Stretching over 36 km of golden coastline, the city offers a perfect mix of relaxation and adventure. Its crystal-clear waters, coral reefs, and warm year-round sunshine make it one of the top destinations for water sports enthusiasts and beach lovers alike.
Renowned as an international center for aquatic sports, Hurghada is a diver’s paradise. The city offers world-class facilities for windsurfing, sailing, kitesurfing, deep-sea fishing, and especially scuba diving and snorkeling.

Just off the coast, several islands such as Giftun Island and Mahmya Beach provide idyllic escapes surrounded by pristine reefs and turquoise lagoons.

For a unique experience, the Sinbad Submarine allows visitors to explore marine life 25 meters below the surface—no diving required.
Hurghada isn’t only about the sea—it’s also a gateway to Egypt’s stunning Eastern Desert. Visitors can join quad bike or 4x4 safaris to Bedouin villages, learn about desert traditions, and enjoy sunset barbecues under the stars. Back in town, the old quarters of Sakkala and Ad Dahar reveal the charm of traditional Egyptian markets and local culture, while modern Hurghada boasts luxury hotels, spas, and lively nightlife.
Whether you seek relaxation, adventure, or culture, Hurghada delivers it all.
