Things to do in Hurghada

Just one of the many flumes at the Titanic Resort & Aquapark.There are several Aqua parks in Hurghada with the best being at the Titanic Resort.

Furthermore on the premises you will find a restaurant and a bar.

     

Glass Bottom Boat Trips: There are loads of boat trips on offer throughout all of the resorts and they can last between 1 to 3 hours. This is a great way to see the many species of fish that live in the coral just off the shore. Prices vary so check them out before booking.

 

Camel ride and Star watching in the Desert. As with the boats there are several camel (or should I say dromedary, as they only have one hump) trips on offer. Some take you in the evening for dinner under the stars around a camp fire and others take you during the day to a Bedouin camp and offer you mint tea and freshly baked bread.

     

Scuba Diving & Snorkeling: There are many opportunities for both activities BUT they should only ever be done by experienced swimmers and divers. Several "chance to learn courses" are available in the resort but this can take up a lot of your holiday time and you would do better to learn in the UK before you go. Details can be found here.

 
 
     
  Free child places available on holidays & accommodationFree child places - Holidays, Hotels & Apartments. Our dynamic search does all the hard work in sourcing holidays with free child places. It searches from self catering holidays right through to all inclusive holidays with free child places and only returns the best deal found. All you need to do is enter the childrens ages on the last day of the holiday and the database will show the best deal available. If your party includes teenagers above 11 then you must enter these as adults as the airline will charge an adult fare. If your family includes infants then excluded them in the search (i.e. don't class them as a child) but do call us before booking so that we can ensure that a cot is available. Not sure! then play safe and give us a call as you'll find us very family friendly. Read more....
