About Hurghada

Hurghada, station de la mer Rouge sur la côte égyptienne, séduit par ses récifs, son eau chaude, ses excursions dans le désert et ses plages.

La ville s'étire le long du rivage, du vieux quartier d'El Dahar, avec son souk et son marché au poisson, à la marina de Sakkala et à la bande hôtelière au sud. Au large, les récifs et les îles de la mer Rouge regorgent de poissons colorés et de jardins de corail, et l'on aperçoit parfois des dauphins, ce qui fait de la plongée avec masque et de la plongée sous-marine les principaux attraits.
