Things To Do: Camel ride

  • I think many of the hotels have their own camel to take you out for a ride.
    When you say the camel is too big or too high, they will find you a donkey and even when these are too high for you....
    They'll find you a dog or a chicken to ride on!
    There is no business like tourist business.
    You'll pay a few E.L. for a ride, but always negotiate for a reasonable price.

  • You can arrange boat trips everywhere in Hurghada.
    In the big hotels or at the tourist centres in the city.
    The trip will cost you >10 euro and will last 1/2 - 1 day, food and non alcoholic drinks included.

    Things To Do: Glass bottom boat trip.

  • A glass bottom boot trip is ideal for people who don't like to get wet or travel with little children.
    You can enjoy the Azure blue water of the Red Sea and when you are lucky you'll come across some colourful fish and coral.
    The trips last about 2 hours and will never cost more than 10 euro.

    Things To Do: Snorkling

  • When you're staying in Hurghada you should try a snorkel trip.
    I don't think it is an unforgettable experience, but it is worth a try.
    Most of the coral reefs reserved for the snorklers are destroyed by snorkelers, so don't expect to see the images you'll see on TV.
    You'll come across large amounts of colourful fish and you?ll see what is left of the once beautiful coral reefs.
    A full day snorkelling trip with food and drinks will cost you 30 euros or more.

  • The Red Sea area is world famous for its diving possibilities and in Hurghada you'll find all the opportunities to arrange a memorable trip.
    Prices in Hurghada are reasonable and vary between 40 and 80 euro /dive.
    There are many different diving schools but first check out if the one you choose is PADI licensed.
    They have the right equipment and technical support.

  • When relaxing is the most important reason of your holiday you certainly should try an Egyptian massage.
    They are real finger-wizards and control the art of massaging perfectly.
    Lay back and relax.
