What to see in Hurghada

1. Récif de Giftun (excursion)
   The Giftun Islands, a short boat ride from Hurghada, offer turquoise water, well-preserved coral reefs and a usually calm sea.
2. Marina d'Hurghada
   The Hurghada marina gives you a waterfront walk that feels very different from the hotel strips along the coast.
3. El Dahar (vieux quartier & souk)
   El Dahar is the historic heart of Hurghada, long predating the resort boom along the coast.
4. Plongée à Abu Ramada
5. Safari quad dans le désert
6. Mini Egypt Park
7. Plage de Mahmya (Giftun)
   Mahmya is a small island in the Giftun archipelago, off Hurghada, where pale sand and turquoise water make it feel far removed from the mainland coast.
8. Sand City
