we went to Abu Dabab bay 2 times in September 2015. it is only 10 minutes from the Kahramana Beach Resort 5 * hotel, go by the hotel bus, but for a fee -2 euros per person.
In September 2015, we rested at Kahramana Beach Resort 5 * in Mars Alam, Egypt. There are 3 hotels nearby (one with a water park, we went there for free, including Russian animation), there are shops and a pharmacy.
The weather is fabulous: +38 air (but not hot, very comfortable), and water +28 - just hot when you enter! Just super! The hotel is 4 *, but I did not notice much difference from 5 * (I was in the Regency Plaza 5 * in winter).
