About Hurghada

Hurghada är en semesterort vid Röda havet på Egyptens fastlandskust, omtyckt för korallrev, varmt vatten, ökenutflykter och enkla stranddagar.

Staden sträcker sig längs kusten, från den äldre stadsdelen El Dahar med sin souk och fiskmarknad till marinan vid Sakkala och resortremsan i söder. Utanför kusten kryllar Röda havets rev och öar av färgglada fiskar och korallträdgårdar, och ibland syns delfiner, vilket gör snorkling och dykning till de främsta dragplåstren.
