Design your day before choosing your layout
Picture a full day in your Hurghada apartment. Where do you put your suitcase? Can one person prepare breakfast while another sleeps? Where would you sit with a laptop, dry a towel or enjoy a quiet coffee? These modest questions reveal more about a layout than an impressive total area alone.
Make two lists: activities the home must support and compromises you would accept. A couple staying for a short break may enjoy an open studio, while different sleeping schedules can make a separate bedroom valuable. A sofa bed only helps if the living room still functions when it is open.
Browse the current Hurghada project collection with that routine in mind. Request two genuinely different layouts within your budget and compare how each handles the same day. You are choosing a place to live, even when you will use it for only a few weeks at a time.
Understand what a separate bedroom changes
A studio can feel calm and generous when circulation is simple and storage is well planned. A one-bedroom apartment can offer useful privacy, but a label alone does not guarantee a comfortable living area. Compare the actual arrangement, including doors, windows and furniture clearance.
| Daily priority | Studio question | One-bedroom question |
|---|---|---|
| Sleeping | Can the bed remain ready all day? | Can the bedroom hold your preferred bed? |
| Privacy | Would one shared space suit your routine? | Does the bedroom door provide useful separation? |
| Guests | What changes when a guest stays? | Can guests use the bathroom without crossing the bedroom? |
| Storage | Is there room beyond the wardrobe? | Are storage areas practical in both rooms? |
| Working | Can a desk stay in place? | Can two activities happen independently? |
Choose the layout whose answers match your household. Paying for an additional room makes sense when that separation improves the way you will use the home.

Ask what the advertised area includes
Before comparing prices by square metre, ask how each apartment’s advertised area is measured. Request the stated total alongside room dimensions and a clear description of any balcony or other area included in that figure. Use the same measurement basis for both properties before drawing a value conclusion.
Then read the plan with furniture in place. A narrow wall may not accept the wardrobe you want. A dining table needs space for chairs to move. A bathroom door that opens into a key circulation route deserves attention. These details are difficult to assess from a decorative render.
The AMarina Blue project page provides a starting point for requesting plans. Ask specifically for the drawing of the apartment being offered, its revision date and dimensioned rooms. A floor-level overview helps locate the apartment within the building; your decision also needs the detail inside its own walls, including structural elements and service locations.
Read the windows, balcony and surroundings
A balcony earns its place in your decision when you can imagine using it comfortably. Request its dimensions and check the door arrangement, privacy, space for seating and relationship to neighbouring apartments. Ask which elements shown in images are supplied and which simply illustrate a lifestyle.
Trace the windows on the plan. Consider where daylight will reach the rooms and what sits outside each opening. For a completed apartment, a viewing can help you assess light and surrounding activity. For an apartment under construction, request its exact position, orientation and the relevant approved drawings.
Use the same approach when comparing AMarina Soul apartments or another shortlisted project. A description such as pool view is the beginning of a conversation: ask about the viewing angle from your floor and the areas around the building. Decide which qualities matter every day, including privacy and a pleasant place to sit, alongside the outlook that first attracted you.

Turn your favourite plan into a clear brief
Score your final two layouts against five personal priorities, giving the most important one extra weight. For example, bedroom privacy may matter more than a large balcony, while another buyer may make outdoor seating the deciding factor. Write a short reason for every score so the comparison reflects your preferences rather than the presentation of the listing.
Before reserving, connect the apartment plan to the documents describing the purchase. Confirm the agreed layout, area description and specification with your independent adviser. The UK government’s general overseas property guidance recommends independent legal advice; local documentation needs a qualified local review.
Then request a floor-plan comparison from Hurghadians Property. Include your usual number of occupants, length of stays, need for a workspace and preferred furniture. A precise brief helps your adviser select apartments that suit your actual routine and explain the trade-offs before you arrange viewings.
