Hurghada
The city was founded in the early 20th century, and since the 1980s has been continually enlarged by

Egyptian and foreign investors to become the leading seashore resort on the Red Sea. Holiday villages

and hotels provide aquatic sport facilities for sailboarders, yachtsmen, scuba divers and snorkelers.

Hurghada stretches for about 36 km along the seashore, and it does not reach far into the surrounding

desert. The resort is a destination for Egyptian tourists from Cairo, the Delta and Upper Egypt, as well as

package holiday tourists from Europe, notably Italians, Russians, Czechs and Germans. Until a few years

ago it was a small fishing village. Today Hurghada counts 248,000 inhabitants and is divided into three

parts: Downtown (El Dahar) is the old part; Sekalla is the modern part, and El Korra Road is the most

modern part. Sakkala is the relatively modest hotel quarter. Dahar is where the town's largest bazaar, the

post office and the long-distance bus station are situated.

The city is served by the Hurghada International Airport with scheduled passenger traffic to and from

Cairo and direct connections with several cities in Europe. The airport has undergone massive

renovations to accommodate rising traffic. Hurghada is known for its watersports activities, nightlife and

warm weather. Daily temperature hovers round 30 degrees Celsius most of the year. Numerous

Europeans spend their Christmas and New Year holidays in Hurghada, primarily Germans and Italians
