Nestled on the western shores of Egypt’s Red Sea Riviera, Hurghada is a vibrant beach resort town extending over 40 kilometers along the coast. As the Red Sea’s second-largest town, it’s celebrated for its scuba diving opportunities, courtesy of its stunning coral reefs. Once a quaint fishing village, Hurghada has transformed into an animated and welcoming resort while preserving its natural beauty and historical allure, ideal for those in pursuit of complete relaxation under the sun. The town enjoys minimal rainfall and average temperatures that climb to the high 30s in summer, complemented by warm sea temperatures throughout the year. North of Hurghada lies the historic district of El Dahar, characterized by its maze of narrow lanes, a Christian Coptic Church, traditional markets, and the local nightlife centered around authentic Egyptian coffee shops. The central area, Sekalla, is bustling with numerous restaurants, bars, and nightclubs, and is also known for the beautifully restored Mosque, the Old Harbour, and the adjacent new Marina, which features a curated selection of shops and fine dining options. To the south, El Memsha forms the main resort strip, where modern hotel developments line the coastal road, offering a contemporary twist to Hurghada’s resort experience.
