The coral sea around Hughada, which contains over 200 different coral species, is one of several factors that have made it a world-famous scuba diving holiday destination.

Famous Hurghada dive sites include the nature reserve on Giftun Island and reef diving in the area around Makadi Bay. More experienced divers might enjoy a diving safari to visit some of the easily-accessible dive sites off the coast, such as the coral outcrops of Taba, the impressive vertical coral walls of Ras Mohammed, the wrecks of Sha'ab Abu Nuhas, or the islands of 'The Brothers' and 'Zabargad.'

You can enjoy the 20km of fine, sandy beaches however you like: snorkel, sail, take a trip in a glass bottomed boat to admire the fabulous water gardens and uninhabited reefs around the coast, or even go deep-sea fishing. Other travel options include jeep safaris across the dunes to visit the colourful Bedouin tribes, and day trips to Luxor, Sharm el Sheikh, and other nearby cities.
