Red Sea Hurghada City Adventure

Hurghada, located on the scenic Red Sea coast of Egypt, is an adventurer's and beachgoer's paradise. Once a small fishing village, now this cosmopolitan resort city is one of Egypt's most sought-after tourist destinations. With its crystal water, colorful coral reefs, thrilling desert safaris, and lively marine life, Hurghada offers an ideal mix of relaxation and adrenaline-thumping fun. As a diver, a kite surfer, or simply someone who wants to experience the best of nature and culture, Hurghada has something out-of-the-world for everyone.

The Red Sea: A Diver's Dream Destination

The largest attraction for Hurghada is, of course, the Red Sea itself. Famed for its balmy waters and world-class visibility, this area houses some of the planet's most intriguing diving spots. Coral reefs cover kilometer after kilometer and are teeming with colorful sea life such as clownfish, lionfish, moray eels, and even reef sharks.

Popular dive spots such as Giftun Island, Abu Nuhas, and Fanadir Reef are ideal for both beginners and experienced divers. When you're not prepared for scuba diving, snorkeling tours are equally rewarding, introducing you to rich underwater kingdoms beneath the sea.

Hurghada Water Adventures

Apart from snorkeling and diving, Hurghada is also one of the most popular spots for every form of water sport. Kite surfing and windsurfing are the most popular sports, especially in areas like El Gouna, which has shallow waters and a constant wind pattern.

Jet skiting, banana boat rides, parasailing, and glass-bottom boat tours offer even more ways to see the Red Sea. If you are on a family holiday, most resorts have kids' and adults' safe and fun water sports.

Desert Safari Tours

Beyond the sea, the vast dunes of the desert that surround Hurghada provide thrilling adventures. Desert safari is a must-do experience and typically involves a 4x4 ride across the Eastern Desert, quad biking on sand flats, camel trekking, and Bedouin dinner under the night sky.

These excursions give you a chance to view Egypt's natural wonders from a whole new perspective and get closer to more of the old Bedouin traditions, including how they reside, cook their meals, and travel through the desert.

Dolphin Watching and Marine Parks

Hurghada is one of the few places in Egypt where wild dolphin swimming is a possibility. Dolphin House, a Red Sea marine sanctuary, is a popular spot for boat cruises. Here you have the possibility of snorkeling with a pod of dolphins in their natural habitat.

Hurghada Grand Aquarium is also a children-friendly attraction where you can see marine life close-up and learn about conservation efforts in the region.

Luxurious Resorts and Relaxation

Hurghada is not just for thrills. The city also features top-class and luxury tours spas and resorts that cater to visitors who merely wish to relax and recharge. All these resorts feature private beaches, all-inclusive accommodations, spa treatments, and dining with exquisite seascapes.

If you enjoy having cocktails by the pool or having a peaceful dawn yoga session on the beach, there are endless ways to relax.
