1. Sandy beach, convenient entry into the sea;
2. Optimal location in relation to Luxor;
3. Proximity to urban infrastructure with promenades, shopping centers.
Thank you in advance.

Luxor is naturally closer from Hurghada, more budget than 5 * but decent hotels Bel Air Azur 4 *, Arabia Azur 4 *, Arabella Azur 4 * are good fours, they are located between the old and new cities, to the right of the exit from the hotel about five minutes walk to the old city where fruits are cheaper than in the center, 5 minutes to the Sheraton by minibus, good beaches near a reef with fish, which is rare for Hurghada. If you are on a budget, then look at Zahabia Village 3, the hotel is located on the second line, next to the Albatross, a good sandy beach (5-7 minutes walk).
Excursion to Luxor is designed for the whole day, leaving early in the morning (at 6 o'clock if I'm not mistaken, I went 5 years ago) you will return by 21:00-21:30.
We took Cairo + Alexandria to the pyramids. The tour is designed for two days, less tiring and more interesting. I don’t know if they are taking these excursions at the moment due to the unstable situation or not.

Please, it’s better to take excursions from local companies, the service is the same but the prices are cheaper, I’ll send you a personal message from the company’s website, have a good rest.

And yet, I would advise you to Hurghada Desert Rose Hotel - I have been there several times and am very satisfied.

Diana, thanks for the advice, I will consider this hotel too. Tell me more, where is it more profitable to change dollars for lira? And does it make sense to do this, because last time I remember everywhere they accepted dollars for payment?

Dollars for pounds)) it is better to change in the city, there are enough banks and exchange offices at the Sheraton. Take small ones by taxi and change them there, at the airport and the hotel the rate is low, merchants also take dollars, but the rate is rounded down, it is more profitable to pay in pounds.

Did I understand correctly that the price tags are in pounds, if you pay in dollars, then the merchants round down? And another question, what kind of chain supermarkets like METRO, Spiness, Carifar are there in Hurghada nearby?

Yes, that's right, the prices are in pounds, if you pay in dollars, you overpay, you must bargain in the shops, the real price of the goods is 50% of what they said. Hurghada has Senzo Mall, a new shopping and entertainment complex in Hurghada, open daily from 10 am to 1 am. Supermarket, shops, cafes, restaurants, cinemas, banks and much more, I'll send the link in a personal.
