Luxury holidays in Hurghada

Once a modest fishing village, Hurghada – Egypt’s Red Sea resort town – is now home to a glamorous fun-loving populous of natives and ex-pats. In the old town, El Dahar, you’ll find a traditional Egyptian souk crammed with local goods, while downtown El Sakala presents a more nocturnal buzz. Its islands, Giftun and Mahmya, are graced with sandy reefs, gardens of coral and exotic marine life, and for those with more contemporary tastes, the northern town of El Gouna is home to a yearly film festival, manicured golf courses, award-winning architecture and a nimiety of gastronomic offerings.
