Hurghada Dive Resorts

The Egyptian diving resort Hurghada sits on the mainland, almost directly opposite Sharm in the Sinai. The oldest of the Egyptian holiday resorts, Hurghada has evolved into a modern scuba diving destination with plenty to see and do. Scuba Travel have carefully selected first class hotel and dive centre holiday packages so you can enjoy this stretch of stunning Red Sea coastline from a prime location and families are always welcome. With restaurants of every kind in the town, you are never short of options and there are some brilliant bars and cafes with long standing reputation. Luxor is a day trip away for the more adventurous or ride into the desert for awesome views. Even when you are not diving, there is never a dull moment in Hurghada.

Snorkelers and divers can enjoy a week with bags of variety. The gorgeous reefs in and around Giftun island are a must see on any itinerary for the big gorganians and scenic drift dives. Shaab El Erg attracts bottlenose dolphins and is a lovely dive to boot. Trigger fish, blue spotted sting rays and grouper are frequent visitors to the shallower reefs, ideal for training dives. Erg Somaya is an adrenalin fueled drift dive, sweeping past giant gorgonian sea fans. Wreck divers cannot resist the lure of Abu Nuhas, where no less than 4 wrecks have met their watery ends. Hurghada also hosts one of Egypt's few artificial reefs - a deep wreck sunk for technical training dives. It is easy to see why Hurghada remains one of Egypt's most enduring resorts.

We had a fab week in Egypt and would not hesitate to recommend Scuba Travel - fantastic service !

There is no wrong time to visit Egypt and the Red Sea is just as alluring all year round. The winter air and water temperatures do nto drop below 21 degrees as a rule and the water is a toasty 29 in the summer months. Hurghada is always popular during the school holidays so do make sure you book well in advance to get the best deal possible.

Scuba Travel Tips

Hurgada is a brilliant choice for non divers or families with plenty for everyone to do. If you plan to snorkel from the dive boats, remember to prebook this as it is usually cheaper than paying in resort.
