All about Hurghada

When to Visit

Hurghada enjoys a sunny climate all year round, making it a great destination at any time. However, the best months to visit are between October and April when temperatures are pleasantly warm, ranging from 20-30°C (68-86°F). This period is ideal for outdoor activities like diving, snorkeling, or exploring the desert. The summer months (May to September) can be quite hot, with temperatures exceeding 40°C (104°F), but the sea breeze often provides some relief, especially by the coast.

Getting Around

Getting around Hurghada is easy and affordable. Many resorts and hotels are centrally located, so you can explore nearby attractions on foot. For longer distances, taxis and minibusses are widely available and cost-effective. Ride-hailing apps like Uber and Careem also operate in the area, offering a convenient option. For a unique experience, consider taking a traditional horse-drawn carriage ride through town.

Traveler Tips

To make the most of your trip, pack light, breathable clothing and bring plenty of sunscreen to protect yourself from the strong sun. If you plan to explore underwater, consider bringing or renting snorkeling or diving gear. Stay hydrated, as the dry climate can be dehydrating, and avoid drinking tap water—bottled water is widely available. Don’t miss out on exploring nearby attractions like Giftun Island or the colorful Souk El Dahar for a taste of local culture. Finally, always carry some cash in Egyptian pounds, as smaller vendors may not accept cards.
