Information about Hurghada

If you want to enjoy the best time on the Red Sea, Hurghada is your destination. It is the largest tourist city on the Red Sea coast in the entire region and a preferred destination for both domestic and international tourist.

Being a very young city by Egyptian standards (founded only in the early 20th century) it was just a small fishing village until very recently. However, in the recent couple of decades it attracted numerous investors with its amazing scenery and abundance of natural beaches, and became the second largest Egyptian city located at the coast of the Red Sea.

The city of Hurghada may lack the main attractions associated with the country, which are the ancient landmarks. But it certainly makes it up with some of the most spectacular beaches in the world. The striking contrast between the nearly-white sands and the deep-blue water, abundant with flora and fauna, will certainly strike even the most experienced traveller.

The city stretches for over 20 miles along the coast and features all kinds of accommodations, from private houses to enormous hotel complexes and everything in-between. So if you’re looking for a great vacation at the sea, Hurghada is definitely the place to go!
