Hurghada

Once a tiny fishing village, Hurghada is one of Egypt’s best-loved seaside resorts, a place with a well-cultivated offering of family-friendly accommodations and wide array of outdoorsy activities. It now attracts intrepid adventure travellers and relaxation-seekers alike, so make sure your Hurghada tour guide points you in the right direction. Most come in search of the Red Sea’s diving culture, which continues to expand further and further in the Gulf in order to offer scuba and free diving packages in the supremely beautiful, and hitherto uncharted waters away from the shore. But if diving isn’t your thing, then rest assured, Hurghada’s sandy beaches are buzzing most months of the year. This resort destination has all the amenities and services any traveller could require, along with a high-energy nightlife rivalling any of the Red Sea destinations on Egypt’s eastern shore. There’s also plenty of gastronomy to explore, and visitors won’t be disappointed by the eclectic line-up of both traditional and international cuisine. End your day sipping local drinks karkaday and chi, looking out at a glorious sunset.
