Do you want to finally shake off the fatigue accumulated over the winter from frosts, colds, and working days? Egypt is the perfect place for this! Sunny summer in early spring can get closer if you cheat a little and go on a tour to Egypt! On the golden beaches of this serene and mysterious country of sphinxes, the high season starts in spring: pleasant warmth and blissful relaxation await tourists. We invite you to opt for Hurghada. In addition to the year-round beach season, reasonable prices, and a short flight, we know at least seven more reasons to visit this famous Egyptian resort.
1. Enjoy the sea
Hurghada is famous for its mild climate, endless beaches with fine and clean sand, azure sea, and wonderful coral islands. A gentle entrance to the sea and a flat sandy bottom will be appreciated by families with children, older tourists, and just lovers of a relaxed beach holiday. And to admire the underwater world, you can go on an excursion to one of the many coral islands.
However, some hotels also have coral reefs with their colorful inhabitants. For example, pay attention to the closed resort region of Soma Bay, which is 40 km from Hurghada. Magnificent sandy beaches coexist here with the richest coral reefs. Resting at the Westin Soma Bay Golf Resort and Spa or Kempinski Hotel, you can fully enjoy the highest level of service and comfort and the diversity of nature.
2. Visit paradise
Yes, in Egypt it is possible! Paradise Island off the coast of Hurghada deserves its name. A trip on a comfortable yacht with a transparent bottom will allow you to admire the beauties of the underwater world, stops for swimming in the open sea will give you a kaleidoscope of vivid emotions, and staying on the island itself with its white sand and azure lagoons will become a real paradise. No wonder it is called the Egyptian Maldives. By the way, the tour operator Tez Tour on this island has its own separate recreation area with picturesque umbrellas made of palm leaves and soft comfortable poufs. So you know who to order excursions from!
3. Get out to the Marina
This area is one of the most pleasant places in Hurghada. A few years ago, the authorities restored a section of the embankment, and now the new part of the port has become a favorite place for tourists and local residents to walk. It is worth getting out here in the evening to dine with live music in a cozy restaurant overlooking the sea or wander through the numerous shops.
4. See dolphins
You can often see flocks of dolphins playing with their cubs near the El Fanous reef. Now it is no longer possible to swim close to the dolphins on a boat since the water area has been declared a nature reserve. But you can admire from the side of the boat, which is suitable for the maximum allowed distance. You can also see dolphins at the Dolphin World Dolphinarium, which, by the way, meets the latest requirements for keeping marine animals. Today this place is so popular that it is included in the mandatory sightseeing program.
5. Walk around Venice
In the neighborhood of Hurghada, there is an unusual resort area – El Gouna, which is called the “Egyptian Venice” here. Many islands, narrow channels, stone bridges, ornate buildings, and a whole fleet of yachts turned El Gouna into a copy of the famous Italian city. It’s definitely worth taking a tour here.
6. Learn new things
Hurghada is one of the best places to try surfing and kiting. Due to the constant wind and the absence of waves, windsurfing in Hurghada is possible all year round. Interested in golf? The Westin Soma Bay Golf Resort and Spa is just the perfect setting for this, with spectacular golf courses stretching all the way to the sea.
7. Sailing the Nile
The Nile Cruise is an exciting journey along the 300 km section of the river from Luxor to Aswan. It is most convenient to go on this excursion from Hurghada, ordering it from the tour operator Tez Tour. Traveling on a comfortable ship along the great African river, you will feel the flow of history and the greatness of ancient Egypt …
