Hurghada, the popular vacation oasis on the Red Sea, is one of the most popular destinations for sun-seekers from all over Europe – and not without reason. Directly accessible from Leipzig/Halle Airport, a world of crystal-clear water, endless beaches, colorful coral reefs and oriental flair awaits you in Hurghada. Whether a beach vacation, water sports, desert experience or simply relaxation – Hurghada offers everything for an unforgettable stay.
The city stretches for many kilometers along the coast and offers a wide range of accommodation – from luxurious all-inclusive resorts with their own lagoon to charming boutique hotels. Many resorts are located directly by the sea and have their own house reefs, so you can discover an impressive underwater world while snorkeling on the beach.
The Red Sea is a paradise for divers and snorkelers. Colorful corals, exotic fish, turtles and sometimes even dolphins are among the underwater highlights. There are plenty of diving schools and boat tours – whether you are a beginner or an experienced diver, there is something for everyone here. Day trips to the islands of Giftun, Mahmya or Orange Bay, with their white sandy beaches and turquoise waters, are particularly popular.
Hurghada also has a lot to offer on land. The old town of El Dahar attracts visitors with its oriental markets, spice stalls, small cafés and traditional handicrafts. A visit to an Egyptian bazaar with its colors, scents and voices is a feast for the senses. Here you can haggle, marvel and feel the real Egypt. In the evening, it’s worth taking a stroll through the marina, where modern bars, restaurants and yachts come together.
If you are looking for adventure, you should definitely go on a desert safari – whether by quad bike, jeep or even on the back of a camel. The fascinating landscape of the Eastern Desert, Bedouin villages and starry nights can be experienced up close on guided tours. Excursions to nearby Luxor or the Valley of the Kings are also possible – ideal for anyone who wants to experience a piece of ancient Egyptian history.
Hurghada offers a wide variety of culinary delights: from fresh fish and seafood to oriental specialties such as koshari, shawarma or falafel to international dishes. Many hotels have themed restaurants and live cooking, but there are also excellent restaurants outside the resorts.
Hurghada is an attractive destination all year round with consistently warm temperatures, very few rainy days and a pleasant sea breeze. It is ideal for families, couples, solo travelers and active holidaymakers – whether you want to relax or explore.
