Happening Hurghada
Newsflash: there is more to Egypt than the pyramids! Yes, much of the country is taken up by sand (and souvenir-sellers), but there is also Hurghada – a pleasure resort occupying 36km (22 miles) of Red Seashoreline and a favourite holiday spot for Europeans and Egyptians alike. ... Read more »
Hurghada has it all, from camel trekking and quad biking in the nearby desert to water sports and sunbaking on the coast. Coral reefs and underwater life can be viewed diving,snorkelling or in a submarine, so remember to look beneath the surface as Hurghada’s beauty is more than skin-deep. Away from the water, overly enthusiastic storekeepers make shopping a loud and lively experience, and it’s always a good idea to shop around for a bargain, with the largest bazaar situated at Dahar. With so much to see and do, Hurghada is one of those places you’ll keep coming back to.
