What to do and see in Hurghada, Red Sea and Sinai: The Best Hidden Gems Things to do

December 12, 2021 Marlin Saiz

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.

Horse Riding Hurghada

Charlotte has been working with horses in Hurghada for the last 12 years and has now teamed up with Jo, also from the UK to work on an exciting new project. Combining the rehabilitation of neglected horses and sharing the pleasures of the Eastern Desert with riders of all abilities and ages. Riding our beautiful Arabian cross horses in the spectacular scenery of the Eastern Desert is a life enhancing experience. We have horses for all levels, from complete beginners to professional riders, and everything in between! We have several child-friendly ponies so children are welcome. Normally, trips last from one to two hours, but we can arrange tailor-made full, half-day or overnight safaris to the mountains 20 kms away. We can also provide riding lessons if required. Safety is a priority with us so our equipment is of European standard including riding hats. Animal welfare is also a top priority. All our horses are well treated, well fed and happy!

Riding an Arabian through the desert at sunset, a magical experience. Aziz was such a lovely horse, he was responsive and obedient, galloped when asked and walked when told and was understanding of my limited horseback skills. All the horses at the stables are treated so well and looked after. Charlotte and her team also rescue horses and I would highly recommend a visit and a ride. Thank you all and I will see you again!

Escape Room Hurghada

You and a group of friends or family are locked in one of our electrifying mysterious rooms and have only 60 minutes to find your way out.

Reviewed By malakelkayal - Cairo, Egypt

On our trip to Hurghada, we stumbled upon this escape room and, being escape room fanatics, decided to try it out. We actually went two days back to back because of the compelling storylines they provided for each and every room, the very warm hospitality of the manager, Mr. Gasser, and the mighty hints keeper, Karim :) I loved the way the rooms (yes, we visited 2 different rooms because they seemed so intriguing) were built, how the clues were laid out, and how they weren’t just your run of the mill hide and seek game... it was a very professional, artistic, and truly immersive escape room experience. If you ever come to Hurghada, you MUST give it a visit (or 2. Or even more. Seriously.. it’s THAT addictive). It’s worth every minute and I promise you it will not disappoint!
