Heaven is in Hurghada

Red Sea Adventures in Hurghada

One of the main reasons people book cheap holidays in Hurghada is for the diving. From beginners to experienced divers, all levels are catered for. The coral reefs in the Red Sea abound with exotic marine life that can be enjoyed without even getting your feet wet from the comfort of glass-bottomed boats, mini-sub rides and state-of-the-art aquariums.

But for people who are eager to explore the reefs, pinnacles and shores around the Giftun Islands and Sha’ab Abu Nuhas, the warm clear waters in this area give way to treasures such as whale sharks and dolphins.

Divers can also catch sight of blue spotted rays, barracudas, lionfish, multi-coloured reef fish and rare coral, while brave adventurers can head down to the wreck of El Mina, which was bombed in Hurghada Bay in 1969, and which is now a treasure trove of sea urchins – you might even see a moray.

Sparkling Nightlife in Hurghada

The busiest time of year is between November and March when temperatures are in the more moderate 20s (compared with the scorching summer months when they can soar to the high 30s), but despite the cooler winter, Hurghada enjoys some of the highest number of annual sunshine hours in the world.

There’s a wide variety of different cuisines to try in Hurghada, and visitors can wander to El Dahar (Old Town) for a bit of retail therapy, or visit Sekala, which clusters around the old harbour and is home to many popular restaurants and nightclubs. El Gouna has a nice choice of bars and restaurants on the edge of its stately lagoons; but wherever you choose to go, be sure to try local delicacies including Egyptian-Lebanese, Arabic and Mediterranean cuisines.

Venture into the Desert with Hurghada Safari Excursions

If you can tear yourself away from the warm and sandy beaches, there are numerous desert safari excursions that allow you to take in the scenery from horseback, camel, quad bike or 4x4. Add an interesting cultural experience to your Egypt holiday and get to know a Bedouin tribe. Camp out under a blanket of stars and taste traditional Bedouin cuisine including desert-oven baked bread, cheese and herbal teas.
