You arrive in Hurghada, this former fishing village transformed into a world-renowned beach destination. The Smart Club Ali Baba Palace welcomes you in Sahl Hasheesh, 18 km south, in a haven of tranquility where the crystalline waters of the Red Sea caress miles of immaculate white sand. Here, life pulses at the rhythm you choose: one of animation and discovery, or one of absolute relaxation. It is the paradise for families and couples seeking rejuvenation in the sun, without giving up the pleasures of dining and entertainment.

Arrival

You step through the doors of the Smart Club Ali Baba Palace and discover a spacious resort of 755 rooms spread across the grounds. The 13 km distance from Hurghada airport is covered without fatigue. At the 24/7 reception, you are welcomed with efficiency. Your room awaits: 33 to 35 m² of space where soothing tones dominate. Furnished terrace or balcony, air conditioning, flat-screen television, mini-refrigerator, courtesy tray with tea and coffee. Everything breathes order and cleanliness. You have a choice of several room configurations: classic Deluxe (with garden, pool or side-sea views), Promotion, Family, or Bunk Beds for children. Each room comfortably accommodates 2 to 5 people depending on type chosen.

Dining, all included

The culinary heart of the resort revolves around the recently renovated Ringo Tree restaurant. This is where generous breakfast, lunch and dinner buffets take place. Live cooking stations offer dishes prepared before your eyes, while culinary themes vary to avoid monotony. For an Italian interlude, Bella Italia delivers fresh pasta, pizza oven and Mediterranean buffet. Zomorodah immerses you in Egypt, Lebanon and Morocco with fresh-baked oriental breads, generous mezze and savory grilled meats. Seasame, on reservation, introduces you to Asian fusion: Indian, Chinese, Japanese specialties and quality sushi. Laguna Beach Restaurant, overlooking the sea, serves snacks by day and seafood by evening, with regular events like Sunday Beachfast breakfasts in summer or Tuesday Bedouin evenings. For beverages, the Lobby Bar offers local drinks, beers, wines, coffees and local spirits in air-conditioned indoor space. The Aqua Park Bar quenches thirst between water slides, while the Pool Bar dispenses refreshments, homemade ice cream and donuts, with fruit festival every Sunday. The 40 Thieves Disco Bar animates evenings until 23:00 included in your all-inclusive package. We invite you to verify the details of the all-inclusive offer directly with the establishment, as inclusions may vary by season and room type.

Days by the water

You descend directly to the resort's private sandy beach, dotted with sun loungers and parasols. Turquoise waters call to you: snorkeling or scuba diving available as an extra to explore seabeds among the world's finest. Two crystalline outdoor pools occupy the resort's center, flanked by a waterpark where splashes and children's laughter punctuate the day. The solarium offers tranquility and loungers. For the more dynamic, beach volleyball, mini-football, tennis courts (equipment against deposit), boules, darts, table tennis and mini-golf dot the afternoons. A modern fitness room completes the sports arsenal. Children aged 4 to 12 benefit from a mini-club with international playful activities, dedicated pool and outdoor play area. Daily entertainment programs throughout the day offer varied entertainment. Water activities such as snorkeling and scuba diving, as well as sailing boat outings, are available as extras.

Evening vibes

As night falls, the resort transforms. Concerts, shows and themed evenings from the entertainment program come alive, with live music animating terraces. The 40 Thieves Disco Bar becomes the beating heart of the party until 23:00, included in your package. For a more intimate atmosphere, the Morgana Café offers hookahs and drinks in a relaxing oriental ambiance, subject to extra charge. The Vitamin Bar delights juice lovers with freshly pressed homemade juices. The Egyptian night envelops the resort in its soft and starry magic.
