Jaz Elite Amara

Stylish, contemporary accommodation is spread across the resort, with around 272 rooms and suites finished in a calm, modern palette. Many enjoy sea or pool views, while others look over the gardens, and rooms typically feature air conditioning, a seating area, a flat-screen satellite television, a safe, a private bathroom with shower and a balcony or terrace.

• Superior Rooms offer comfortable, well-appointed accommodation with a choice of garden, pool or sea-facing outlooks.
• Deluxe Rooms provide additional space and elevated finishes, again with various views available.
• Swim-up Rooms are available in Superior and Deluxe categories, with direct access from the terrace into a shared swim-up pool, a relaxed touch much loved on this coast.
• Suites, including a Royal Suite with sea views, give extra living space for those who would like more room to unwind.

Exact room dimensions are not published consistently across sources, so we would be glad to confirm sizes and the latest layouts for any category at the time of booking.

The resort is generous with space to relax, with seven outdoor swimming pools set among the gardens and terraces, including a pool with a swim-up bar. At least one pool is heated for cooler months, though heating arrangements can vary by season, so we can confirm which pools are heated for your travel dates.

A private beach fronts Marsa Mubarak Bay, with sun loungers, direct sea access and a jetty leading out over the house reef, ideal for snorkelling straight from the shore.

• Spa and wellness: a tranquil spa offers a range of massages and treatments, with a sauna, steam room and jacuzzi. Treatments and certain wellness facilities are available at an extra charge.
• Fitness: a gym and a programme of fitness and dance classes.
• Diving and watersports: an on-site dive centre arranges courses and excursions, and watersports such as windsurfing and water-skiing are available. Diving and motorised watersports are offered at an extra charge rather than as part of the board.

Evening entertainment and live music round out the days for those who would like it, while the bay’s calm setting keeps the overall atmosphere relaxed.

JAZ Elite Amara sits on Marsa Mubarak Bay on the Al Qusseir coast road, around 5 km from Port Ghalib and its marina, with the Madinat Coraya area roughly 12 km away. Marsa Alam International Airport (RMF) is close at hand, generally a 10 to 20 minute drive, which makes for a short and easy transfer on arrival.

This stretch of the southern Red Sea is renowned for its marine life. The resort’s own house reef at Marsa Mubarak is known for green turtles and the gentle dugong, or sea cow, that graze on the bay’s seagrass meadows. Within reach lie some of Egypt’s most celebrated sites: Abu Dabbab, famous for turtles and dugongs; the dramatic drop-offs of Elphinstone Reef, a favourite of experienced divers; and Sha’ab Samadai, the Dolphin House, where spinner dolphins are regularly seen. Diving and snorkelling trips are arranged locally and offered at an extra charge.

Many guests pair a relaxing stay on the Red Sea with a Nile cruise to see Egypt’s great temples and tombs. We can combine your beach time with a cruise aboard Classic Holidays’ own ships, the MS Royal Princess or Classic Blue Shadow IV, for a memorable beach-and-Nile holiday.

Dining is built around the all-inclusive board, anchored by a main buffet restaurant serving international and Egyptian dishes across breakfast, lunch and dinner, with live cooking stations and a regularly changing spread.

For a change of scene, the resort also offers speciality dining, including TaoTao, an Asian and sushi a la carte restaurant. A la carte and speciality venues may carry a supplement or require advance reservation rather than forming part of the standard all-inclusive board, so we recommend checking what is included on your chosen package.

• Main buffet restaurant for varied international and local cuisine.
• TaoTao, an Asian and sushi restaurant serving a la carte.
• Beach and pool bars, including a swim-up bar, for drinks and lighter bites through the day.

Selected drinks are included under the all-inclusive board. Premium brands, certain speciality items and any a la carte dining may be available at an extra charge, and we are happy to confirm the exact terms for your booking.
