31/50.- Red Sea, Hurghada

Today Hurghada is the first tourist destination in Egypt's Red Sea. The town is changing quickly. Only 15 years ago Hurghada was a small fishing village with two hotels. Today there are more than 100 hotels, several restaurants, pubs and night clubs; and many new ones are currently being built.

Hurghada's world wide fame comes from its waters. There is no aquatic sport that can not be practiced here: windsurfing, sailing, deep-sea fishing, swimming, but, above all, snorkeling and diving. During the high season (from november to february), the town is invaded by Europeans. Not bad, if we think that Hurghada was founded in the 20th century.
