What to do and see in Hurghada, Red Sea and Sinai: The Best Bus Tours

January 7, 2022 Madelene Haan

Stunning coral reefs and turquoise waters perfect for windsurfing have made Hurghada, on Egypt's Red Sea Coast, a busy resort town. Within easy reach of the stunning Giftun Islands and the Eastern Arabian Desert, Hurghada has seen enormous amounts of development in the past decade—and yes, it does seem overrun with tourists at times. But it’s a relatively easy beach escape for Europeans, and some of the world's best diving and snorkeling sites are just offshore. Walk or catch a cab to explore the old quarter, El Dahar.

It was a great experience. They picked us up at 3:30 from our cruise ship docked on the east side of the river. Then we were taken to the takeoff site where we watched the preparation od the balloons. Flew over Hatshepsut temple, Valley of the Kings etc and stopped for the sunrise over thr Nile. We were floating at over 700 m above the ground. The flight took around 50 minutes. Then we were driven back to the ship. Great! Totally recommend!

I highly recommend taking this trip by plane. We booked less than 2 days in advance, there were almost no tickets left. We had business class seats to go. My name was wrong so I had to buy another ticket at the airport, maybe last seat on the plane. The agency was fair and deducted the amount from the total price agreed, very correct! From there, everything went very smooth. We were expected at the airport in Cairo by our guide Zenab and our driver. We had a private tour just for ourselves. We could go at our own pace. Zenab was a great guide and person. She was very welcoming and did her best to please us at all times. Overall, I totally recommend this travel agency, they are very thrust worthy and will guide you from and back to your hotel entrance. Thank you!!
