Hurghada is one of the most popular resorts in Egypt. Of course, she has its pros and cons, given them and it is worth deciding to go here or find another place for your holiday.
The overall length of the resort is about 20 kilometers. All movement in the resort occurs either on local minibuses or by taxi. By the way, during a trip on minibuses, be alerting, check-for check-up, usually it is 1 dollar, but for tourists from drivers its price is different from the present. There is no sense to enter into a discussion about the discussion, you cannot prove anything in the case of anything. After the price is consistent, do not hurry to pay. Calculate the driver at the end, sometimes cunning workers of a minibus if you pay a trip at the beginning, at the end we ask you to pay again, allegedly you have paid anything.
Most hotels are located on the first coastline, but due to the lack of space, the second and third lines of the Earth are now actively being built. Since the resort is old enough, it is Hurghada who began to first take tourists to themselves and actively turn the tourist infrastructure, the hotel base here is also not new. Many hotels requiring cosmetic repairs, gradually this situation changes for the better, but not far away everywhere. Therefore, if you open reviews, you can see the frequently encountered phrases "Shabby rooms", "old furniture". In this regard, Hurghada is the most budget, against the background of the same Sharm el-Sheikh. There are little expensive five-star hotels, if the hotel is positioning itself as 5 *, know in fact it is a good 4-ka. Especially in Egypt, there is no such classification of hotels and for what criteria there are not clear the stars there.
Often, it is in the haurgard that there are last minute trips or good special offers. Nevertheless, first of all, the Sharm el-Sheikh is well sold.
A big plus rest at this resort is the beach. Everyone knows that Egypt is famous for its amazingly beautiful red sea, but agree, not all tourists need coral reefs. So in Hurghada in most hotels a normal sandy visiting in the water, you do not have to buy special shoes, the shores are completely cleaned of corals. These are excellent conditions for recreation with children and people of retirement age. Some hotels have two types of beaches: sandy and coral. Good opportunity not to take an excursion, but see the underwater world near the hotel. But alas, not all the reefs are beautiful, so of course it's better once, but to go on a sea walk if there is such an opportunity.
A completely different tourists can come to stay in Hurghada, everyone will find what to do here. Families with children will be comfortable, in almost all hotels, children's infrastructure are widely developed: children's pools, platforms, mini disco, animation programs and more. Youth will like the adult animation, the availability of discos in hotels and urban nightclubs, where you can get either yourself, or with the animators of hotels (they often offer a similar service). A calmer category of tourists will also be able to spend their rest well, sharing a quieter hotel, ride along excursions. Especially especially attractive Hurghad to those who are aimed at visiting the city of the Museum under the open-air Luxor. The bus ride will be about 5 hours, maybe a little less, but from Sharm el-Sheikh in Luxor you can only get on the plane, due to which the cost of the excursion takes off at times.
Hurghada, in addition to a large number of hotels, has a wide tourist infrastructure, which is not here only. A large number of shops, restaurants, cafes. However, it is better not to go out to the city from the hotel, especially for women and girls. I would not call this resort safe, go for a walk even to the center where everything around sparkles and around full of tourists should not be better or staying at the hotel, or find with whom you can go there together. In Egypt, no rare cases of abduction of young girls by the Arabs themselves. Therefore, be alert.
In general, the resort itself is very typical for Egypt, going out on the street you will most likely come across very obsessive merchants. If you manage to come back into the room with empty hands, then you can consider yourself a unique tourist, because even the most dubbed tourist rarely leaves these sellers with empty hands. Sell try anything: papyrus, oils, carcade tea, all kinds of decorations, souvenirs, hookahs and much more.
