The Red Sea Riviera extends along approximately 300 km of sandy beaches where Hurghada occupies 50 km of this coastline and has evolved

as the most vibrant city in this destination. Hurghada is situated on a promontory, with about 30 small islands that are surrounded by coral reefs.

The attraction of this region lies in its magnificent underwater world, the beaches and the turquoise blue sea. Thanks to the ideal water temperatures,

the sea is rich in fascinating corals and beautiful fish.

The town itself, nowadays, counts a population of about 80,000. The booming construction activity in the former fishing village is still

undamped. Hurghada consists of the old town center at the harbor, called "Sakalla", in which the Egyptian daily life takes place, with brisk business

of the vegetable and fruit salesmen, meat and bread sellers, and in the typical Egyptian cafes, snack bars and restaurants. In New Hurghada,

in the north, known as "Downtown" or "Dahar", there is a police station, post office, telephone office, shops, bars, coffee shops and some discos.

The nightlife, however, mostly takes place within the hotels or in discotheques and bars along the touristic promenade called “Memsha” and the

New Marina located in Sakalla. Well worth seeing are especially the religious buildings. Hurghada has about 30 mosques and Coptic churches.

Surrounded by the Arabian Desert, roads lead from Hurghada directly to Cairo, Luxor and Suez. Meanwhile, Hurghada International Airport

receives regular and charter flights from several International destinations and domestic cities.

Hurghada has developed as a place where the utmost importance is given to public realm and facilities, from lifestyle and entertainment to education

and healthcare. A place designed to make residents feel safe and comfortable, a place to raise children and make lifelong friends, a place

to call home.
