Hurghada holidays are beginning to rival Sharm el Sheikh in terms of their popularity, thanks largely to its almost year round climate of 30 degrees. Stretching for around 35 kilometres along the Red Sea coastline, this former fishing village is split into three distinct parts. Sekalla is the city centre, Downtown (El Dahar) is the old town and El Memsha is the modern part featuring newer buildings and developments. Hurghada is perhaps best known for its diverse water sports and its nightlife – and its accessibility makes it a perfect winter as well as summer sun holiday destination.
