Hurghada was once a sleepy fishing village but is now one of Egypt’s most popular resorts thanks to its sandy beaches and wild nightlife.

Lying between a sprawling desert and the Red Sea, the resort has the feel of a sun-drenched heaven. Holidays in Hurghada revolve around the sandy beach, one of the best spots for watersports on the Red Sea, diving and snorkelling in particular. Glass bottomed boat rides are extremely popular among families as a way of exploring the underwater beauty of the Red Sea.

Day trips can be made to the snorkelling paradise at Giften Island, one of the many uninhabited islands that lie just off the coast. Saharan Desert camel or jeep safaris are also a great way to spend the day away from the beach, while Cairo is a must visit.

Hurghada has a vibrant atmosphere away from the beach and the town is a buzzing example of typical Egyptian life. With a wide array of mouth-watering restaurants,  the resort is also known for its nightlife, with young people flocking to the famous beach parties. A feast of bars and nightlubs with famous DJs make clubbing holidays here very popular.
