Hurghada is one of the oldest resorts in Egypt, it was the first in the country to receive foreign tourists "on a massive scale". From this follows two conclusions: the beaches here are really the best on the whole coast, and many hotels are already "aged." True, and they are for the most part cheaper than hotels of the same level located in other resorts.
Hurghada consists of three parts: the old city of El Dahar, the new city of Sakkala and hotels that stretch from the south to the north far beyond the city limits. Now the resort has about 200 hotels, and every month another two or three are being built.
In comparison with Sharm el-Sheikh in Hurghada, it is slightly cooler, since the resort is not surrounded by mountains. It is closer to Luxor, which is much more convenient for excursions. Well, as a local tourist attraction with some, however, stretched out the temple of Egyptian Christian Copts and the Coptic Church on the outskirts. Still here there is the Museum of the Red Sea and the Marine Aquarium.
Most vacationers in Hurghada - married couples, often with children (especially in the autumn, when the climate is the most mild), there are also a lot of pensioners who combine rest on a warm sea with short sightseeing trips.

Beaches of Hurghada
Beaches in Hurghada are gentle but open sea, fine and clean sand will not be found in all hotels. Most often these are artificially deepened lagoons. Sometimes it is not very noticeable, but sometimes the water in the lagoons turns out to be rather turbid. Many hotels have a "home reef" - corals near the beach, where you can see fish. But often because of the same coral it is impossible to enter the sea barefoot. As a rule, the hotel provides free sunbeds and umbrellas for guests. There are urban public beaches, the entrance to which is 5-10 LE - this is only relevant for urban hotels without their own beach.
