A++ - Qaseem and Islam picked us up on time for our Hurghada city tour and were very poilte and courteous throughout the journey. We took in the sights around the Marina, the fish market, the mosque but the highlight was sitting down in a café in the city centre to watch the world go by. They bought some really tasty falafel and coffee/ tea for us and even went above and beyond sourcing a particular garment for my daughter which was proving to find otherwise. Both were very friendly and made us feel like part of the Egyptian family. We have already decided that our next Hurghada trip will include the Luxor tour, which we sacrificed for a Cairo/ Pyramids one this time. And there will be only 1 tour operator we will use as long as we get some falafel and coffee for breakfast for the trip 😉. Thank you Qaseem and Islam for a really good time. The little one loved playing with the cats at the café.

Hurgada City Visit with Guide - Superb day in Hurgada visiting the Mosques and Marina etc We had a very knowledgable guide who was fantastic. The new Marina is superb and we had a drink in the Che Guarva bar restaurant - had a pint of Stella which was great. Stopped to get some natural herbs oils etc on the way back. Very worth doing this trip.

Dont bother - We booked through Easyjet in the UK at £13 per person other people on coach booked while in Egypt for £4.00 per person. Date was change from the Saturday to the Sunday and picked up by a TUI rep! 1/2 day tour pick up 13.30 didnt leave enough time to see marina in daylight (January ) Tour Highlights? Fish market ewww, Mosque. Coptic church complete with verbal brawl as they did not want us gatecrashing the wedding going on, 2 compulsory stops at a perfume shop and souvenir shop. Marina by night with not enough time for evening meal. By the time we got to the marina 1/2 the travelers on the coach party had decided to get taxis back to their hotels as they had had enough. Apologies if this is a different trip as seem to have good reviews...... this is the one we went on Hurghada city tour with shopping stop arranged via Musement info below Hurghada city tour with shopping stop Duration: 6 hours GUIDED TOUR Do this because Explore the Coptic church a treasure trove of ancient artifacts that tell the story of this Christian community Visit the best shops and factories in Hurghada for natural oils and perfumes Learn more about Islam, the main religion of Egypt by visiting the largest mosque in Hurghada What to expect Leave your hotel for up to 6-hour on a panoramic city tour to see the amazing Hurghada City with its fascinating nature and real local people. Hurghada was founded in the early 20th century. For many decades it was a small fishing village, but it has grown into a major Red Sea resort as a result of Egyptian and foreign investment that began in the 1980s. After being picked up from your hotel lobby, drive to visit the Coptic Church for around 20 minutes, then resume driving to the Vegetable market for also 20 minutes. After that, visit the best Gifts and souvenir shops in Hurghada and factories of natural oils and perfumes in addition to the Gift and souvenir. Continue driving to the big Mosque and surroundings for about 30 minutes. Resume driving again to Hurghada New Marine, which has recently been renovated with its new fantastic shape and spend around 30 minutes.
