The indulgence is not only limited to adults, however, children are invited to be entertained at Rixos's activity-filled Rixy Club.

"Sharm El Sheikh's reputation as a dynamic and rapidly-expanding touristic destination was among the key attributes that prompted our presence in Egypt. The travel haven is internationally recognized, which in conjunction with the strength of the Rixos brand, will result in a fruitful symbiotic relationship, benefitting both Rixos and Sharm El Sheikh", said Basak Erel, Senior Vice President Brand Management at Rixos Hotels.
