Have you ever wondered why we are called Fort Arabesque? It’s more than just a name—it’s a story, a meaning, a reflection of our essence. Each word carries the soul of this sanctuary: Fort symbolizes our fortress-inspired architecture, while Arabesque represents the intricate patterns that grace our windows and doors, embodying a timeless artistic tradition.
Our journey began in 1997 when the Presidential Group envisioned creating a paradise in the heart of Makadi Bay. With the Red Sea’s shimmering waters as a backdrop, they set out to craft a resort that would blend harmoniously with its surroundings.
What emerged was more than just a retreat; it became a sanctuary. Over the years, Fort Arabesque has welcomed travelers from all walks of life. Families found joy in its warm embrace, couples created timeless memories, adventure seekers explored its vibrant underwater world, and luxury enthusiasts indulged in unparalleled comfort.
Imagine vast sandy beaches kissed by crystal-clear waters, coral reefs teeming with life, and sunsets that paint the sky in golden and crimson hues. This is Fort Arabesque—a dream realized for beach lovers and diving aficionados alike.
But our story extends beyond natural beauty; it’s about an experience. From world-class spas to opulent luxury villas, every detail is designed to indulge. Our award-winning Idive diving center, certified as a PADI Eco Center in 2024, reflects our commitment to sustainability. Meanwhile, guests savor exquisite culinary creations in our diverse restaurants, where every meal is a celebration of flavors.
For nearly three decades, Fort Arabesque has seamlessly woven modern luxury with history and cultural authenticity. It stands as a beacon of excellence in the Red Sea’s hospitality scene—an icon of Egyptian warmth and elegance.
Yet, our journey doesn’t end here. Beyond the shores of Makadi Bay, the Presidential Group has expanded its legacy, establishing two distinguished hotels in Cairo’s prestigious Zamalek district and five enchanting Nile cruises that glide through Luxor and Aswan, offering guests unforgettable glimpses of Egypt’s ancient wonders.
As we celebrate 28 years of crafting cherished memories, we look ahead to the future—writing new chapters while staying true to our heritage.
Fort Arabesque isn’t just a place; it’s a story told, a dream fulfilled, and a promise of many more tales yet to unfold.
