Stop 1

A breathtakingly stunning location to enjoy. The marina, located in the heart of Hurghada, has a large boardwalk with a variety of restaurants, stores, amusement activities, and tour operators. This breathtaking sea view avenue is located close to Sheraton Road, the main roadway in the Sakala neighborhood. It was built in 2008 and is centered on a harbor with 200 berths and encircled by Marina Boulevard, a lovely boulevard lined with palm trees, parks and ochre-colored stores and apartment buildings. The marina has numerous shopping, dining, and entertainment opportunities. The fish market and El Mina Mosque are located next to the Marina. The fish market is the nearest attraction to Marina. El Mina Mosque is one of the most attractive sights in Hurghada, and it is best to visit during the day.

In terms of architecture, El Mina Mosque is one of the most well-known and beautiful mosques in the Red Sea governorate. El Mina (or Al Mina) Mosque was constructed in 1968. However, the old structure was recently replaced by a new one. The new building's construction began in 2006. In comparison, the government opened this new building in 2012, with a capacity of 9000-10000 worshippers. The lovely mosque is situated in the heart of Hurghada, close to the Hurghada Marina and the Hurghada Shipyard. The Mosque was constructed entirely of pure white marble. This magnificent structure has two magnificent minarets, each about 40 meters high. The building's facades are also adorned with traditional, oriental ornaments and carvings. The mosque's interior is magnificent, with magnificent chandeliers hanging elegantly from the ceiling, complex arches, carved and engraved walls, and a dome 25 meters high.

Hurghada's old town is its main attraction. You will visit this market each time you are in El Dahar, Hurghada. There's plenty to do and see. The atmosphere is distinct. There's nowhere else in Hurghada like it. It is the area of the city with the most character. You could easily lose hours there perusing the regional spices and produce. Fresh and organic fruits and vegetables are available. Visit El Dahar Market to see and experience the real Egypt.

It's a fantastic opportunity to uncover this hidden gem of a church in the heart of Hurghada. After a long day of sightseeing, take a seat and allow your gaze roam over the lovely front alter, up over the white ceiling and arches, to rest on the wooden benches with inlaid and pierced aisle "gates." Close your eyes and relax. Listen to the nightly chant and the prayers of the people. It's serene and lovely. The security guards at the gate are only there to keep everyone safe. A tiny gift shop sells a variety of religious things. It's definitely worth a look.

5

Now, it's the time to visit the local fruits and vegetables market. The new market was built to provide all the Egyptian household's food needs, from vegetables and fruits to meat and chicken. The space is carefully organized and clean to suit all segments of Hurghada's residents, both Egyptians and foreigners. Everyone can certainly buy all their needs at local prices.
