Once a remote sleepy fishing and oil extraction village, Hurghada has become during the past years one of the most vibrant, lively and busy beachside resort towns of the Red Sea Riviera. Merging the old with the new, Hurghada boasts some of the finest hotel chains in Sekala and the tourist district south of it, and the sights, smells and sounds of El-Dahar, a lively hub of everyday Egyptian life, making it one of the Red Sea Riviera destinations with the strongest local flavour. Holidays in Hurghada can go from the romantic getaway in one of the upscale hotels, to the action-packed sports holiday, and have a bit for everybody.
At the southernmost tip of the Sinai Peninsula, where the gulf of Suez meets the gulf of Aqaba, we find Sharm el Sheikh, one of the most popular destinations for scuba divers and sun-worshippers of the Red Sea Riviera. Sharm el Sheikh is home to some of the world's greatest reef dives, Shark and Yolanda reef, in the Red Sea’s Ras Mohammed National Park. At the same time, this stunning coastal town has a very strong nightlife heart, offering great clubbing and excellent dining, and has become one of the busiest and liveliest towns of the Red Sea Riviera.
