What is Nunia Aquarena, and exactly where is it located?
Nunia Aquarena is the new water park opened in the resort town of Makadi Bay, south of Hurghada - one of the most extensive water complexes in the region, with 55 attractions and a water heating system that runs year-round.
Winter or early spring holidays on the Red Sea have always come with a small trade-off: plenty of sunshine, pleasant air temperatures, but unheated pool water that can be too cold for young children. The opening of Nunia Aquarena solves exactly this classic problem, with the park's pools, slides, and lazy river all heated consistently.
Makadi Bay has long been one of the calmest and most sheltered resort areas on the Hurghada coastline - away from the city bustle, with hotels set on spacious grounds and their own private beaches. In winter, the bay is better protected from strong winds than other parts of the coast, making it a natural choice for a water park that operates actively all year.
Fun & Games
What attractions can you find at Nunia Aquarena?
The park offers 55 water attractions: fast, adrenaline-pumping slides, family slides, play areas for young children, pools of varying depths, and a heated 500-metre lazy river.
Adrenaline Slides
Fast, high-speed slides for those chasing an extra thrill.
Family Slides
Multi-person slides, designed to be enjoyed together as a family.
Heated Lazy River (500m)
A relaxing float along the fully heated artificial river, running the length of the park.
Zones for Young Children
Mini slides, water cannons, fountains, and interactive attractions, all fully safe.
Besides the water areas, the complex has bars, cafes, and relaxation zones with sun loungers and shade available all day - enough to make a visit to Nunia Aquarena an easy full replacement for a beach day.
Thermal Comfort
Is the water really heated all year at Nunia Aquarena?
Yes - water heating is the complex's main new feature: the pools and the 500m lazy river are heated consistently, not just during the winter months, which is unusual for water parks in the region.
Most tourists who choose North Africa between December and February are escaping the European cold, and finding a hotel with a heated water park in Egypt often becomes the main selection criterion. The reason is simple: unheated water in classic pools can be uncomfortable for children, even when the air stays pleasant.
Nunia Aquarena changes that equation: unlike most complexes in the area, where typically only 1-2 pools are thermostatically controlled, here the heating covers both the pools and the lazy river, running non-stop throughout the year. We don't yet have an officially confirmed exact temperature, so we recommend checking with an Admiral.Travel agent before booking, especially if you're travelling with a baby.

What do Admiral.Travel's specialists say?
Admiral.Travel's representatives confirm that the opening of Nunia Aquarena has raised the bar for family tourism in Makadi Bay. Worth knowing: on days with stronger winds off the Red Sea, the walk from the slide to your towel can still feel a bit chilly, even with heated water - we recommend bringing a bathrobe from your hotel.
