On Land

A far cry from its humble fishing town beginnings, Hurghada has a bustling city center with cafes, shops, museums, and souks (traditional markets) to explore. To the east of the city, you can enjoy a day full of desert activities and rugged mountain exploration.

City Center

Visit the marine museum and aquarium to walk through underwater tunnels and marvel at the fish frenzy at feeding time. Fancy a bite? Head to the marina promenade for dinner overlooking bobbing boats in the water.

Desert Fun

Tackle the dunes on a quad bike, dune buggy, or jeep! Safaris are a popular option for those with a taste for adventure. Go off road and kick up some sand, exploring the desert’s valleys and dunes. Not into motor power? If you don’t mind a more leisurely pace, charter some camels for a truly authentic desert experience.
