Hurghada

Hurghada has grown from a small fishing village into Egypt's most popular beach resort, stretching 40 km along the Red Sea coast. The warm, clear waters — averaging 22–26°C year-round — provide outstanding conditions for diving and snorkelling, with spectacular coral reefs visible just offshore. Dozens of dive centres offer PADI courses and trips to celebrated sites including Giftun Island Marine Reserve, the wreck of the SS Thistlegorm, and the dolphin-rich waters of Sataya Reef. Beyond water sports, Hurghada has developed into a lively resort town with beach clubs, water parks, quad-biking in the eastern desert, and day trips to Luxor by coach or EgyptAir.
