Getting Around

Taxis are a popular choice but agree on a fare before you travel as there are no meters. You'll also find microbuses whizzing from one part of the city to another. Walking is a great way of seeing the area, but take precautions to protect yourself from the strong sun. There is also a water taxi available in Hurghada Marina.

Things to Do


Hurghada is more than just pristine beaches and luxurious resort pools.

Visit Giftun Island National Park, where you can witness the vibrant marine life beneath the surface. Keep an eye out for enchanting creatures like parrot fish, butterflyfish, and anemonefish as you take a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear waters.

Enjoy a fascinating day trip to the Monasteries of St. Anthony and St. Paul. These monasteries, dating back to the 4th century AD, are believed to be the oldest Christian monasteries in the world. Explore their rich history and marvel at their architectural splendour.

Experience the desert in a traditional way—on the back of a camel. Take your first steps into the vast desert landscapes and embrace the unique rhythm of the camel's gentle stride. Don't worry if finding your balance takes a little time; the adventure is all part of the experience.
