About Hurghada

Hurghada er en badeby ved Det Røde Hav på Egyptens fastlandskyst, elsket for koralrev, varmt vand, ørkenudflugter og nemme badedage.

Byen strækker sig langs kysten, fra det ældre kvarter El Dahar med sin souk og fiskemarked til marinaen ved Sakkala og resortstrimlen mod syd. Ud for kysten vrimler Det Røde Havs rev og øer med farverige fisk og koralhaver, og af og til ses delfiner, hvilket gør snorkling og dykning til de vigtigste attraktioner.
