Hurghada isn’t just hotels, beaches, and tourist spots as most visitors believe!!!
Indeed, there’s so much more to Hurghada than meets the eye.
Approximately 150 years ago, it was merely a small fishing village with a tiny population. There was a tree-called Ghrdak, which later gave the city its name - Hurghada.
In the past 40 years, Hurghada has transformed into one of Egypt’s prime holiday destinations.
