Michael & Carol on Finding Their Place at Fort Arabesque
Some guests discover Fort Arabesque by chance. For Michael and Carol, the journey began with careful research.
When planning their 2024 holiday, they knew exactly what they wanted: a destination that offered privacy, comfort, and a sense of tranquility. After extensive searching and comparing options, one accommodation stood out above the rest — a Swim-Up Villa at Fort Arabesque.
"We decided that Egypt would be our holiday destination for 2024, after a lot of due diligence, we found exactly what we were looking for."
They booked a four-week stay in September 2024. Within days, they knew they had made the right choice.
"After spending a week at the hotel, we knew we had made the right decision."
What followed speaks for itself. Before their first stay had even ended, they had already booked two extended stays for 2025. Today, they are enjoying one of two long-stay visits planned for 2026.
A Sanctuary of Peace and Safety
At the heart of their experience is the atmosphere they have found at Fort Arabesque.
"We love the peace, tranquility, and safe environment."
For Michael and Carol, every visit offers the same reassuring feeling. There isn't one stay that stands above the others because, in their words:
"...they are all very special to us."
The Heart of Our Resort: The Staff
Much of that consistency comes from the people who make the resort what it is.
"Every single member of staff makes your stay better each visit. Nothing is too much trouble."
What continues to impress them is the personal attention they receive throughout their stays. From remembering their names to knowing their favorite choices, the team creates an experience that feels both professional and genuinely personal.
"All staff are friendly and professional."
Simple Pleasures and Familiar Rituals
Their days are often shaped by the simple pleasures that have become part of every Fort stay: peaceful mornings, relaxing afternoons by the villa, and memorable dining experiences. They particularly enjoy the atmosphere and attentive service at The Pavilion and Club 159, two venues that have become an important part of their Fort routine.
When asked what could be improved, their answer is remarkably straightforward.
"It's difficult to pinpoint areas of improvement, as currently we do not see any."
A Grateful Goodbye—Until Next Time
Of course, every stay eventually comes to an end.
"Regrets are always felt when having to leave the Fort, having enjoyed such wonderful times."
Yet those departures are softened by the knowledge that another visit is never far away. Spending an average of 56 nights each year at Fort Arabesque, they consider themselves fortunate to return so often to a place they have grown to value so highly.
Before concluding, Michael and Carol wanted to express their gratitude to the people who make each stay memorable.
"We would like to take this opportunity to thank all members of staff, and especially the Villas Manager, Najlaa, who makes our stay extra special."
After all, finding the perfect holiday destination is one thing.
Finding a place that keeps drawing you back year after year is something far rarer.
