Where we'd actually go.
CIP Pearl Lounge
The CIP Pearl Lounge sits airside in Terminal 1 near gate 30 and has the widest membership access at HRG — both DragonPass and Priority Pass get you in, and it sells a paid day pass too. With a hot and cold buffet, Wi-Fi, a business corner and a children's area, it's the most flexible choice for most departures.
VIP Lounge
The VIP Lounge in Terminal 1 is the option for Star Alliance travellers — Star Alliance Gold members and business-class passengers on an eligible flight are welcome. It's the route in if you're flying a Star Alliance carrier out of Hurghada rather than carrying a lounge membership.
Pearl VIP Lounge Hrg Terminal
The Pearl VIP Lounge in Terminal 2, just past the first security check on the right, welcomes Priority Pass holders and pay-in guests. If you're departing from Terminal 2 and want to buy your way in without a membership, this is the lounge to head for.

How to get into lounges at HRG.
Hurghada is a membership-and-pay-in airport rather than an airline-lounge hub. DragonPass and Priority Pass between them open the Pearl lounges, the CIP Pearl Lounge in Terminal 1 also sells a paid day pass, and the Terminal 2 Pearl VIP Lounge takes walk-in guests. Star Alliance Gold and business-class passengers have a dedicated VIP Lounge. Always confirm which terminal your lounge is in before clearing security.
Priority Pass
Priority Pass is accepted at the CIP Pearl Lounge in Terminal 1 and the Pearl VIP Lounge in Terminal 2 — the broadest single membership for getting into a Hurghada lounge. Confirm the lounge matches your departure terminal before you go through security.
Priority PassDragonPass
DragonPass opens the CIP Pearl Lounge airside in Terminal 1, near gate 30. If you carry DragonPass, this is your route in on the Terminal 1 side at HRG.
DragonPassWalk-in day pass
The CIP Pearl Lounge in Terminal 1 sells a paid day pass, and the Pearl VIP Lounge in Terminal 2 welcomes pay-in guests, so you can buy your way in without any membership. Booking ahead online is usually cheaper than paying at the door.
Star Alliance status & business class
The VIP Lounge in Terminal 1 admits Star Alliance Gold members and business-class passengers on an eligible flight. Access here follows your ticket and frequent-flyer tier rather than a paid membership.

A business-class ticket on a Star Alliance carrier gets you into the Terminal 1 VIP Lounge directly — the simplest route if you're flying a premium cabin out of Hurghada with no membership needed.
