Is it worth taking an excursion to Hurghada (or on your own).
Is there anything interesting in the city of Hurghada that is worth seeing? If so, is it better to take a tour at a travel agency or can you do it yourself?

Of course, on your own. Or through a travel agency, if you want to go to hotels (I consider it a waste of money and time). There is nothing special to see there.

Elenako, I don’t quite agree with you (about the travel agency - yes, 100%, it’s not worth it). But about "nothing to watch" - this is a matter of interests. My friend and I rested in Madinat Makadi last winter, the hotel, although huge, quickly got bored, got acquainted with the guides, took a car and drove to the city. There are a lot of impressions: wild bazaars, cozy cafes on the embankment, incendiary parties in clubs... But it depends on how open you are to new impressions. I adore the East and Egypt (although I don't like Hurghada...), so I was satisfied with the trip to the city. But! I don’t advise young ladies to wander around the city alone - this is not a cultivated Sharm El Sheikh ...

I am with a personal security guard in the form of my husband! :) And what cafes or bars are there standing there?

Hurghada, a city that doesn’t represent anything ... dirt, garbage, good traffic all around ... it’s impossible to cross the road at all, and there’s absolutely nothing to see there ..... Once we went to the center, shopping, and then even then It turned out that the hotel prices are not at all higher!

The fact that you go to Hurghada by yourself is unambiguous. And about the fact that there is nothing to see, that’s someone who is interested. You can visit the mosque, and the Coptic church, it’s not at all like in our temples. , in my opinion, it’s better than in El Gouna. And in the evening at the Marina there is live music and the promenade is quite decent, cafes with wonderful coffee and mango ice cream (mmm), there is a wonderful pastry shop (not at the Marina). Again, for example, I’m interested climb around the old city, see how people live, from the series "scary, but fun." And in general, go and make up your mind.

In Hurghada only by yourself. BUT girls alone CANNOT !!!! Zae..ut local Arabs. In the center of shops and shops and discos. The old city is interesting, but extremely dangerous. Take a walk at Sinbad on Mamsha. But in principle - Hurghada sucks with boors residents who do not allow girls to pass even with men.

Oh, well, I read the answer of serpm77 and could not resist commenting. "Girls can't be alone" -yes, you can, you just need to dress according to local specifics, and behave accordingly. Yes, attention to Europeans is increased, but strong immunity is developed by day 3 ( not for everyone, of course). We walked and walked with my daughter, and nothing terrible happened to my girlfriend, more phrases like "how beautiful, come to my store", no one allowed himself anything.
"The old city ... extremely dangerous." .It even became interesting, how much I read reviews about Hurghada, I have never met a real case of someone being robbed, or something else. Maybe I missed something?
"... with boors residents." As old as the world wisdom - "How you treat people, so people treat you."

We went on the last day of our stay. With the guide "Teztour", in principle, nothing interesting, compared with all other excursions in Egypt. We were taken to an oil factory, to a local mosque, to a Turkish leather store with exorbitant prices, and for fruit. That's probably all, the guide said something. Not to say that it is a very exciting excursion, but for the general development it will do. Moreover, she was a gift to us - for free.

Completely agree with lady. How you treat people is how people treat you. Yes, maybe in stores and obsessive treatment and attitude. But they can be understood. They need to sell their product. And we, of course, are used to shopping, and not to go to buy something, which is why a vicious circle comes out. And I didn’t come across boors either, although they walked with a female company.

When the first 2 times I was in Egypt they took only from Teztour, in September 2008 Tez on the first day of settling in Vista gave a discount on all excursions 25% took 6-7 excursions together, this year we went 3 times (2 weeks ago when we arrived from Luna Sharma) did not make a 1% discount, we went to the Pegasus guide and there the prices were even higher and the skido was zero, although there were three of us and we wanted about 5 excursions, we went in front of the hotel in Tesco safari, the prices were low, plus we bargained for more discounts, the excursions went through all well

Often guides offer a free sightseeing tour of Khorgada - be sure to go, and then definitely on your own. Hurghada is really a city of contrasts: beautiful, clean, rich hotels side by side with poor, poor residential areas, indeed there are mountains of garbage alternating with bright flowering bushes, amazing cafes .....
