A fishing village that woke up famous: 300 days of sunshine, water so clear the fish seem airborne, and pharaohs a day trip away. In Hurghada, 'beach day' usually involves dolphins.
Hurghada is Egypt's Red Sea playground, where coral reefs sit minutes from shore and the desert starts at the city's edge. Spend your days snorkeling Giftun Island, swimming alongside wild dolphins, or earning your PADI certification in some of the clearest water on the planet. Prefer to stay dry? Glide over the reef in a semi-submarine, ride into the dunes for a sunset safari, or make the day trip to Luxor's Valley of the Kings and even Cairo.
