Hop aboard your air-conditioned vehicle with your informed private guide and set off on your 3-hour private tour of the city. As you travel, listen as your guide talks about Hurghada and how it mushroomed from a small village in the mid-20th century to one of Egypt’s most popular Red Sea resorts. Soak up the bustle of the old city center, and visit the impressive Abdel Monaem Read Mosque, otherwise known as the Big Mosque. Admire the classical Islamic architecture as you delve into the courtyards and intricately engraved archways, and gaze up at the domes and minarets. Visit another of Hurghada’s must-sees — the Coptic Church of St Mary — and stretch your legs around the port area to take in the views. Then, drive up to the highest point in town to admire the sweeping panoramas over the resort and sparkling Red Sea. Savor a tasty lunch and afterward, dive into some of Hurghada’s best souks.
