After exploring Egypt, soak up the sun on the beach at Hurghada where turquoise Red Sea waves meet golden shores for the ultimate Egyptian beach holiday.
Hurghada is Egypt’s sun-kissed coastal paradise, a blissful haven where turquoise Red Sea waves meet golden shores to deliver pure bliss for travellers craving escape. This vibrant beachside haven hums with underwater realms, upscale resorts, and effortless adventures that blend relaxation with the thrill of discovery.
Vivid coral gardens swarm with rainbow fish, turtles, and sharks, luring divers and snorkellers on boat jaunts from the bustling marina. Desert quad treks race over undulating dunes to Bedouin gatherings under star-strewn skies, while kitesurfing rides brisk winds and glass-bottom vessels reveal seafloor magic without a splash.
Waterfront promenades pulse with cafés dishing fresh grilled fish and fragrant floral teas amid the salty breeze, transforming every moment into effortless coastal reverie.
Hurghada’s history began as a modest fishing village founded around 1905 near a natural harbour on Egypt’s Red Sea coast, rooted in ancient settlements dating back to the 4th century Roman fort of Abu Sha’ar. Oil discovery in 1913 spurred brief growth, followed by King Farouk’s recreational retreats, but explosive transformation came in the 1980s with tourism booms that turned this once-sleepy outpost into a thriving resort haven of diving, beaches, and luxury amid coral reefs.
Hurghada is part of a wider selection of EGYPT holidays and accommodation.
