 Hurghada (Egypt)

Introduction: Set to the backdrop of Egypt’s mountainous Eastern Desert, the Red Sea resort of Hurghada draws you in with a mix of old-time charm and modern-day convenience. Thanks to excellent diving conditions, this former fishing town has become a prime tourist destination, while its streets, bazaars and cafés are vibrant with local Egyptian life.

History: It was once known as a small fisher village in the late 1970's, rarely visited by strangers. As the area has enough reserves of transparent water that served as a pedestal for divers who indulged in water recreation.

Description: The unique underwater gardens offshore are some of the finest in the world, justifiably famous amongst divers. The warm waters here are ideal for many varieties of rare fish and coral reefs, which may also be observed through glass bottom boats. This area has many fine accommodations, usually offering warm and efficient service. Restaurants are mostly along the main road. While in Hurghada, don't miss the museum and aquarium, with their complete collections of flora and fauna of the Red Sea.
