Hurghada’s long sandy beaches along the Red Sea are one of its main draws. This beach resort city is also a great place for diving and other water sports. There are Hurghada tours that offer diving lessons for beginners, diving trips geared toward more advanced divers, and sailing trips to nearby Orange Bay for snorkeling and swimming. You can also take a boat trip out onto the Red Sea to look for dolphins. On dry land, you can go on excursions to famous Egyptian attractions like the pyramids near Cairo or the Valley of the Kings in Luxor.
