Hotels in Safaga

There are three areas to stay in Safaga. The old town has a handful of older, diver-oriented hotels. These are basic and relatively cheap, but for the most part lack beach facilities. Just to the north of town there is a line of older resort-style hotels, some of which have been spiffed up a bit in the last few years but are all still a bit musty and overpriced. Finally there is the Soma Bay compound a few kilometers farther north, which is more expensive, a lot nicer and, given that you can probably get a good package rate through your travel agent, better overall value for your fun-in-the-sun money.
