🇪🇬🌴 Did You Know? Hurghada is Almost 70 km Long! 🌴🇪🇬When people say “Hurghada,” they often imagine one small beach town — but actually, the city stretches for almost 70 kilometers along the Red Sea! 😮 From the stylish lagoons of El Gouna in the north to the exclusive resorts of Soma Bay in the south, Hurghada is a long, sun-kissed coastline full of contrasts, color, and coral reefs. ☀️🌊Let’s take a fun local tour — from north to south — and discover where visitors love to stay 👇

📍 El Gouna – (about 25 km north of Sheraton Street) Often called the “Venice of Egypt.” Beautiful lagoons, luxury hotels, golf, restaurants, and boutique vibes. It’s clean, organized, and calm — but a bit pricey and self-contained. 💡 25–30 minutes by car to downtown Hurghada.

📍 Ahia (Al Ahyaa) – (15–20 km north of the center) Quiet, up-and-coming, and residential. New compounds, affordable apartments, and a few small beaches. Great for long stays or digital nomads who prefer peace over nightlife. 💡 15–20 minutes drive to Sheraton Street.

📍 Dahar (Downtown Hurghada) – (10–12 km north of Sheraton Street) The oldest part of the city and full of local life! Bustling markets, small shops, Egyptian restaurants, and the main bus station. If you want to feel “real Hurghada,” this is it

💡 Not fancy, but authentic — great for exploring daily life and trying local food.

📍 Kawther District – (5–10 minutes from Sheraton Street) A favorite among locals, expats, and returning guests. Safe, walkable, full of restaurants, cafes, and supermarkets like Spinneys, Metro, and Bestway

📍 InterContinental / Village Road area – (10–15 minutes south of the center) Modern, calm, and clean.
