Things to do in Hurghada International Airport
Hurghada is Egypt's premier Red Sea resort city, with consistently warm water, coral reefs, and world-class diving and snorkeling directly accessible from the beach. The Old Town (Ad Dahar) retains a more authentic Egyptian character with local shops and seafood restaurants away from the all-inclusive resort strip. Day boat excursions to Giftun Island — a marine protected area with pristine coral gardens — are the classic Hurghada activity. Dive schools catering to all levels are ubiquitous.
