About Hurghada

One of the Red Sea’s best-known resort cities and an ideal base for island trips, reef excursions and safaris into the Eastern Desert.

Hurghada stretches for dozens of kilometres along the coast, from the old El Dahar district to modern resorts further south. The variety of activities makes it suitable for families and groups of friends alike.

The Giftun islands are among the most popular day-trip destinations, with white beaches and reefs suited to snorkeling. For children and non-swimmers, glass-bottom boats show the reef without getting in the water.

On land, safaris head into the Eastern Desert and its mountains at sunset.

Highlights

  • The Giftun islands
  • The marina and promenade
  • El Dahar and the old market
  • Glass-bottom boat trips
  • Eastern Desert safaris
