This once sleepy fishing village now attracts tourists from all over the world. Blessed with beautiful beaches it is a hidden gem in Egypt's crown. The town has managed to retain all of its charm and has a really relaxing feel with bags of character.
Scuba diving is a popular pass time here and the Red Sea is packed with weird and wonderful fish and sea life. The Giftun Islands in particular are great for snorkelling but are also great for relaxation with beautiful long stretches of unspoilt beach.
Hurghada is also good for those looking for great places to eat out and for those who like their evenings to be lively. There are numerous restaurants serving up cuisines from all over the world as well as local specialities. There are plenty of bars and clubs to enjoy as well as large hotels which offer family friendly entertainment.
