Things to do in Hurghada
Our top experiences you won’t want to miss on your holiday.
Think of Egypt and pictures of pyramids, ancient tombstones and the river Nile probably spring to mind, but they don’t even scratch the surface on summing up the top experiences you can have whilst on holiday here.
Hurghada, located on the Red Sea Riviera, has long been a haven for water sports fans, especially due to the scuba diving and snorkelling opportunities. But it is rapidly developing into a firm favourite amongst couples and families looking for sunny climates and calm shores for the kids to paddle in.
As well as being the ideal place to top up your tan there are lots of things to do in Hurghada.
Escape out to the desert by jeep
An off-road jeep safari will take you across the beautiful Egyptian desert, where you will get the chance to ride a camel and watch the sunset over dinner. Be warned - it can get very hot, so take a hat and some water with you to keep hydrated on this memorable trip.
Visit Cairo for the day
This excursion can be done by bus, but to really get the most out of your day it is quicker to fly by plane to Cairo, allowing you more time to marvel at your surroundings as you get to see for yourself the Giza Pyramids and the Valley Temple to name just a couple of Cairo’s hidden gems.
Go swimming with the dolphins
For a more personal experience visit Dolphinella Hurghada, where you will get the chance to swim with some new friends. The dolphins swim with two people at a time and you will get around half an hour to spend with them, a truly wonderful experience.
Try your hand at haggling
There are bargains to be found everywhere in Hurghada and the best way to get yourself a good deal is by visiting the old town El Dahar, home to the largest bazaar for a variety of cottons, jewellery and leather. However, if bartering isn’t your thing, there are plenty of boutique shops at Senzo Mall, Hurghada.
A holiday in Hurghada has something for everyone from voyages through history to diving with the waterworld down amongst the coral reefs.
