Four Seasons Resort Sharm El Sheikh has doubled in size. What can you tell us about the expansion?
The multimillion-dollar expansion brings an unprecedented level of luxury to Egypt’s Red Sea shores. As part of this transformation, we are growing with an astonishing 115 new guest rooms and suites — with a choice of modern design or traditional Arabian décor — five authentic dining experiences and lavish event spaces for 1,000 guests.
Along a kilometer stretch of private beachfront, guests can look forward to enhanced recreational facilities, including three new outdoor swimming pools and a new PADI dive center that offers access to 76 world-class dive sites, together with a two-story fitness center and tennis and squash courts.
