What to see and do
Start with a morning walk through El Dahar, then spend the afternoon at the beach or on a boat trip. In the evening, walk by the marina and choose a café along the promenade.
With daytime highs around 28 °C, morning is the easier time for a long walk through open streets. Save Hurghada Museum on Al-Nasr Street for the middle of the day.
Swimming conditions
The sea averages about 23 °C, cooler than in summer but warmer than in March. Add beach time to your daily plans and set aside a separate day for a boat trip to snorkelling spots.
Air temperatures drop after sunset, so bring a light layer for the trip back from the beach and dinner.
Planning around the month
The average daytime high is about 27.5 °C early and midway through April, rising to 29.1 °C late in the month. Keep city walks for the morning; the remaining hours suit beach time and relaxing by the water.
Pack light clothes, a hat, sun protection and comfortable shoes for El Dahar.
Precipitation and an alternative plan
There are relatively few days with precipitation. Build your plans around walks and keep an indoor activity for a wet-weather day.
What to pack
Light breathable clothes, a hat, sunglasses and a water bottle will be useful.
Compared with neighbouring months
Average daytime high: previous month — 24.8 °C, April — 28.0 °C, next month — 31.6 °C. Days with at least 1 mm of precipitation: 0.1, 0.0 and 0.1.
Things to do
Plan Hurghada in separate areas: El Dahar, the marina and promenade, then a day at sea from the port or coastal resort. Walk in the morning or before sunset, and plan a reef trip as a separate outing.
Boat trip and snorkelling
Choose a snorkelling stop at Little Magawish or Shaab Sakala. Ask the organiser about the meeting point and trip length, and keep the day for the sea.
Museum and city history
Hurghada Museum covers Egyptian history and is on Al-Nasr Street. After your visit, walk around El Dahar or head to the marina.
Desert trip
Choose an organised desert trip with transport. Set aside a separate day so you do not have to rush back for a boat excursion.
Where to stay
El Dahar
This old town area offers a look at everyday Hurghada and its local market. Make it a separate walk and allow time to travel back to the hotel coast.
Marina and promenade
The marina and tourist promenade suit an evening café visit and a walk by the water. It is an easy city route after a day at sea.
Resort coast
Beach hotels and resort areas line the coast. Consider the distance to the marina and old town when choosing where to stay; visit these areas on separate outings.
Getting to and around Hurghada
Arrange a transfer or taxi from the airport to your hotel. El Dahar, the marina and the resort beaches are in different areas, so give them separate days. For a boat trip, agree the meeting point with the organiser and keep the day free for the sea.
Three days in Hurghada
El Dahar and the market
Start in the older part of Hurghada with a walk around El Dahar and the local market, leaving time for lunch. Return to your hotel after the warm part of the day or head to the marina. Keep a longer boat excursion for another day.
The museum and marina
Spend the first part of the day at Hurghada Museum, take a break, then walk around the marina in the evening. This combines a cultural visit with the waterfront without spending the whole day in the sun.
A day on the Red Sea
Set aside a full day for a boat trip to Little Magawish or Shaab Sakala. Agree the meeting point and duration with the organiser, then leave the evening free for a relaxed dinner.
