Hurghada, Egypt: A Local Guide For First-Timers

Hurghada, having spent the first hundred years of its life as a sleepy little fishing village on the Red Sea, is now one of the most popular beach and diving destinations in the Middle East — and for good reason. Hurghada was named one of TripAdvisor’s Top 10 Most Popular Destinations in the World for 2022 and has a whopping 13 entries in Scuba Travel’s World’s Top 100 Dive Sites in 2022.

So combine the spectacular diving with 365 days of sun and beach weather, and you’ll start to get why Hurghada is such a tourist favorite.
