Hurghada, one of the quieter towns of Egypt, offers visitors a chance to enjoy a beach holiday; for Hurghada is synonymous with pristine, white sanded beaches. The reefs just off the coast make for a diving paradise, while the water sports lovers will love the facilities for scuba diving, fishing, boating and canoeing that are available here.
Hurghada, unlike other Egypt tourist attractions, does not have many ancient ruins or artifacts. But as a tropical paradise, Hurghada is matchless. The entire stretch of the beach has hotels and beach resorts that cater to holidaymakers and sightseers.
The beaches are quiet, and not crowded like most beach resorts. Ideal for slinging a hammock and spending your time reading or watching the fleet of fishing vessels dock in the evening glow that lights the harbor!
