Hurghada is rapidly becoming the newest and most sought-after destination in Egypt. That is saying something given its location on the Red Sea Riviera has been designated a growth and investment zone by the Egyptian government as they recognise it as the fastest growing tourist destination in the country.
Hurghada has been expanding since the 1980s, but the current growth in tourism has increased the need for rental property as centrally located resorts can have an occupancy rate as high as 90% year round. This is because it's a popular destination with holidaymakers from around the world but particularly with Europeans and Russians, but also with Egyptians.
Although the major attraction of Hurghada is of course the sea and the unlimited opportunity for water-sports. It's also becoming well-known as a luxury resort that offers high standards of service and accommodation, with some even comparing it to the Caribbean.
Much of this is due to the high levels of foreign and domestic investment that include improved access to Hurghada through the new airport, and a complete refurbishment of the central resort area and the promenade which is known as the Golden Mile.
The marina opened in 2008 and has a good selection of upmarket restaurants and bars which guarantees its attraction to visitors for many years to come. El Gouna golf course is an 18-hole championship golf course which is just a short drive away from central Hurghada, and is a good example of the kind of private investment that has gone into the area already.
A lot of the visitors to Hurghada choose to return year after year, especially during the winter months as its close proximity to Europe makes it ideal for a weeks holiday.
