All About Hurghada

Hurghada is an internationally famous Red Sea destination popular with visitors from both Egypt and the rest of the world. Considerable development over the last decade has brought the city its own hospital, school, airport and golf courses, as well as many hotels and resorts, making it a highly desirable destination directly accessible from all parts of the world.

Hurghada has many jewels in its crown besides the obvious attractions of warm weather all year round, the rich variety of marine life and rare coral reefs that make it ideal for snorkelling and scuba diving. The abundance and variety of fish has made fishing extremely popular down here and exciting contests are annually held. There is no shortage of well-equipped marinas for harbouring boats and private yachts.

And when in Hurghada don’t miss out on a trip to the downtown area of Dahar with its authentic sights, sounds and street markets with their panoply of fascinating artefacts on offer.
