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

🌊Many people only know the Red Sea from the Exodus of Moses, but in the real world it has clear water, suitable for snorkeling and various water activities. Hurghada is a perfect holiday destination with thousands of tourists visiting it every year. 🌊The one-day itinerary for Children of the Sea is roughly like this: take a small motorboat out to sea in the morning, take a glass boat to explore the underwater world, return to the hotel for lunch and take a nap, do some snorkeling🤿, and then take a sailboat to watch the sunset. Perfect one day itinerary❤️ #EGYPT CHECK-IN ATTRACTIONS #Snorkeling #Sailboat #Beach

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

#resortstyle hurghada is known for diving and their resort style! Jasmine palace is one of my favourite resorts in hurghada. this place offers several swimming pools, shore diving, and the food is also really good! buffet style, and every single night there is performance and different shows! even for kids, there id a really nice kids club that your kids are able to go drawing and playing with other kids

#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

Go to the resort of the Hurghada in the Red Sea. The gulf in the desert ~ Hurghada has a breathtaking coral reef and crystal clear blue water, which has been developed over the past decade. It has become a famous holiday resort in Egypt and one of the most suitable diving areas in the world. It is also a paradise for water sports enthusiasts. Basically every island has some sea-and-water play projects, so the Red Sea certainly has it. If you are a thriller, then you will love the sea project in the Red Sea. A Clipper pulled the banana boat in front, pulled out a variety of drifting tails, and starred in a water headline D, and instantly felt that he was really hot. If you are not so adventurous, you can take pictures at the beach, take a bikini photo on the boat, enjoy the comfort of the sea breeze, and temporarily leave the troubles of life behind, quietly Feel the poetry and the distance at this moment. Recommend to you a hotel with a more cost-effective rating - Desert Rose Resort. It is located on the Red Sea, you can see the Red Sea in the room, the environment is beautiful, just like living in a large garden with sea view, and the staff is more enthusiastic, there is no asking for tips. The hotel has many facilities, including a water park, 3 swimming pools, and a beach. The area is large and the holiday is very comfortable. The three meals plus the restaurant and all the bars in the hotel have all the drinks and drinks, and the rooms are very clean. I don't want to go when I live. Its time to take a crazy photo in the pool!

Compared with Dahab, Hurghada is more expensive and hotels are relatively expensive. We found a nice hotel by the sea, with a large outdoor pool, air-conditioned rooms with a balcony and a diving centre, just a short walk from Hurghadas Red Sea beach. The restaurant offers international buffet cuisine and offers themed nights such as Italy and Egypt. The pool bar serves pizzas and sandwiches and offers exotic cocktails. People are less than 50 yuan. If you have a small accommodation partner, you can go and see, the external view is 5 points, and the internal facilities are 3 points.

Jump into the Red Sea, and in the summer it should be accompanied by sea fish, deep diving and snorkeling are not to be missed in the Red Sea.

In Egypt's diving resort - Hurghada, even if you don't dive, it doesn't matter. The island-hopping tour of three islands a day can still let you experience the beautiful world of the Red Sea. We signed up one day in advance at the travel agency. The next morning, the driver arrived at the hotel entrance to greet us. We took us to the pier more than ten kilometers away and followed the big forces to the cruise to the most beautiful beaches in the Red Sea. And snorkeling corals. blowing the sea breeze, looking at the horizon, less than half an hour to reach the first island, it has a name that everyone listens to - the paradise, the Chinese are kindly called Paradise Island. As soon as you arrive at Paradise Island, the white beaches are connected to the blue waters. This scene can only be found in the sky. The name of Paradise Island is really lining.

Like Dahab, Hurghada is a diving spot on the Red Sea. The only difference is that there are more Europeans here. Five-star hotels and expensive seafood restaurants abound, despite the fact that in this consuming environment, we have found a delicious and cheap seafood restaurant. On the street in the city center, you can recognize this restaurant at a glance. Its appearance is dressed as an underwater world, with several fish statues, and the thick stone door is pushed in. The design of the aquarium style was shocked and I thought I ran to the underwater world to eat. We have a special flavor in this ocean-style restaurant. We ordered the fish soup recommended by the store to be rich and mellow, and the fish meat was imported. It also added seafood platter rice, a price less than twenty. Give a perfect score. Compared to expensive European restaurants, the Aquarium is more local and more popular with locals. If you don't mind the atmosphere of the restaurant, it is right to eat here in Hurghada.

Brand new hotel. Some of the best properties in Hurgada. Must visit. And the best management. Hurgada all hasheesh
