Hurghada Holidays

For those who love the ocean, Hurghada holidays are a diver’s dream. The Red Sea is world-renowned for its crystal-clear waters, vibrant coral reefs, and diverse marine life. Snorkelling is a fantastic way to experience the colourful coral gardens and swim alongside schools of exotic fish, playful dolphins, and even the occasional sea turtle if you are a beginner. However, there are plenty of opportunities and courses to explore this underwater paradise whether you're an experienced diver or a newbie. Hurghada is synonymous with stunning beaches and idyllic resorts. The coastline stretches for miles, dotted with luxurious resorts offering everything from all-inclusive packages to private villas with direct beach access. Many resorts feature their own private beaches, ensuring a tranquil and exclusive atmosphere where you can unwind and soak up the sun in style.

While Hurghada is a modern resort town, it's also a gateway to the ancient wonders of Egypt. The journey from Hurghada to Luxor is a scenic drive that takes you through desert landscapes and along the Nile River, offering a glimpse into the timeless beauty of Egypt’s countryside. Explore the Valley of the Kings, where the tombs of the pharaohs are hidden beneath the desert sands and visit the magnificent temples of Karnak and Luxor. For those seeking more desert adventure, embark on a quad biking or dune buggy through these vast, golden dunes, or experience the traditional way of life with a camel ride through the desert. For a truly memorable experience, take a sunset safari that includes a Bedouin dinner under the stars, where you can enjoy authentic Egyptian cuisine and traditional music while soaking in the serenity of the desert night.

Hurghada holidays are also ideal for families. Many resorts cater specifically to little ones, offering kids' clubs, entertainment programs, and child-friendly pools. The Hurghada Grand Aquarium is a popular attraction for children and adults alike, where you can learn about the marine life of the Red Sea and even walk through a tunnel surrounded by sharks and rays. The Makadi Water World, one of the largest water parks in Egypt, is another great spot for family fun, featuring a variety of slides, wave pools, and lazy rivers.

From the yummy breakfast dish Shakshuka and the family-favourite stew-like meal Fattah to Koshary, the carb-packed combination of macaroni, rice and beans flavoured with tomatoes and tangy sauce; there’s a whole world of food waiting to be tried on a Hurghada holiday. The Marina Boulevard is the place to be for couples and families alike, with its array of restaurants, bars, and cafes offering a mix of local and international cuisine. Enjoy a leisurely dinner with a view of the yachts in the marina, or for a more laid-back evening, take a stroll through the local bazaars, where you can indulge in authentic street food packed with aromatic spices.
