In the evening, head to the New Marina—a lively waterfront area lined with restaurants, shops, and cafes. You can enjoy Egyptian cuisine, fresh seafood, or international dishes while watching the yachts. It’s safe, clean, and great for a walk after dinner. Perfect for couples and families looking for a relaxed, scenic night out.

4. Go on a Desert Safari Adventure

Want something more thrilling? Book a quad biking or camel safari into the nearby Eastern Desert. Tours often include Bedouin camp visits and dinner under the stars. These desert adventures give you a break from the beach and a deeper connection to Egypt’s landscape and culture. Many safaris pick up right outside your apartment.

Dive into local culture by visiting Dahar, Hurghada’s old town. It’s a short ride from your holiday apartment and offers bustling markets, spice shops, and souvenirs at fair prices. Practice your bargaining skills or just enjoy the atmosphere. Don’t miss the Hurghada Mosque for a quick cultural photo stop too.
