Hurghada - Red Sea Paradise

It's easy to see why the dramatic landscapes of this Red sea resort are so popular with tourists looking for blazing hot sunshine, crystal clear waters and culturally rich Egyptian bazaars. This modern resort offers all manner of superb Egyptian holidays, ranging from cheap deals to the more expensive all inclusive, luxury holidays at the other end of the scale. You'll find that Hurghada is very much a place of contrasts. Ideally placed between the warm waters of the the Red sea Riviera and the barren desert situated outside of the resort, you'll find that exploration and day trips take in both, allowing you to really sample this awesome Red sea resort.

Many people choose Hurghada holidays because of the wealth of boat trips that head out into the Red sea from here. Trips are easy to come by and are offered at very reasonable prices, around 20 Euros for a half day, and your trip is likely to take in many of the best beaches in the area and some fantastic snorkelling spots. For more snorkelling havens try heading south of Hurghada and to Makadi bay where the fish are plentiful and the waters are fantastic for hard coral and all of its inhabitants.

A Jeep safari in the majestic Sahara desert should also be high on your agenda with a holiday to Hurghada. Prices are reasonable and seats in the Jeeps are easy to come by either through your hotel or via one of the many tour operators on the the streets of Hurghada. If you're feeling even more adventurous, why not try something a little more extreme and rent a quad bike! You may also be given the chance to hop aboard a camel if you venture into the desert, and what better way to really appreciate this mystical place than with a trip on the most traditional of all desert plains transport! You'll really discover a passion for the desert with a trip to Hurghada and when leaving you will really come to appreciate the expanse and solitude that this still mysterious place has to offer.
