hurghada
Hurghada war ursprünglich ein Fischerdorf und hat sich längst zu einer dichten Ansammlung von Resorts und Hotels entwickelt, die mehr als 20 km entlang der Küste marschieren. Es ist ein großartiges Ziel, um einen Tauchurlaub mit den Tauchplätzen im Niltal zu kombinieren. Weiter vor der Küste gibt es noch viele hervorragende Tauchmöglichkeiten; lokale NGOs helfen der Stadt beim Aufräumen, und der südliche Ferienort und Sigalas funkelnd moderner Yachthafen haben Hurghada etwas Glanz zurückgebracht.
