Hurghada sits on Egypt's Red Sea coast about 450 km southeast of Cairo, and over the past three decades it has grown from a small fishing village into one of the country's most popular beach and diving destinations. The city stretches roughly 35 km along the shoreline, split between the older El Dahar district in the north, the hotel-lined Sekalla neighbourhood in the centre, and the purpose-built resort strip of Al Ahyaa and Sahl Hasheesh to the south.
The Red Sea around Hurghada is famous for its clarity - visibility regularly exceeds 20 metres - and its coral reefs support hundreds of fish species. Divers come for world-class wreck sites at Abu Nuhas and Thistlegorm, while snorkellers head to Giftun Island National Park just offshore. On land, the Eastern Desert offers quad-bike excursions, Bedouin camp dinners, and stargazing far from any light pollution.
Hurghada enjoys year-round sunshine with summer highs around 38 °C and pleasant winter days of 22-24 °C. The city is well connected by Hurghada International Airport (HRG) with direct flights from most major European hubs, and a growing number of restaurants, cafes, and shops along the Marina Boulevard give visitors plenty to do between dives and beach days.
