What to do

The El-Dahar area of downtown Hurghada is an assault on the senses. Shop for gold, copper, jewellery and amazing handicrafts in the colourful souks and bazaars. But be prepared to haggle over a glass of sweet mint tea. Tear yourself from the sunlounger and escape to the rugged wilderness on a 4x4 offroad desert jeep safari. Go quad biking, camel trekking, sunset trips and desert BBQs or sleep out under the stars in a geniune Bedouin camp. With a glorious marina lined with restaurants, an aqua park perfect for a family excursion and endless white sandy beaches Hurghada offers something for everyone. With many excursions daily to visit to Cairo, Luxor and the River Nile the opportunity is there for every visitor to experience everything this magical country has to offer.

Night Life

Anyone in the music scene already knows that Hurghada has become a world class beach party destination. Famous dance music label brand, Hed Kandi launched its first club this year, with foreign DJs fuelling round the clock, toe in the sand action in downtown Hurghada. Not far away is The Hard Rock Café, and Ministry of Sound Beach Club, throwing dance parties and theme nights all year round.

The Old Town has a good supply of bars for a more chilled vibe. Meanwhile the sophisticated clubs and discos are located in luxury hotels strung along the shorefront. Sample Egyptian entertainment, belly dancing nights and food from Pharaohs to Bedouins.
