Of course, do not watch the attractions in Hurghada, and swim in the unique Red Sea and enjoy the fun nightlife. But if all this is a little reason, and with the pyramids and the neil managed to get acquainted before this, then you can go for a walk through Hurghada, admire it with architecture and identity.
Mosque Abdulhasana Elshazi.
Abdulhasana Mosque Elshazi, called the central mosque, is probably the main attraction of Hurghada. Named the mosque in honor of the Egyptian preacher, who lived near the six hundred years and founded a new direction in Islam. Two minaret of the mosque, a height of forty-meters, are visible from a distance of twenty kilometers. The mosque itself, built in the middle of the twentieth century, is made of light stone decorated with elegant carvings, and is a very impressive construction. Unfortunately, you can only admire the mosque outside - the inner is open only believers.
Monument friendship
The friendship monument is a sort of unusual monument depicting a girl who keeps the symbol of the world in one hand - a palm branch, and in the other - the globe itself. He is right near the mosque, not far from the embankment.
Temple of Egyptian Christian Copds
The acting Coptic Church named after St. Saintfery or Shanud was built in Hurghad a little less than 100 years ago. Initially, it was built for the British living here, and a little later passed to the Egyptians-kophats. Very interesting architecture of this building: here the traditional features of Islamic architecture and Christian elements were twisted. There is a church in the old town, in the area of Soliman Mazar and El Souk. You can go to the church for free, here Christian services are held, where you can press.
Sakkala and Street Schraton
Sakkala district in Hurghada is one of the oldest urban areas. He is interested in his purely Egyptian flavor. First of all, it is worth riding shopping lovers: such a number of different shops and shops with various souvenirs, hookahs, leather, cotton products, tea and spices. Many here and restaurants, eaters with fast food and discos. The main trade and tourist street of this area is Sheraton, located between the urban embankment and the historical center of Hurghada.
Dhahar.
Dahar is an old part and, at the same time, the business center of Hurghada. Very colorful place, it is worth going here to those who want to penetrate the local flavor. Here are colorful oriental shops, shabby old houses, the Egyptians in national clothes: men in white robes and women in black night. True, very, very dirty, but this is also part of the local color.
Urban aquarium
The city aquarium Hurghada allows you to get acquainted with the life of the inhabitants of the Red Sea. There are more than three hundred species of fish and other maritime residents. Here you can admire the multicolored stakes of fish angels, butterflies, watch the life of Mauren, fish surgeons, small sharks, marine heels, see corals and starfishes, as well as octopuses and turtles. There is an aquarium near the diving center of Scuba and the Triton Empire. The cost of the entrance ticket - 15 Egyptian pounds, if you want to use the camera, you will have to pay another 5 pounds.
Boulevard Marina
The most beautiful, bright, clean and elegant part of the Hurghada is the promenade of the city, known as the marina boulevard. Sparkling lights, expensive restaurants and shops, yachts, swaying on the waves - all this causes associations not with Arabic resorts, but with luxurious French or Italian. This is the most attractive part of the Hurghada, and it is necessary to go here, best in the afternoon, to watch the sunset, azure sea and swinging yachts. Music is heard from each cafe here: from traditional Arab melodies to classics. The whole territory is fenced and guarded. Especially Marina will like nightlife lovers: there are several popular nightclubs.
Museum of Egyptian antiquities
The Museum of Egyptian antiquities, located on Safaga Road, was created according to the similar museum in Cairo. Here you can take a closer look at the history of ancient Egypt, see the objects of ancient art and their copies. Also here you can learn about some traditions of the Egyptians. The only thing, and the most important minus: take photos and shoot the video here is strictly forbidden.
Sculpture "Dragon Chariot"
It seems that there are no monuments and sculptures in Hurghad, however, it is not quite so. One of the Egyptian sculptures is close to Lilly Land and is called the Dragon Chariot. It was performed in the traditional Egyptian style, everything sparkles in the sun and is a wagon-hardened horses, and the pharaoh towering on it with a strained theater.
Alley of non-ferrous fountains in Sakhl Khashish
Sahl Hashish himself is the most attractive, clean and comfortable area of Hurghada with luxury hotels, excellent sea and the beach - a sort of elite resort in the resort. But it is especially beautiful here the alley of color fountains, made in oriental style and in close proximity to the sea coast. It is worth come here when it will happen: at this time the backlight turns on, and the jet of water is shimmer in red, blue and green colors. Accompanies this action beautiful music. In general, except for fountains, a beautiful fabulous architecture, a very pleasant promenade and palm alley - I recommend to visit this place.
Monument to the MiG-21 fighter
A very unusual monument is located in the local airport. He is dedicated to the dead Egyptian and Soviet pilots during the six-day war with Israel and the friendship of the Soviet and Egyptian peoples. Unfortunately, it is not located on the territory of the international airport, but a little away, at a military airport, however, it is very good to see during a trip to the airport.
