Hurghada
131 tours available

Hurghada is Egypt's original Red Sea resort town, built along a coastline of coral reefs, shipwrecks, and calm turquoise bays. It's the country's main hub for snorkeling, scuba diving, and boat excursions to nearby islands like Giftun and Orange Bay, alongside desert safaris into the surrounding Eastern Desert.
Marsa Alam
Marsa Alam

Marsa Alam is a quieter stretch of Red Sea coastline south of Hurghada, prized for pristine, less-crowded reefs and some of Egypt's best chances to swim with dolphins, sea turtles, and dugongs at spots like Abu Dabbab and Sataya Reef.

Egypt Travel FAQ

What's the best time of year to visit Egypt?
October through April is the most comfortable window, with cooler daytime temperatures across the Nile Valley and desert regions. The Red Sea coast (Hurghada, Marsa Alam, Sharm El Sheikh) stays warm and diveable almost year-round, including the summer months.
Do I need a visa to visit Egypt?
Most nationalities can obtain a visa on arrival or apply for an e-visa online before traveling. Requirements vary by nationality, so check your country's specific entry requirements with the nearest Egyptian embassy or consulate before you book.
Which Egyptian destination should I visit first?
It depends on what you're after: Cairo and Giza for the Pyramids and ancient history, Hurghada or Marsa Alam for Red Sea diving and beach resorts, and Luxor or Aswan for temples and Nile scenery. Many travelers combine a Red Sea base with day trips or a short Nile Valley extension.
How do I travel between Egyptian cities?
Domestic flights connect the main hubs quickly, while private transfers and organized day trips are the most common way to reach nearby sites from a Red Sea or Nile Valley base. See our Transfers page for real routes and fixed prices between cities.
Is Egypt safe for tourists?
Egypt's main tourist destinations — the Red Sea resorts, Cairo/Giza, Luxor, and Aswan — are well-established, heavily visited areas with a long-running tourism infrastructure. As with any trip abroad, check your own government's latest travel advisories before you go.
