Overview – A Glimpse into Hurghada’s Heart

Hurghada is one of Egypt’s most dynamic coastal cities, a fascinating blend of old traditions and modern charm.

Itinerary – What to Expect on Your Hurghada City Tour

Pickup from Makadi Bay Hotels

Your adventure begins with a comfortable pickup from your hotel in Makadi Bay. You’ll be greeted by your friendly English-speaking guide, who will accompany you throughout the journey, sharing fascinating facts and stories about Hurghada and its people.

Relax in an air-conditioned private car as you drive along the Red Sea coast toward the city.


Panoramic Viewpoint – Capture the City from Above

The first stop offers a breathtaking panoramic view over the entire city of Hurghada.
From this high vantage point, you’ll admire the colorful mix of old houses, the turquoise coastline, and the surrounding desert mountains — a perfect photo opportunity before diving deeper into the city’s heartbeat.


El Mina Masjid – A Gem of Islamic Architecture

Next, you’ll visit the magnificent El Mina Masjid, Hurghada’s main mosque and one of the most beautiful in the Red Sea region.
Built in stunning Ottoman style with twin minarets and intricate details, it’s not only a place of worship but also a symbol of peace and harmony.
Your guide will explain the principles of Islam and local customs in a respectful, educational way.

(Please remember to dress modestly when entering the mosque.)


St. Mary’s Church – A Spiritual Contrast

Just a few minutes away lies St. Mary’s Coptic Church, another sacred landmark that reflects Egypt’s diverse spiritual heritage.
Here, you’ll learn about the Coptic Christian community — one of the oldest in the world — and admire the church’s serene atmosphere and beautiful icons.

This peaceful stop shows how different religions coexist harmoniously in Hurghada.


The Old Port and Fish Market – The Heart of Hurghada Life

No city tour is complete without seeing the fishermen’s harbor, where traditional wooden boats are still built and repaired by hand.
Nearby, the Old Fish Market bustles with daily activity — a vibrant scene of locals bargaining and trading freshly caught seafood.

It’s a great chance to experience authentic Egyptian life, far removed from the tourist areas.


El Dahar Old Town – The Soul of Hurghada

From the port, you’ll head to El Dahar, Hurghada’s oldest neighborhood.
This district feels like stepping back in time, with narrow streets, fruit and spice markets, and local cafés serving strong Arabic coffee.

You’ll see everyday Egyptian life up close — shopkeepers calling out to customers, children playing in the streets, and vendors displaying colorful spices, perfumes, and handmade goods.
It’s also the perfect place to pick up unique souvenirs at local prices.


The New Marina – Modern Luxury by the Sea

To end the tour, you’ll visit Hurghada Marina Boulevard, the city’s modern heart.
Here, sleek yachts bob in the water, and visitors stroll along the promenade lined with international restaurants and cozy bars.

You’ll have some free time to relax, enjoy a refreshing drink, or take photos of the sunset shimmering over the Red Sea before heading back to Makadi Bay.


Shopping in Hurghada – From Spices to Souvenirs

Hurghada’s markets and bazaars are a paradise for shoppers.
During your free time, you can browse for handmade jewelry, Egyptian cotton scarves, papyrus art, essential oils, or authentic spices to take home a piece of Egypt’s flavor.

Your guide will help you negotiate prices and find trusted local shops.
