Egypt is one of the most popular tourist destinations. In the last decade, the interest in this country has grown significantly and Egypt has become a kind of benchmark for affordable exoticism. The more adventurous and knowledge-loving nature head to the “historic core” of the country, which lies along the banks of the Nile. Here they admire the fascinating sights and monuments left by the ancient Egyptian culture that lived for over three thousand years. Of course, the Pyramids with the Sphinx in Giza are at the forefront.
But not everyone wants to trudge through the hot ancient land, push through crowded cities and sail the muddy waters of the Nile in search of knowledge. A number of tourists perceive Egypt more as a relaxing destination. The goal is not a historical country, but a modern location on the coast of the Red Sea. Luxurious and clean resorts offering every comfort. The city of Hurghada clearly belongs to the absolute classics.
Hurghada: a tourist paradise
Hurghada was founded only in 1905, originally only as a fishing village. From the 1970s, however, it began to transform into a center of tourism. Today it belongs to the most important holiday destinations in Egypt and the wider region of North Africa and the Middle East. It attracts beautiful and endlessly long sandy beaches and a rich underwater world.
And if you do get bored, you can go on countless trips from here at any time. To the aforementioned Giza or perhaps to the monuments in Luxor, Karnak or the famous Valley of the Kings near the former capital of the ancient New Kingdom, Veset. You can also go to the Red Sea islands behind the beautiful coral reefs.
