Villa rental Hurghada

Transformed in recent years from a small and traditional fishing village, Hurghada has managed to retain its natural and historic charm. With its year-round sunshine, and stunning scenery, above and below the water, this part of the Red Sea Riviera has long been a holiday favourite for sunbathing and world class diving. This thriving tourist hotspot is sandwiched between empty desert and crystal-clear seas, and so its shimmering sands and top-class diving are an irresistible combination when it comes to much needed relaxation. One of the world’s top diving and snorkeling destinations, the unique underwater gardens offshore are some of the finest in the world, and are ideal for many varieties of rare fish and coral reefs. Away from the sands, head downtown to Old Hurghada and capture traditional Egyptian life around the mosques and lively bazaars. This is the ultimate place for souvenir hunting and boasts a mouth-watering range of international and local restaurants. Or bask in the modern town, sprinkled with chilled out shisha cafes, bars, restaurants and classy boutiques. But if you're looking for a livelier holiday, there's a whole host of vivacious bars and vibrant nightclubs to keep you up till late.
