Hurghada is on the Red Sea. It is an uninteresting town , more or less purpose built for beach lovers. But the waters are brilliant blue, and the sand is clean. Snorkellers and scuba divers have a great time, as do wind surfers.
Just lazing by the water is great as long as you have reading material.
Al Munkhir Island is a conservation area. As you approach the island you can see masses of birds.
On the island itself there is a mangrove area.
The policy is take nothing and leave nothing but your footprints.
Lounging in the shallow waters is like having a warm bath.
Only access is by boat, but on the way you may be accompanied by dolphins.
So many new hotels [Marriott, Conrad International, Sheraton] have sprung up here, it reminds me of the south of Spain. where the tourists will come from I can't imagine as there really isn't much on offer- so far alt least.
But as I mentioned above for sunworshippers and those who like the sea it's ideal.
- Pros:brilliant blue water
- Cons:not much to do except relax by the sea
- In a nutshell:fine for a short break

Sounds like a nice relaxing place by the sea. Sea, sunshine, good books, great sights = a happy person!
Sounds like a good place to go to if you want to run away from the world...LOL
nice page. i was in hurghada back in 1989. it looks like it has changed a bit since then.
The Munkhar Island sounds great, the place seems worth visiting if only for that.
