Hurghada is a resort town on the Red Sea Coast of Egypt. It was once a small fishing village but has grown into a major Red Sea resort as a result of Egyptian and foreign investment that began in the 1980s. It is especially appealing to those with little experience of scuba diving, who come to marvel at the underwater reefs and awesome marine life.
Holiday resorts and hotels provide facilities for windsurfing, kitesurfing, yachting, scuba diving and snorkeling. Expect plenty of sunshine, very little rainfall and average temperatures that soar into the mid 30s during Hurghada summers. Bear in mind this is a desert climate, though, so you’ll need to prepare for slightly chilly evenings. As for the sea, it hovers at a warm 20°C all year round.
