a simple fishing village, Hurghada
has now transformed into one of the
best Egyptian tourist destinations.
The crystal clear water, pristine
reefs and a ship of many wrecks, with
its bazaars, mosques and lively atmosphere
reflects the life of Egypt. An international
centre for water sports, Hurghada
is famous for windsurfing, sailing,
deep-sea fishing, swimming, but, more
importantly, snorkeling and diving.
His only sub-gardens at sea are some
of the most beautiful in the world.
