Hurghada, also known as Sakkala, is the capital of the Red Sea Governorate in Egypt. The city itself has a 36-kilometre coastline on the Red Sea and borders the desert. Hurghada is divided into three parts: El Dahar (or Ad-Dahar) - the old part of the city, home to the largest city market, the post office and the bus station; Sekalla, the modern part with a large number of hotels; and El Kora, the most modern and popular part of the city. Hurghada was founded at the beginning of the twentieth century. The city is known for its beautiful underwater world, good hotels, water sports and activities, nightlife and warm weather. You can go windsurfing, sailing, deep-sea fishing, scuba diving and more. The underwater world is among the most beautiful on the planet, and its amazingly beautiful inhabitants can be seen on a glass-bottom boat trip. For centuries Hurghada was home to various fishing communities and remained unchanged until the 1990s, when tourism discovered this idyllic village. Here you can enjoy endless beaches of fine sand stretching for kilometres along the sea, and waters suitable for water sports. There is nothing better than starting the summer early. If we choose to head for Africa, Egypt offers many opportunities for a fulfilling holiday. Holidays in Hurghada are becoming ever more popular with travellers. They are a true paradise for those who dream of summer all year round. The weather in Hurghada lets us have our first beach day of the year as early as the end of February. The resort, once a fishing village, is among the top destinations for people from all over the world.
