Hurghada

A City of Sunshine, Energy, and Endless Blue

Hurghada is one of Egypt’s most famous coastal cities, located on the western shore of the Red Sea, about 450 km south of Cairo. Once a small fishing town, it has grown into a modern, energetic city that attracts millions of visitors every year from all over the world.

The city stretches for more than 40 kilometers along the coast, offering a mix of luxury resorts, bustling streets, and quiet neighborhoods by the sea. It’s known for its crystal-clear waters, vibrant coral reefs, and friendly, welcoming locals.

The climate is warm and sunny all year round, with temperatures between 20°C and 35°C — making it perfect for beach lovers, divers, and anyone escaping the cold.

Even in winter, the city enjoys sunshine almost every day, which is why it’s one of the top winter destinations for European tourists.
