Hurghada Red Sea
We stayed in the Jungle Aqua Park Hotel which was great for families, on onsite Aqua Park with slides for older children and also 2 areas with slides for children under 12. Plenty of life guards around too! Plenty of restaurants to choose from with fresh pasta and pizzas available daily!
Senzo Mall had a variety of shops and restaurants to eat at (including McDonalds and KFC). There were some great bargains there and I bought 3 pairs of shoes for £27!! There are locals on the streets selling various Egyptian art work and belts etc, very cheap though at around £2-3 depending if you like to barter!!
There are plenty of excursions to choose from too, swimming with bottlenose dolphins and snorkelling. Diving in the red sea where the coral reefs that are considered one of the best in the world. Hurghada also has abundant prime diving sites. You can take a glass-bottom boat ride that cruises over some beautiful coral reefs, where you can see a variety of brightly coloured fish and maybe even sharks, or you could head underwater and take a ride aboard one of the small submarines.
For the more adventurous Jeep, Quad biking or Camel riding in the desert! Hurghada’s eastern desert is a landscape of sand, rocks, and mountains, and is also home to the Bedouins. Bedouin village can’t be missed, as you will learn about Bedouin life, heritage and traditions and buy local handmade crafts from them!
You can also ride camels and by local crafts whilst there! Maybe be best to avoid July/August as VERY hot in the desert!
Other attractions in Hurghada include the local market of Bazaar in Ed-Dahar, the marine life at the Red Sea Aquarium, and also the stunning coral reefs at the Giftun Islands. Hurghada also has a Hard Rock Café too!
It is a place I would recommend, for any more information or tips please give me a call!
