Red Sea coast
Hurghada & Giftun Islands
الغردقة وجزر الجفتون

Hurghada grew from a fishing village into the Red Sea's largest resort town. Just offshore, the Giftun islands are part of a protected area with sandy beaches and reefs that make for popular snorkelling and boat trips. The town has a marina, a long coastline of resorts and easy access to Luxor by road.
