Hurghada is Egypt's premier Red Sea resort town — a sun-soaked stretch of coast famed for warm, clear waters, vibrant coral reefs and a long line of family-friendly beach resorts. A favourite for sun, sea and some of the world's best snorkelling and diving, it offers calm bays, all-inclusive resorts, a lively marina and easy day trips to desert and reef. Its hotels range from big family resorts and serene luxury bays to lively central districts, with year-round sunshine and a warm sea that make it an easy beach holiday.
