Foundation
The city
was founded in the early 20th century, and since the 1980s has been continually
enlarged by Egyptian and foreign investors to become the leading seashore resort
on the Red Sea. Holiday villages and hotels provide aquatic sport facilities for
sailboarders, yachtsmen, scuba divers and snorkelers.
Location
Hurghada
stretches for about 36 km along the seashore, and it does not reach far into the
surrounding desert. The resort is a destination for Egyptian tourists from Cairo,
the Delta and Upper Egypt, as well as package holiday tourists from Europe, notably
Italians, Russians, Czechs and Germans. Until a few years ago it was a small fishing
village. Today Hurghada counts 248,000 inhabitants and is divided into three parts:
Downtown (El Dahar) is the old part; Sekalla is the modern part, and El Korra Road
is the most modern part. Sakkala is the relatively modest hotel quarter.
Today, Hurghada
is known as a party town, particularly among Europeans. Locals and others will tell
you that life begins at night in Hurghada, with the many, many clubs. They are particularly
frequented by the young, but certainly many others of all ages. One may often find
a rousing party centered around the visitors from a tour group taking over the action
of a particular bar. They are easy to find along the main street, along with loads
of inexpensive and expensive hotels. Hurghada is also a city under development.
Many new hotels and construction are taking place, and we can expect to see some
great new hotels, restaurants and other facilities in the near future.
