Welcome to Hurghada, an exciting and vibrant
holiday destination located on the shores of
the Red Sea.

Attracting thousands of travellers from the UK and
Europe, Hurghada is now challenging Sharm el
Sheikh as THE most attractive and desirable
holiday and hotel destination in Egypt.

Once a small fishing village, Hurghada has
managed to retain its charm whilst at the same
time growing into an international playground for
visitors from all around the world.

The area is perfect for those seeking total
relaxation with Hurghada holidays famous for
basking in year round sunshine.

The more adventurous use Hurghada as a base for day trips to Luxor and Cairo, maybe taking advantage of the close proximity of the desert for a jeep safari.

But it's scuba diving that earns Hurghada rave reviews. Crystal clear waters teeming with spectacular wildlife rival anywhere else in the world for 'take your breath away' factor.

For those who don't want to dive, but want to experience the marine life, snorkelling trips are also readily available.

Hurghada Hotels

Hurghada Hotels are situated in a strip parallel to the beach and run for almost 20km, ranging from 5 star luxury accommodation to more simple and traditional Egyptian guesthouses.

Make sure you experience the local shops and bring yourself a souvenir home. The best buys in Hurghada are Papyrus or the traditional Egyptian 'shisha pipes'. And at just 5 hrs from the UK, Hurghada Holidays are just one short flight from paradise.

All about Hurghada

Hurghada was once just a tiny fishing village, and was not visited by anybody from outside of the local area. This was true as recently as the 1970s. However, once tourists discovered the clear blue water and great opportunities for diving, Hurghada quickly grew into a major tourist destination.

Today, the result is a stretch of 20 km with beach hotels. Most of these hotels are laid out along one major road, and all a short transfer from the international airport, to which it's easy to find cheap flights..

Hurghada Holidays and Hotels

Hurghada Egypt is a popular tourist resort for divers and those who just enjoy swimming. Egyptians, Saudis and other Arabs join the stream of Europeans and Americans coming here throughout most of the year.

Hurghada is in reality three main centres and numerous self-contained tourist villages now growing into one body. To the north, lies the place that is closest to being a town, Ad-Dahar, which has more than half of the total local population, and the the most price worthy hotels and restaurants.

Nearby
A couple of kilometres south, comes Sigala, a place that suffers from being between Ad-Dahar and New Hurghada a few kilometres more to the south. There are some hotels here, some restaurants, but relatively few tourists.
