Hurghada, located on the stunning Red Sea coast, is a vibrant resort town that offers a delightful mix of relaxation, adventure, and cultural experiences. Here’s a breakdown of my visit: Accommodation I stayed at a beachfront resort that provided excellent amenities, including multiple pools and direct access to the beach. The staff was friendly and accommodating, making my stay comfortable. Beaches The beaches in Hurghada are beautiful, with soft sand and crystal-clear waters. Snorkeling and diving opportunities abound, with vibrant coral reefs and diverse marine life just a short boat ride away. I particularly enjoyed the excursion to Giftun Island, where the snorkeling was fantastic. Dining The local cuisine is a highlight, with numerous restaurants offering everything from traditional Egyptian dishes to international fare. I highly recommend trying fresh seafood and local specialties like koshari and molokhia. Activities Beyond the beach,Hurghada has plenty to offer. I took a desert safari that included a thrilling quad bike ride and a visit to a Bedouin village, which was a unique cultural experience. The nightlife is also lively, with many bars and clubs along the promenade. Culture and History While Hurghada is primarily a resort destination, it’s a short trip to historical sites like Luxor and the Valley of the Kings. I found a day trip to Luxor to be worthwhile, as it enriched my understanding of ancient Egyptian history. Overall Experience Hurghada is perfect for those seeking both relaxation and adventure. While it can get touristy, there are plenty of opportunities to immerse yourself in the local culture. I left with unforgettable memories and a desire to return. Tips - Visit in the shoulder season (April-May or September-October) for pleasant weather and fewer crowds. - Book activities in advance, especially popular excursions like snorkeling and desert safaris. Hurghada is a gem on the Red Sea, offering something for everyone—from sun-seekers to history buffs. #gowithtrip #yathra #hidengems #hurghada #egypt

💕'If you want to go fast, go alone, if you want to go far, go together', with the astonishing culinary skills of our companions, we stayed in Hurghada for 11 days and almost ate seafood for 11 days. It's not a dream to achieve seafood freedom at an average cost of thirty. 🌊This small seaside town on the Red Sea wins the favor of travelers with its high cost performance, such as: ✏Chasing dolphins & snorkeling at sea, 500 Egyptian pounds per person, including pick-up and lunch, chasing dolphins, two snorkeling, one sofa boat play project, the whole journey from eight or nine in the morning to three or four in the afternoon. ✏Yellow submarine, 200 Egyptian pounds per person, about two hours, similar to a glass boat to see fish, can also snorkel. ✏Submarine, a friend went, heard that there is only one in Egypt, so the price is firm. 1400 Egyptian pounds ✏Private beach, Hurghada is basically a paid beach, the ticket price is 50-150 Egyptian pounds unlimited time, including beach chairs, allow to bring drinks (we can) ✏Seafood market, the nearby mosque is a landmark building here, there is a paid processing in the market, of course, it is better to do it yourself, the cooking method here is indeed a bit wasteful of ingredients... Common fish 110 Egyptian pounds/kg Octopus 270 Egyptian pounds/kg Clams 80 Egyptian pounds/kg Small squid 160 Egyptian pounds/kg Dongxing grouper 200 Egyptian pounds/kg Eel 450 Egyptian pounds/kg Crab 40 Egyptian pounds Shrimp 290-310 Egyptian pounds/kg Scallops 80 Egyptian pounds/kg Lobster 450 Egyptian pounds/kg (three 270 Egyptian pounds look) *The above prices are for reference only in January 2024 📍tips: Hurghada can basically be divided into three areas, for the convenience of accommodation, it is recommended to stay near Marina, there are many choices of hotels, homestays and youth hostels. Gomla market for daily necessities and food shopping. City center has a Carrefour, a few clothing stores can be visited, nefertari has a booth, the price may be higher than Cairo, but the variety is complete.

This was our first time in Egypt, and we wanted a relaxing spot AND party vibes at the same time, and look no further, we found the perfect spot for all. Prior to Hurghada, we did a pretty intense excursion at all historical sites in Egypt, and we were about to jet off to Jordan for more, so we wanted the perfect balance of a relaxing time and parties. We did a lot of research and luckily we came to Hurghada, which provides endless food and drinks in all variety all day long; their beaches and lounge areas are out of this world, they also have a whole entertainment team to organize all sorts of parties and fun stuff. It was a splendid 4 days staying here at the Meraki, and I would absolutely come back here with a bigger crowd next time. #hurghada #Meraki #beachholidays #paradise #partycentral

#resortstyle #beachlife this is not the most luxury resort, but it located in the centre of Hurghada. there are restaurants, supermarkets and souvenir shops nearby! the price is relatively cheap around 25-50 euros a night! the room is huge and there is a private beach with sunbeds. overall, it is a quiet and nice resort! there is no food included. most of the time the place is pretty empty! I’ll recommend people go if you’re on a budget #beachlife

#resortstyle this is another beautiful and affordable resort where I stayed during my holidays in Egypt. the animation staff is very friendly and smart.the food was also pretty good, in comparison to other resorts, this one is located in the centre of the city, and easy to reach from anywhere! they also have different shows, such as fire shows and dancing show at night! overall it is a good place #beachlife

#triplocal Tropitel Sahl Hasheesh, is not recommended hotel at all it started with the check in process that took around 2.5 hours then they asked for 50 usd per person per night, while i booked a pre-paid non refundable and they refused to refund our booking so we were stuck to pay again. the staff is unfriendly at all food was horrible pool was small and too cold our booking was Hard all inclusive and they ask for extra charge for anything like pop corn on the pool and ice cream and snacks. no any social distancing at the restaurant the bakeries at the restaurant are not fresh at all The room size was big, clean, and location is good, it is the only pro for this hotel

I went to Hurghada to scuba dive in the Red Sea and it was worth the trip. The ocean was beautiful and the waters were teaming with undersea life! I stayed at a local all inclusive resort called The Sea Star. Everything you could want to eat or drink was available and it was all included in the price with no hidden fees. There were lots of activities at the resort and day trip to do other things around the resort. If you like scuba diving, snorkeling, or kite surfing I highly recommend taking a trip to Hurghada. #happynewyear #couplestrip #instagramworthydestinations #happynewyear
