Day 2 Hurghada

A full day to soak up the sun of this Red Sea resort, swim, relax by the pool or visit the town of Hurhgada. It seems a long time since Hurghada was nothing more than a small fishing village and modest shipyard ignored by the rest of the world, including the Egyptians. In fact, it is only in the last ten years that Hurghada has become the most popular seaside resort in the country and an international centre for aquatic sports like windsurfing, sailing, deep-sea fishing, swimming and, above all, snorkelling and diving. The unique underwater gardens offshore are some of the finest in the world, justifiably famous among divers. If you aren't licensed to dive, it is often possible to snorkel and see incredible coral reefs and hundreds of varieties of tropical fish just 10 meters from the beach. The warm waters here are ideal for many varieties of rare fish and coral reefs, which may also be observed through glass bottom boats. The town centre, known as the Ed-Dahar quarter, has preserved a certain traditional character with a small souk and local hotels.
