About Hurghada

Hurgada, en el mar Rojo egipcio, seduce por sus arrecifes, sus aguas cálidas, las excursiones al desierto y sus días de playa sin complicaciones.

La ciudad se extiende a lo largo de la costa, desde el barrio más antiguo de El Dahar, con su zoco y su mercado de pescado, hasta la marina de Sakkala y la franja de resorts al sur. Mar adentro, los arrecifes y las islas del mar Rojo rebosan de peces de colores y jardines de coral, y a veces se ven delfines, lo que convierte el snorkel y el buceo en los principales atractivos.
