The Red Sea Riviera/Sinai region
Egypt is a land of ancient civilizations and monumental historical sites. Its history spanning 7,000 years makes it probably one of the oldest vacation spots in the world. A mystical land bustling with life, sound and visual beauty, Egypt is not just the place for visiting pyramids, monuments and temples, but also a country that offers the perfect climate with brilliant sunshine all year round.
Hurghada known in Egypt as Ghardaga, was at one time just a simple fishing village. But now, with its crystal clear water, untouched reefs and a multitude of ship wrecks, it has become one of the best Egyptian tourist destinations. The offshore islands tempt the diver to discovery. Of course many other recreational activities are available. Temperature Throughout the year Hurghada has a warm and dry desert climate with a steady breeze. Summers are very hot - be sure to protect yourself against the sun. In winter the temperature lies between 20° - 25° Celsius and water temperature reaches 20° - 22° Celsius.
Other nearby islands and destinations include the Shadwan Island (Diving, snorkeling, fishing but no swimming), Shaab Abu Shiban (Diving, snorkeling and swimming), Shaab el-Erg (Diving, fishing and snorkeling), Umm Gammar Island (Diving and snorkeling), Shasb Saghir Umm Gammae (Diving), Careless Reef (Diving), Abu Ramada Island (Diving), Shaab Abu Ramada (Fishing), Dishet el-Dhaba (Beaches and swimming), Shaab Abu Hashish (Beaches, diving, snorkeling, swimming and fishing), Sharm el-Arab (Diving, swimming and fishing and Abu Minqar Island (Beaches and swimming).
Further inland lie the Desert Mountains, ideal for desert tours, safaris, quad biking and horse riding.
Hurghada / Intercontinental District
The small town centre with its bazaars, mosques and lively atmosphere reflects typical Egyptian life and Hurghada can satisfy the needs of every visitor, from scuba-diving to windsurfing to desert safaris. It is world renowned as a centre for some of the world's best diving and within a couple of hours from your apartment you can be amongst a group of islands that are the home to Dive Sites guaranteed to astound even the most experienced divers.
For non divers it is possible to take a short trip in which you can see the beautiful corals and the colourful fish of the red sea safely on board a small glass bottomed boat or nearby you can enjoy a delightful 20 to 45 minute trip in a small submarine that takes you below the water surface where you can enjoy the corals and the fish without getting yourself wet.
Also known for the extensive night-life, clubland giants Ministry of Sound Egypt and Hed Kandi Beach Bar both operate immensely successful parties 7 nights a week and the atmosphere in the two Papas Bars is completely exceptional! Both Papas Bar in the new Hurghada Marina, and Papas II (down town) offer regular live music, karaoke, sports and much more and by night, the rest of the city comes alive, as numerous tourists fill the various clubs, discos, and restaurants and begin to party.
With the esplanade on your door step, and nearby bowling alley, water park, beaches and many activities, added to a bustling vibrant nightlife, shopping opportunities and with the beauty and excitement of the red sea, Hurghada, offers the perfect holiday destination.
Most of all Hurghada offers sunshine and relaxation - all you could want for your holiday.
