Founded in the early 20th century, Hurghada has gone on to become the foremost tourist resort of the Red Sea coast and on international center for aquatic sports. If it takes place in or on the water you can do it here: windsurfing, sailing, deep-sea fishing, swimming, but, above all, snorkeling and diving. The unique underwater gardens offshore are some of the finest in the world - justifiably famous among st divers.
Take a day-trip to Giftun Island for snorkeling and a fish barbecue, view the ocean through a glass-bottomed boat or in a submarine. When you're not in the sea you can shop in the boutiques, relax in the luxury holiday villages, visit the Aquarium or the Roman remains at nearby Gebel Abu Dukhan. Day-trips or safaris to explore the Red Sea Mountains by camel or jeep are also available. |
