About Hurghada

Hurghada er en badeby ved Rødehavet på Egypts fastlandskyst, elsket for korallrev, varmt vann, ørkenutflukter og enkle stranddager.

Byen strekker seg langs kysten, fra den eldre bydelen El Dahar med sin souk og fiskemarked til marinaen ved Sakkala og feriestedsstripen i sør. Utenfor kysten kryr Rødehavets rev og øyer av fargerike fisker og korallhager, og av og til sees delfiner, noe som gjør snorkling og dykking til hovedattraksjonene.
