1) Hurghada Travel Guide

Hurghada was founded in the beginning of the 20th century, and has been the top bathing resort on the Red Sea ever since the 80’s where it began to be enlarged by American, European and Arab investors.

The facilities in total provide excellent water sport amenities for sail boarders, yachtsmen, scuba divers and snorklers. Hurghada used to be a small fishing village stretching a long way along the seashore (almost 24 ml), and it doesn't reach far into the desert that surrounds the area.

Nowadays Hurghada has population of 40,000 and is divided into three areas: Downtown (El Dahar) is the old part; Sekalla is the modern part, and El Korra Road is the most modern part. Sakkala is the relatively modest hotel quarter. In Dahar there is the largest market in town, the post office and the long-distance bus station situated. A large number of restaurants, bar and shops, small pubs and internet cafes are offered all over Hurghada.

The city is served by the Hurghada International Airport with scheduled transfer to and from Cairo and direct connections with many cities in Europe.
