Excursions at Red Sea

About Hurghada

Hurghada has developed into Egypt's major Red Sea resort, catered by a growing number of hotels and self-contained beach-side holiday villages, with a wide and excellent variety of facilities.

The warm shallow sea with its numerous coral reefs and abundant variety of fish attracts countless diving and fishing enthusiasts to Hurghada. The brilliant marine life can be explored by all, from casual snorkeling to experienced diving. Both national and international diving instructors are on hand to provide introductory, courses and to take the more seasoned campaigners to deep drop-off zones and under-water caverns. If you are not a diving enthusiast, you can nevertheless enjoy the view of the fascinating coral reefs and the abounding marine life on board one of the numerous bottom glass boats. Due to unmatched sea clarity Hurghada also attracts a lot of both professional and amateur underwater photographers. Besides diving, Hurghada, with its perfect weather all year round, is also an international centre for water sports : swimming, sailing, water-skiing, and windsurfing. Other than water sports, hotels and resorts offer a full complement of sports activities, from tennis and squash to beach volleyball and basketball. Hurghada is also home to the International Hurghada Squash Championship, hosting the top squash players in the world.

There are around 25 small islands around Hurghada offering excellent getaways to travelers wishing to escape to private, secluded beaches. Excursions can also be made into the desert hills to Roman Mons Poryphyrites remains at Gebel Abu Dukhan ( Mountain of the Father of Smoke), 65 km north of Hurghada. Adventure seekers should try the thrill of dune driving, by taking four wheel drive vehicles to the countless sand dunes and try to put their driving skills to the test. Sand-surfing is also one of the experiences not to be missed! To get a more intimate feel of the beauty of the desert, go on a safari by four wheel drive vehicles or by camels and camp overnight in the heart of the majestic Red Sea mountains.

With guaranteed sunshine all year, golden sandy beaches, and warm turquoise water, Hurghada is an ideal place for travelers wishing to unwind and recharge their batteries. Hurghada is serviced by regular flights to and from Cairo and is accessible by a 528 km road journey Via Suez. A good road connects Hurghada with Luxor. This 280 km journey takes about four hours and combines the spectacular scenery of the eastern desert with the lush rural setting of the Nile.

About Safaga

Port Safaga (Bur Safaga), or simply Safaga as it is more commonly known, is located 53km south of Hurghada.
Port Safaga (Bur Safaga) is a working port located 37 miles from Safaga with several tourist villages specialized in diving holidays, a handfull of hotels and some excellent sea food restaurants. Its unspoiled beaches and stiff breezes made it the ideal venue for the 1993 World Windsurfing Championships. Day trips to Tobia Island or Mons Claudianus in the Red Sea Mountains can be arranged with local guides.

Mons Claudianus is at the foot of Jebel Fatira, located about 30 miles from Port Safaga just of the Qena road. This was a Roman Penal Colony of substance, where Quartzy diorite, a high quality granite, was mined as building materials for the Roman Empire. This black stone can still be seen in Rome in the portico of the Pantheon, in Hadrian's Villa, and public baths and in the columns and floor of the Temple of Venus. There is also a Roman camp, dwellings, workshops, stables and a dromos. The camp is surrounded by granite walls with rounded defense towers on the corners, to protect it from Bedouin attacks

About El Quseir

Al-Quseir has a long history as one of the major ports of the Red Sea: from here Queen Hatshepsut launched her expedition to the Land of Punt. The 16th century fortress of Sultan Selim, still standing in the center of town, shows al-Quseir's former strategic importance. Today, it is a quiet resort with sandy beaches, clear waters and coral reefs. It is also a suitable site for camping and water sports.

An ancient caravan trail to Qift in the Nile valley, leads from al-Quseir through the mountains, passing several Pharanoic and Roman sites. A new road, directly to Luxor, has been opened.

About El Gouna

Spreading over 11km of the most pristine beaches, built on clusters of Islands surrounded by turquoise lagoons, and bordering the crystal waters of the Red Sea, lies El Gouna, 20 km from Hurghada and one of Egypt’s most exclusive destinations. El Gouna began with a romantic vision: friends, boats and a passion for the sea, gradually evolving into a fully comprehensive resort with luxurious villas, internationally-renowned hotel chains, a wide range of restaurants and a vibrant bustling night life, with a character and soul of its own.

The architecture of El Gouna with its pastel coloured domed buildings, was carefully designed to blend in with the surrounding environment, in marked contrast to the bright turquoise of the surrounding lagoons. “Kafr El Gouna”, or the downtown area and the heart and center of El Gouna, is independent from the big hotels and is unique in style due to the cluster of inner courtyards, alleyways and whitewashed domes that depict the traditional Egyptian rural architecture. The architects are Ramy El Dahan and Soheir Farid, who design in the style of Hasan Fathy, Egypt's most famous Architect. The kafr provides everything one would expect of a lively town: shops, art galleries, cafés, restaurants, bars, discotheques, a cinema, school, in addition to a travel agency, museum and aquarium. There is also a sufficient choice of hotels which vary from the deluxe five-star beach-front resort hotel to the small and quaint boutique hotel.

In short, this town has something for everyone, secluded beaches and exclusive hotels for those seeking a getaway, desert safaris, water skiing, parasailing, windsurfing, sailing catamarans and deep-sea fishing , and the world’s best diving for the adventurous, endless in-house entertainment for those traveling with their family, a great and bustling night life for fun seekers, even golf lovers can enjoy the picturesque and challenging golf courses of El Gouna.

Yet, in spite of the great facilities on offer, El Gouna provides much more than the sun, sand and sea and good hotel management, it is above all, a very active community with powerful infrastructure and extensive community support facilities, including a hospital, private airport, an international school , a nursery and even its own radio station, to serve the rapidly burgeoning community. All this has been done with great care for its surroundings, that “El Gouna” was voted the “most environmentally friendly resort in Egypt.”
