Accessibility

Who can join this

The hotel has paved paths, tiled floors and lifts serving most guest-room floors, but some garden and beach areas are reached over sand and uneven paving. Public areas including the lobby, main restaurant and main outdoor pool have step-free access; smaller bars and beachfront platforms may have single steps. Standard rooms vary in layout; a limited number of rooms have wider doorways and roll-in shower options, subject to availability. Wheelchair users should expect assistance for beach access, as there is no fixed beach mat or mechanical beach wheelchair at the property. As a licensed Egyptian tour operator, we can request specific room types or mobility aids in advance; please contact us with mobility details at least 7 days before arrival so we can confirm what the hotel can provide.

– Responsible travel

How we travel here

The hotel operates on mains electricity and municipal water, with on-site water treatment for pool use. Guest transfers and excursions we arrange typically use air-conditioned minibuses that meet local emissions standards; where available we partner with suppliers operating newer, Euro 5 or equivalent vehicles. The hotel purchases food and produce from local Hurghada suppliers and employs locally based staff for housekeeping, F&B and maintenance. We prioritize local hiring and pay agreed supplier rates to support the community. If you want a lower-impact transfer, tell us at booking and we will source vehicles with smaller CO2 footprints when possible. Details of supplier practices are available on request.

Asked & answered

Frequent questions

1. 01What does All Inclusive at Mercure Hurghada actually include?

   All Inclusive at Mercure Hurghada covers main meals, snacks and selected local drinks during the hotel's published service hours. Expect exclusions such as speciality restaurants, premium imported drinks, spa treatments and off‑site excursions. We confirm exact meal times, bar hours and any supplemented services at booking; standard hotel policies apply. As a licensed Egyptian tour operator we can arrange upgrades or pay-as-you-go extras if you prefer.
2. 02Are airport transfers from Hurghada International Airport included?

   Airport transfers are not automatically included; we can add private or shared transfers from Hurghada International Airport when you book. Transfer time varies with traffic and your flight schedule; we monitor flights for late arrivals. We don't assume transfers are included – we quote them separately to avoid surprise charges and can provide meet-and-greet and English‑speaking drivers on request.
3. 03Can you book snorkelling and diving trips from the hotel?

   Yes – we can book Red Sea snorkelling and diving trips departing from Hurghada through our local partners. Boat trips to sites such as Giftun Island and daily dive excursions are available; diving requires certification or an introductory (try-dive) arranged by a PADI/BSAC centre. We manage bookings, transfers and equipment rental; snorkelling off the hotel beach is possible but reef access usually requires a boat.
4. 04Is Mercure Hurghada suitable for families with young children?

   The hotel provides family rooms and pool access, making it suitable for many families; suitability depends on your children's ages and needs. We confirm availability of cots, extra beds, child-meal policies and any babysitting or kids‑club facilities at the time of booking. If you require child-specific equipment (steriliser, highchair, travel cot) tell us in advance and we will arrange or advise alternatives.
5. 05What payment methods are accepted at the hotel and can I use cards?

   Most Hurghada hotels accept major credit and debit cards and cash in Egyptian pounds (EGP), but policies vary by property. We confirm the hotel's current card acceptance, any foreign‑transaction surcharges and whether a security deposit is required on check‑in. For excursions and local vendors, small businesses often prefer cash; we can advise on where to change money or buy a local SIM.
6. 06What is the tipping etiquette at Mercure Hurghada?

   Tipping is discretionary but customary; small gratuities are standard for porters, housekeeping and restaurant staff. Typical practice is small notes or EGP coins for routine services; restaurant bills sometimes include a service charge, so check the bill before tipping extra. If you prefer, we can include suggested tipping totals or add a gratuity to transfer and excursion bookings handled by us.
