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

February 13, 2022 Kaleigh Reichenbach

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.

Very poorly organized, and unfriendly staff No respect at all of Covid 19 precautionary measure (staff and other participants) All start with a very unfriendly driver coming 30 minutes late to pick you up at your hotel. You will then join around 250 people all waiting to be dispatched on different boats, still very poorly organized with angry staff. When you reach the boat, you still have to wait before departure. In our case, pick up at 8:50, leaving the port at 11:00 You will then sail for 1h30 to reach a place where 20 other boats are already docked, do a short tour around one coral reef, compulsory to follow a "monitor" shouting every 5 minutes. Then move to the white sand island where hundreds of people are. Average food on the boat still with no respect of distancing, no gel available,... And 1:30 to go back to the port, where you end up in the same mess to be dropped back to your hotel...

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!!
