The town of Hurghada itself features a basic commercial street for tourists, and apart from that it doesn’t offer really anything else to do. Around that area most of the resorts are autonomous and feature hotels recommended for people that are looking for an isolated and quiet place away from the actual Egyptian culture.
However some resorts do connect one with the other, so you can always walk around a different resort and visit its shops and restaurant in case you get tired of the area you are staying. Apart from that Hurghada is worth to visit mainly because of the beautiful Red Sea, which is really recommended for those who love diving or snorkelling. Underwater you will see fantastic coral reefs and a great variety of exotic fish just 10 meters away from the beach. The hotel will either provide you with a dive escorts on the spot, or they can organize a scuba diving tour with guides.

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.
