A story of beauty, serenity, and the art of hospitality.
ABOUT US
Where the Red Sea Touches the Soul
Perched on the golden sands of Makadi Bay, Fort Arabesque is more than a resort — it is a place where the Red Sea’s beauty becomes part of your story. Here, coral reefs thrive just beyond the shore, gardens bloom in every season, and the warmth of Egyptian hospitality greets each sunrise. Our name tells its tale. “Fort” reflects the strength and grace of our fortress-inspired design, while “Arabesque” honors the timeless artistry etched into our doors and windows. Together, they embody a spirit of authenticity, elegance, and belonging. Since opening in 1997, Fort Arabesque has welcomed travelers from around the world not simply as guests, but as part of our extended family. Many return year after year, drawn by the sense of home they find here — a rare blend of familiarity, beauty, and discovery.
