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

November 21, 2021 Carley Gatson

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.

Our drivers are professional and licensed drivers and are trained in First aid, our cars are fitted with seat belts for every passenger. We use 4x4 Toyota Fortuner for our safari. One must get a camera when going to a desert safari in El Gouna as the views are breath taking and awesome, also one should wear comfortable cloths and avoid jewelry or expensive watch and cell phones as there is no signal at the desert. Another Popular activity in the desert is the camel trek. Enjoy the sunset while you are on the dune where you have drinks and dinner waiting for you. This is a more personal way to experience the desert environment, you get a glimpse of the desert vegetation the strange insects on the sands.

Mahmoud Nour organized us the best private tour we could ever imagine to visit Luxor and the surroundings. We were picked up from our hotel in Hurghada. Mahmoud is very knowledgeable, he had many great stories from the area, all his historical fact were interesting. I could tell right away when we meet him that he's passionate about his work. Thank you again, hope to see you soon. Botond

If you need a real desert safari experience and not the highly touristy and unimpressive "safaris" organized near Hurghada look no further. My family said this is the best part of their experience in Egypt and the superior customer experience is unlike anything else. We were shown the real desert and nature in a luxury 4x4 and our guide did show us incredible things in the desert.The dinner was most delicious .I learned a lot about the desert from this tour and feel extremely satisfied.Treated like a king. I will reccomend to friends and surely come back one day :)))

Nice experience, but that is all. We were also told that we will have free drinks and we did get only a small cup of some green drink that tasted badly. If you want to go, get your own stuff and don't expect nothing from them. Just enjoy the view.
