What to do and see in Hurghada, Red Sea and Sinai: The Best Tours

December 26, 2021 Roseanne Arnett

Stunning coral reefs and turquoise waters perfect for windsurfing have made Hurghada, on Egypt's Red Sea Coast, a busy resort town. Within easy reach of the stunning Giftun Islands and the Eastern Arabian Desert, Hurghada has seen enormous amounts of development in the past decade—and yes, it does seem overrun with tourists at times. But it’s a relatively easy beach escape for Europeans, and some of the world's best diving and snorkeling sites are just offshore. Walk or catch a cab to explore the old quarter, El Dahar.

I highly recommend taking this trip by plane. We booked less than 2 days in advance, there were almost no tickets left. We had business class seats to go. My name was wrong so I had to buy another ticket at the airport, maybe last seat on the plane. The agency was fair and deducted the amount from the total price agreed, very correct! From there, everything went very smooth. We were expected at the airport in Cairo by our guide Zenab and our driver. We had a private tour just for ourselves. We could go at our own pace. Zenab was a great guide and person. She was very welcoming and did her best to please us at all times. Overall, I totally recommend this travel agency, they are very thrust worthy and will guide you from and back to your hotel entrance. Thank you!!

As a professional diver, picking a good centre is vital for me - and I found it here diving with Dive UK Hurghada. Top class instructors, very knowledgeable of the local reefs and friendly. Professional boat teams and organisation, and (most importantly during these pandemic times) highest standard of cleanliness in the equipments. I would highly recommend to professionals and beginners alike.

Nice experience, but that is all. We were also told that we will have free drinks and we did get only a small cup of some green drink that tasted badly. If you want to go, get your own stuff and don't expect nothing from them. Just enjoy the view.
