About Hurghada

Hurghada, Badeort am Roten Meer in Ägypten, ist beliebt für Korallenriffe, warmes Wasser, Wüstenausflüge und entspannte Strandtage.

Der Ort zieht sich am Ufer entlang, vom älteren Viertel El Dahar mit seinem Souk und Fischmarkt bis zur Marina von Sakkala und dem Hotelstreifen im Süden. Vor der Küste wimmeln die Riffe und Inseln des Roten Meeres von bunten Fischen und Korallengärten, und manchmal sind Delfine zu sehen, weshalb Schnorcheln und Tauchen die Hauptattraktionen sind.
