A summer day in Hurghada
Start on the beach or take a boat trip. Plan a break at your hotel in the middle of the day and save a walk by the marina for the evening.
If you want to see El Dahar and its market, set aside a separate morning. Hurghada Museum on Al-Nasr Street offers an indoor change of pace during the hottest hours.
Swimming and snorkelling
The sea averages about 27 °C, warmer than in spring. You can plan to swim daily and add a boat trip to the reefs as a separate outing.
Bring water and sun protection for your head. Allow for travel between your hotel, the port and city districts, especially if a boat trip starts in the morning.
Planning around the heat
The average daytime high rises through July: about 34 °C early in the month, 35 °C midway and 35.2 °C late. Put longer walks in the early morning and spend midday by the water or indoors.
Bring light clothes for dinner by the marina, but avoid a long walk there after a beach day; travelling by vehicle will save your energy.
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
Pack light loose clothing, a hat, sunglasses and a water bottle.

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.
