The desert ferociously blazing, deeply silent, apparently empty. Majestic and imposing in its simplicity. A holiday in the area isn’t complete without a visit to the desert, whether to a natural location; to one of the unexpected, hidden historical sites scattered throughout this crossroad of civilization that has been for centuries the Red Sea, or to the natural marvels of the sea itself. In Hurghada, many excursions can be done to some outstanding sights.
The sea crystalline with its million hues of blue, its fertile, healthy marine life, unpolluted, a triumph of nature. It is the only medium size Egyptian town on the Red sea and as such it offers a unique atmosphere suitable for practicing different water sports.
