Hurghada

Hurghada stretches for more than 40 kilometres of resorts and sandy beaches along the Red Sea, with sunshine on almost every day of the year — a perfect winter escape as much as a summer one. Beneath its clear water lies a whole world of coral reefs and vivid fish.

Its best-loved boat trip heads to Giftun Island and Orange Bay, with white sand, turquoise shallows and snorkelling over the reef. Adventurers can take a quad-bike safari into the Eastern Desert and a Bedouin dinner under the stars, while those who prefer polish will enjoy Hurghada Marina and nearby El Gouna.

We select all-inclusive resorts with pools, kids’ clubs and private beaches, coordinate domestic flights or a comfortable road transfer from Cairo, and add sea and desert excursions to suit you.
