Itinerary and Overviews:

> DAY 1 - 4: (Arrive Hurghada) (View Hotel Options)

Hurghada, known in Egypt as Ghardaga, was at one time just a simple fishing village. But now, with its crystal clear water, untouched reefs and a multitude of ship wrecks, it has become one of the best Egyptian tourist destinations. The small town centre with its bazaars, mosques and lively atmosphere reflects typical Egyptian life. Further inland lie the Desert Mountains, ideal for desert tours. Most of all Hurghada offers sunshine and relaxation - all you could want for your holiday.

Also known for the extensive nightlife, clubland giants Ministry of Sound Egypt and Hed Kandi Beach Bar both operate immensely successful parties 7 nights a week,  and opened from the middle of June 2008, the new Hurghada Marina Boulevard hosts over 80 shops, 15 restaurants and 7 bars, not forgetting the country's only Bungee Rocket standing proud at the Marina's entrance.
