As far as Egypt’s resort cities go, Hurghada is almost impossible to top. One of the best things about it is that many of the country’s top attractions aren’t located too far away, and here are the best possible day trips that will help you enjoy your visit to the fullest.
Cairo
A visit to Egypt is incomplete if you don’t check out its capital Cairo and the Pyramids of Giza. Luckily, they’re located about five hours away from Hurghada, depending on the traffic, and you won’t struggle to find a local tour to take you there.
Giftun Island
If you’re in the mood for an amazing snorkeling and diving adventure while in Hurghada, Giftun Island is the place to be. Most people heading there choose to check out Orange Bay and spend their day enjoying an epic Red Sea adventure.
Desert Adventures
If you want to witness Egypt’s desert landscapes first-hand during your visit, you’ll have a wide range of tours to choose from, from jeep safaris and quad rides to Bedouin-style lunches.
Luxor
It takes around four hours from Hurghada to reach Luxor, and you’ll find many local companies offering tours to the heart of this city. Luxor is home to such iconic attractions as the Valley of the Kings and Karnak Temple, so you should definitely take that ride.
