Stretching some 22 miles along the shore of the Red Sea, Hurghada is a popular tourist destination for both European and native Egyptian holidaymakers. With superb beaches and excellent modern resort amenities, including great hotels, bars and restaurants, Hurghada is the ideal choice for families, groups of friends or romantic couples looking for something a bit different from their sunshine holiday.
You won't find any shortage of things to do in this attractive and sun soaked resort. You could try going out for a day’s cruise on a yacht or a glass bottomed boat, or could stay on the beach and participate in some great watersports such as snorkelling or scuba diving. After this, why not relax with a cocktail in the hotel bar?
Hurghada is home to around a quarter of a million people and is divided into three parts. Sakkala is where you’ll find most tourist hotels, El Korra Road is the most modern part, and Downtown or El Dahar is the Old Town. The latter area is where the city's largest bazaar is found, plus travel hubs such as the bus station.
The Hurghada International Airport serves Hurghada itself, and transfers to the resort are short. Flights are often extremely good value, especially when bought as part of an all inclusive deal which also includes your accommodation, food, drinks and organised entertainments in your hotel – including night time events and daytime beach games.
With so much on offer in terms of top quality hotels and resort facilities, plus year round hot weather and sunshine, holidays to Hurghada offer something for holidaymakers of all tastes and budgets.
