Hurghada Holidays

Holidaying in Hurghada immerses its visitors into a land of wonder and excitement...

This palm ridden town is tucked into the stunning Red Sea coast, with white sand shores that shelve gently into the turquoise sea and world-renowned coral reefs that offer an abundance of possibilities for diving and snorkelling. Venture the coast for coral gardens, reefs and World War 2 wrecks, where bright shoals of fish welcome your presence. Live it up in the marina or grab a glimpse of the rarest sea creatures, such as dugongs and dolphins, at the Dolphin House.

Despite being famed as a top diving destination, there’s something sensational for everyone. For an overdose of R&R there’s no better place to luxuriate than the idyllic beaches and the top-notch resort pools combined with some of Hurghada's best Spas. Thrill-seekers fascinate on safaris and venture through the rugged terrain of the desert with its panoramic views of the golden landscape, while history buffs have a ball with iconic landmarks such as the Karnak Temple Complex, Luxor Temple, and Valley of the Kings, all within easy reach. And if that’s not enough the Marina Boulevard screams shopping spree and is brimming with restaurants to satisfy any craving. Take a stroll down the bustling promenade and soak up the lively energy of the city, while enjoying the delicious aroma of street food wafting in the air.

And feel the magic of a cinematic sunset that leaves a lasting impression, before hitting the vibrant nightlife with its endless entertainment including plush eateries, nightclubs, bars, and casinos.
