Hurghada | A Dream Vacation Guide to Egypt's Red Sea Coast

| A dream vacation guide to Egypt's Red Sea Coast. Hurghada is definitely a hidden gem worth adding to your travel bucket list! I just got back from a trip there and put together a super detailed guide, hoping to help those of you planning to go~ Preparation • Documents: Passport (make sure it's valid for at least six months after your planned travel dates), visa. Egypt offers various visa types for Chinese tourists, so you can apply in advance based on your situation. • Clothing: Hurghada has a hot climate, especially scorching in summer. Pack light, breathable clothing such as shorts, short-sleeved shirts, and long skirts. Also, remember to bring sun-protective clothing, hats, and sunglasses for sun protection. Additionally, dress modestly when visiting religious sites like mosques; long sleeves and pants are required. • Other items: High-SPF sunscreen, after-sun repair masks and lotions, common medications (such as gastrointestinal medicine, cold medicine, motion sickness medicine, etc.), and a travel adapter (Egyptian sockets are European round-hole type). Attractions • Red Sea Beaches: Hurghada boasts world-class Red Sea beaches, where the seawater displays a mesmerizing gradient from light blue to deep blue. The white sand is fine and soft. Here, you can sunbathe, snorkel, or scuba dive to see the colorful coral reefs and tropical fish up close, experiencing the wonders of the Red Sea's underwater world. • Sindbad Diving Center: This is paradise for diving enthusiasts. They offer professional diving courses and equipment rentals, led by experienced instructors, so even beginners can explore the underwater world with peace of mind. • Hurghada Desert: Besides the ocean, the desert is another major feature of Hurghada. Join a desert safari and experience the thrill of speeding over sand dunes. You can also admire the beautiful sunset at a desert camp, taste local specialties, and experience the life of the Bedouin people. Food Recommendations • Roasted Lamb: Egyptian roasted lamb has a unique flavor. The meat is tender and juicy, and when paired with special sauces, it tastes amazing. • Kushari: This is a traditional Egyptian dish made with a mix of rice, noodles, lentils, onions, and tomato sauce. It has a rich flavor, so be sure to try it. • Freshly Squeezed Juice: Local fruits are abundant, and freshly squeezed juices are cheap and delicious. Mango, orange, and watermelon juices are all worth a try. Transportation Guide • External Transportation: Generally, you'll first arrive at Cairo International Airport and then transfer to Hurghada International Airport. You can also choose to take a long-distance bus, but it takes longer. • Internal Transportation: Taxis are a convenient way to get around Hurghada, but be sure to negotiate the price in advance to avoid being overcharged. Renting a motorcycle is also a good option for convenient and independent travel. For more distant attractions, you can join local tour groups that offer transportation services. My trip to Hurghada was truly unforgettable, with its stunning beaches, mysterious desert, and unique cuisine. Guys, why not come and experience its passion and charm? I believe you'll have a wonderful time💕
