Where to Stay in Port Sudan & Nearshore

Accommodation in Port Sudan ranges from basic guesthouses near the harbour to mid-range hotels catering primarily to business travellers and dive groups. The Coral Port Sudan Hotel and Red Sea Palace Hotel offer air-conditioned rooms with harbour views and are the most popular choices for divers embarking or disembarking liveaboards. Budget travellers can find simple but clean rooms at the Harbour View Guesthouse. Many divers spend just one or two nights in Port Sudan before boarding their liveaboard, but those extending their stay for nearshore diving should budget three to five nights. The hotels are basic by international standards but functional, and the warm Sudanese hospitality compensates for limited luxury.
