3-4 days touring the city’s various attractions is a solid amount of time. However, most tourists are long term visitors, spending a week in the warm climate during their home nation’s winter season. For a full breakdown of what your itinerary would look like, get in touch with our Egypt private local tour guides.

Yes. Unlike other areas in Egypt, like Cairo, where dressing is more conservative, Hurghada is known as a tourist region with many international travelers and five star resorts. So shorts are completely acceptable, especially when in the hotel or on the beach. If you’re a woman and you feel uncomfortable, a beach sarong or wrap is perfectly acceptable. 

Yes! That’s one of the most popular activities in this Red Sea resort area. The water is extremely salty and very warm, making it great for swimming and sea activities. The underwater environment is also rich, with areas like the Gubral Straits, perfect for sea explorers. 

Though present, mosquitos aren't as menacing in the daytime. The wind and weather along the Red Sea discourage massive numbers during the dry, hot season. They do exist, however, so precautions are necessary. Avoid harassment on your trip by doing the following;

- Try to stay away from stagnant water sources. 

- Apply reliable mosquito repellent during the day, especially if you're going to wear shorts and short-sleeved shirts. 

- Stay away from open latrines.

To be on the safe side, don't. Egypt's water is treated in most regions like Cairo, and Hurghada caters to international visitors. However, it's best to stick to bottled water as it takes a long time for your stomach to adjust to another country's water properties.
