About the City

Hurghada: The Red Sea Riviera

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.

Practical Tips for Visitors

๐Ÿš‡ Getting Around

Hurghada International Airport is just 5 km from the city center. Taxis and Uber are readily available. Many resorts offer airport transfers. The local microbuses are cheap but crowded.

๐Ÿฝ๏ธ Food & Dining

The seafood at the Marina is excellent but tourist-priced. For authentic local food, head to El Dahar. Try sayadeya (fish with rice) and fresh mango juice from street vendors.

๐Ÿ’ฐ Money Matters

The Egyptian Pound (EGP) is the local currency. Credit cards are accepted at most hotels and restaurants. Carry cash for bazaars and tips. Bargaining is expected in markets.
