City tour Hurghada

We will pick you up from your hotel in a comfortable, modern, air-conditioned car with a guide and begin the Hurghada City Tour. Over three hours, you’ll explore both the ancient and modern landmarks of Hurghada, including the old and new city, fish market, marina, souvenir shops, Al Mina Mosque, and Shenouda Cathedral.

Hurghada was founded in the early 20th century. For many decades it was a small fishing village, but it has grown into a major Red Sea resort as a result of Egyptian and foreign investment that began in the 1980s. Holiday resorts and hotels provide facilities for windsurfing, kitesurfing, yachting, scuba diving, and snorkeling. The city is known for its watersports, nightlife, and warm weather. 

Many of Hurghada’s newer hotels, restaurants, and shops are located along El Mamsha. Most of the newest and largest hotel resorts are located in the area between Mamsha and Sahl Hasheesh on El Mamsha. Beyond Sahl Hasheesh there are the hotels of Makade Bay. Dahar is the oldest part of the town where the town’s traditional bazaar, the post office, and the long-distance bus stations (Go Bus and Upper Egypt Bus) are situated. The busiest area is Sakala, the “city center” on Sheraton Road, where there are hotels, shops, and restaurants. 

The city is served by the Hurghada International Airport with scheduled passenger traffic connecting to Cairo and directly to several cities in Europe. A new terminal was opened in 2015 to accommodate increasing traffic
