Visit the Pyramids of Giza

The complex contains the Great Pyramid of Giza, the Pyramid of Khafre, the Pyramid of Menkaure, and the Sphinx. It is one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and is protected by a mighty Sphinx. The oldest pyramid is the Great Pyramid of Khufu, which is a stunning 4,500-year-old monument. It has three chambers and can be reached via the Robbers’ Tunnel. This tunnel is approximately 27 metres long and leads to the Ascending Passage.

Snorkel in the Red Sea

Scuba diving is a great way to experience the underwater world, and there are several activities available near the Hurghada area. Bottlenose dolphins are often spotted in the shallow waters near the Dolphin House. Other areas that offer excellent snorkeling opportunities near Hurghada include Shaab El Erg and the Sunken City. Shaab El Erg is a reef system located on the north east side of El Gouna. It is a peaceful bay that offers complete collections of local animals and fish.

Windsurf

The Tommy Friedl Pro Centre in Hurghada is a good place to learn windsurfing, and it is right on the Red Sea. Beginners are prepared for their first tacks with the saltwater lake, and the sandy beach in front of the centre is a perfect place to practice. The shallow waters are ideal for waterstart students, who can use the little ramps to practice their first jumps. Freestylers can try their new skills at the numerous jumps and bumps available.
