Hurghada

Right at the heart of the Red Sea Riviera at the lower end of the Gulf of Suez is Hurghada with its 40km of seashore and is the aquatic sports centre. Originally a fishing village the waters are ideal for the great variety of sea life which can be also seen through glass bottomed boats, and divers love this place with its crystal clear waters and many old ship wrecks.
