. HURGHADA
Hurghada is not just a beach city, it’s the beating heart of the Red Sea.

It started 100 years ago as a small fishing village, now it’s a 40km long strip of resorts.

The vibe here is active and touristic – you wake up early for a boat, you dive, you come back for sunset at the Marina.

. What makes it special is variety.

You have Giftun Island National Park – you take a yacht at 8am, you stop twice for snorkeling on coral reefs full of fish, then you land on a white sand island that looks exactly like the Maldives. On the other side you have the desert – Super Safari. You ride quad bikes, buggies, you go to a Bedouin village, drink Bedouin tea, ride a camel, and watch the sunset over the mountains.

In the city itself: El Dahar is the old soul – bazaars, cheap local restaurants, El Mina Mosque.

Sakkala is the middle – shops and cafes. El Mamsha and Marina is the new luxury side – promenade, international restaurants, yachts, clubs.

Also don’t miss Hurghada Grand Aquarium – it’s huge, with a shark tunnel, rainforest section, and even a small zoo and Bedouin museum.
