Medical care:

A lot of the hotels have a physician who can be phoned when needed. In hotel Hor Palace, Dr. Sameh has a consultation hour every evening. In urgent cases, he can be contacted via the reception of the hotel and he can go there where needed.

Hurghada has several hospitals. It is recommended to use private hospitals rather than the public ones. We can recommend the modern “Nile Hospital”, which is located on the Airport Road, tel. 0020-65-3550974. They have an ambulance and a 24-hours attendance.
