Elias Tours Egypt · Hurghada
Egypt’s main Red Sea resort town — known for reef diving, consistent sun, and easy access to Luxor by road.
Red Sea Coast · Egypt
Hurghada sits on the western shore of the Red Sea, roughly 200km from Luxor. It began as a fishing village and grew into one of Egypt’s most visited destinations — primarily for diving, water sports, and beach holidays. The Red Sea here has some of the world’s most accessible coral reefs, with visibility that regularly exceeds 30 metres.
Hurghada · What to Know
01
The reefs off Hurghada are among the most accessible in the Red Sea — shallow enough for beginners, rich enough for experienced divers. Over 1,000 marine species, consistent visibility, warm water year-round.
02
A protected nature reserve 15km offshore. Boat trips run daily — clear lagoons, white sand, and some of the best snorkelling in the area. Busy in peak season; quieter midweek.
03
The original part of Hurghada, away from the resort strip. Local markets, Egyptian coffee shops, and cheaper restaurants. Worth an evening if you want to see how the city actually lives.
04
The Eastern Desert starts a few kilometres inland — quad biking, camel rides, and Bedouin camps are readily available. Good option for a half-day break from the coast.
05
Kitesurfing, windsurfing, and parasailing are well-established here. The northern lagoons have reliable wind and calm conditions. Several IKO-certified kite schools operate year-round.
06
Luxor is around 3.5 hours by road — a long but viable day trip. A private car and guide makes the distance manageable, and the contrast between the Red Sea and ancient Thebes is worth it.
“Most guests come for the sea and leave having visited Luxor. The combination works well — a few days on the coast, then a day with the pharaohs.”
