About Hurghada

Hurghada, sul Mar Rosso in Egitto, è amata per barriere coralline, acque calde, escursioni nel deserto e facili giornate di spiaggia.

La città si allunga lungo la costa, dal quartiere più antico di El Dahar con il suo suq e il mercato del pesce fino al porticciolo di Sakkala e alla fascia di resort a sud. Al largo, le barriere coralline e le isole del Mar Rosso brulicano di pesci colorati e giardini di corallo, e talvolta si vedono delfini, il che rende snorkeling e immersioni le principali attrattive.
