Hit HURGHADA
of the Summer 2022
YOU KNOW ABOUT THOSE ENDLESS, WHITE SANDY BEACHES WITH THEIR POWDERY-SOFT SHORES AND CRYSTAL-CLEAR TURQUOISE WATERS, REMINISCENT OF A DREAM, A FILM, JUST NOT LIKE THEY ARE THREE AND A HALF HOURS AWAY BY PLANE FROM YOU? THEY ARE LOCATED IN THE MOST POPULAR SUMMER HOLIDAY DESTINATION—EGYPT. AN AQUARIUM-LIKE SWIMMING EXPERIENCE
THE MOST GORGEOUS BEACHES
If you want something a bit different from what awaits you at the much loved Adriatic seaside, the Egyptian town of Hurghada might make an impression on you this summer. Hurghada is situated on the coast of the Red Sea, which is known for its healing properties, and the Arabian Desert, and that is what makes it quite unique: it combines a beach holiday with a desert adventure— camel riding tours. Swimming in the waters of the Red Sea feels like swimming in a huge aquarium. The sea is known for its reefs coral species diversity and is home to more than 1,000 species of fish. It is therefore not surprising that Hurghada is one of the international centres for water sports enthusiasts: from diving to windsurfing.
You cannot go wrong with wherever you decide to stay in Hurghada, but if we had to pick the most beautiful beaches, we would have to name but a few. The most popular one is Sahl Hasheesh Beach which is located on a sandy bay on the Egyptian Red Sea coast, just 15 minutes from
Hurghada Airport. Stretching over 12 km of white sandy beaches, it is home to the largest beach resort complex in Egypt. Makadi Bay is one of the places preferred by many tourists for holiday because it is tailored to meet their needs. You can spend leisurely days on a deserted and secluded beach there and enjoy stunning views of the Red Sea. It is a small beach in the very centre of Hurghada. Situated on an elongated steep cape opposite the island of Juzu Abu Minkar and next door to Hurghada International Airport, it is almost entirely built up with expensive hotels and catering establishments. And as icing on the cake, we single out Mahmeya Beach, which is part of the Giftun Island National Park. After roughly 45 minutes on the water, you will arrive at Giftun Island and realise what a privilege it is to be here. 111
