About Hurghada

Hurghada, estância do Mar Vermelho no Egito, é apreciada pelos recifes de coral, água quente, excursões no deserto e dias de praia descontraídos.

A cidade estende-se ao longo da costa, do bairro mais antigo de El Dahar, com o seu souk e mercado de peixe, à marina de Sakkala e à faixa de resorts a sul. Ao largo, os recifes e as ilhas do Mar Vermelho fervilham de peixes coloridos e jardins de coral, e por vezes avistam-se golfinhos, o que faz do snorkeling e do mergulho os principais atrativos.
