints, and where an arrival-window system produces the biggest visible change.
Questions guests ask about Red Sea, Egypt
Is the Red Sea a year-round pool destination?
short answer
Effectively yes, though July and August are hot and quieter. Peak European traffic runs September through May.
Why is towel-hogging especially bad on the Red Sea?
short answer
Guests leave the pool for hours at a time to snorkel, which makes traditional first-come reservation of loungers with a towel especially disruptive.
How large are Red Sea resort pools?
short answer
Large: 200 to 500 loungers is normal, often spread across a main pool, a quiet pool and a family pool.
