What to do in Hurghada

The first glimpse of what is now known today as Hurghada was seen in 1909. It was a settlement for the British geologist that discovered oil reserves therein. For decades, Hurghada has done very well for itself with oil and fishing explorations. Today, it is the prime resort city in Egypt.

Hurghada is located along the Red Coast of Egypt and it stretches some 40km along the Red Coast governorate. The city has an elevation of 14 meters. The resort city is divided into El Ahia and El Helal (the northern part), El Dahar (the downtown), Sakala (city center), El Kawsar (the modern region), and El Mamsha (a village street of over 4km in length). 
 

This wonderful resort city is famed for its watersports, adventure sports, ancient antique buildings, boat trips, and local delicacies. Hurghada boasts spectacular scuba diving, snorkeling, and windsurfing experiences. Its famed quad biking and local hibiscus drink of Karkaday make Hurghada very appealing. Many also troop into Hurghada to see the Big Church of St. Mary, the port area, and the Big Hurghada Mosque.
