Golden beaches and vibrant reefs with a lively resort atmosphere.
Once a tiny fishing village, Hurghada has grown into Egypt's largest Red Sea resort town, stretching over 40 kilometers along the coast. It serves as the gateway to the stunning Giftun Islands and some of the best diving reefs in the world.
The Marina Boulevard is the heart of modern Hurghada, lined with cafes, restaurants, and shops. The old town, El Dahar, offers a more authentic Egyptian experience with its bustling bazaars and local eateries.
Hurghada is also the departure point for the famous Sindbad Submarine, which takes visitors 22 meters below the surface to observe marine life without getting wet. Desert star-gazing trips into the Eastern Desert are equally magical.
