From water sports and snorkelling among the vibrant marine life to exploring the exotic old part of town and its colourful bazaars, Hurghada does not disappoint!

Useful Tips

You are not required to tip taxi drivers in Egypt but it is customary to round up when you receive great service.

Due to the lack of set fares, make sure you agree on a specific cost for your trip before you set off.
