The Many and Varied Attractions of Hurghada

Hurghada is one of the biggest resorts in the Red Sea Riviera, but is often overshadowed by Sharm el Sheikh. However there are several reasons as to why this resort is better. To put it simply, it has a bit of everything, and the sheer number of activities offered to holidaymakers make it very hard to beat.

Its primary claim to fame is perhaps as the diving capital of the world, and certainly you'll find world-class facilities here. If you are looking to learn how to scuba dive, then there is probably no better place to do so, as the waters are warm and clear, and coral reefs are superb. It's also an excellent location for families as there is safe snorkelling and swimming, and of course there are always lots of boat trips on offer. Most places will not allow kids under the age of 10 to scuba dive.

Although Hurghada is quite a lively resort at night, there are plenty of quieter places nearby including El Gouna, Soma Bay and Makadi Bay.

If you ever become tired of the glorious beaches and then there is lots to do and see nearby. There are numerous camel safaris on offer, or you can choose to travel a little further afield to see the pyramids or the Valley of the Kings.

It's easy to see why so many people choose to buy property here, as it is considerably cheaper than Sharm el Sheikh, and the flight connections are just as good. It has the same high standard of amenities, and is fast becoming extremely popular. It's a year-round resort, and many people are able to earn good rental income from property here.
