Hurghada Fishmarket

Hurghada Fishmarket

Andy Wagner www.hurghada-information.com
Hurghada, known in Egypt as Ghardaga, was at one time just a simple fishing village. But now, with its crystal clear water, untouched reefs and a multitude of ship wrecks, it has become one of the best Egyptian tourist destinations. The small town centre with its bazaars, mosques and lively atmosphere reflects typical Egyptian life. Further inland lie the Desert Mountains, ideal for desert tours. Most of all Hurghada offers sunshine and relaxation - all you could want for your holiday.

Also known for the extensive nightlife, clubland giants Ministry of Sound Egypt and Hed Kandi Beach Bar both operate immensely successful parties 7 nights a week, and opened from the middle of June 2008, the new Hurghada Marina Boulevard hosts over 80 shops, 15 restaurants and 7 bars, not forgetting the country's only Bungee Rocket standing proud at the Marina's entrance...

With more than 20 km of hotels along the beach, Hurghada can satisfy the needs of every visitor, from scuba-diving to windsurfing to desert safaris. One can choose from the finest 5 Star Hotels to simple Guest Houses, and everything in-between. Hurghada is world renowned as a center for some of the world's best Diving. Within a couple of hours from your hotel you can be amongst a group of islands that are the home to Dive Sites guaranteed to astound even the most experienced divers.

The offshore islands tempt the diver to discovery. Of course many other recreational activities are available. Temperature Throughout the year Hurghada has a warm and dry desert climate with a steady breeze. Summers are very hot - be sure to protect yourself against the sun. In winter the temperature lies between 20° - 25° Celsius and water temperature reaches 20° - 22° Celsius. Enjoy a delightful submarine ride nearby, to view the underwater life in a unique fashion.

Other nearby islands and destinations include the Shadwan Island (Diving, snorkeling, fishing but no swimming), Shaab Abu Shiban (Diving, snorkeling and swimming), Shaab el-Erg (Diving, fishing and snorkeling), Umm Gammar Island (Diving and snorkeling), Shasb Saghir Umm Gammae (Diving), Careless Reef (Diving), Abu Ramada Island (Diving), Shaab Abu Ramada (Fishing), Dishet el-Dhaba (Beaches and swimming), Shaab Abu Hashish (Beaches, diving, snorkeling, swimming and fishing), Sharm el-Arab (Diving, swimming and fishing and Abu Minqar Island (Beaches and swimming). http://hurghada.forum2u.org

___________History
Edit This
Hurghada was once just a tiny fisher village, with a location that seldom brought strangers here. Even in late 1970's this was the situation, but with the nature around, the clarity of the water, and the endless opportunities for divers, Hurghada was decided to become an Egyptian centre for pleasure tourism.
20 km of beach hotels is the result. Most of these hotels are organized in an attractive way, but far from the true Egypt of great monuments, traffic jams and mudbrick houses. But this makes Hurghada a successful tourist resort for divers and swimmers. Huge crowds of Egyptians, Saudis and other Arabs have since long joined the stream of Europeans and Americans coming here throughout most of the year.
There are a couple of drawbacks, though. Non-hotel beaches are not terribly great, but often crowded. While the fish life is just what you hoped for right off the beach, there are no corals here anymore. This can only be discovered by joining one of the many boat expeditions out to the nearby islands. Giftun is the largest, and lies about 10 km from Hurghada.
Hurghada is in reality three main centres and numerous self-contained tourist villages now growing into one body. To the north, lies the place that is closest to being a town, Ad-Dahar, which has more than half of the total local population, and the the most price worthy hotels and restaurants. A couple of kilometres south, comes Sigala, a place that suffers from being between Ad-Dahar and New Hurghada a few kilometres more to the south. There are some hotels here, some restaurants, but relatively few tourists. In New Hughada total tourism comes alive, offering every amenity a visitor is looking for.

Hurghada (In arabo Al Ghardaqah, الغردقة) è una città egiziana e rinomata meta turistica nel Mar Rosso.

La città venne fondata all'inizio del XX secolo, e fino agli anni 80 venne più volte ingrandita da investitori americani, europei ed arabi. Villaggi turistici e hotel di prima categoria vennero costruiti per incentivare il turismo nella zona.

Hurghada si allunga per circa 40 km lungo la costa, non inoltrandosi mai eccessivamente all'interno del deserto. La località è una meta tipica dei pacchetti vacanze all-inclusive offerti dalle agenzie viaggi europee, in particolare russe, ceche e tedesche, ma fino a pochi anni addietro era ancora un semplice villaggio di pescatori. Oggi invece ha quasi 40.000 abitanti ed è divisa in tre località principali: Downtown (El Dahar) è la parte più vecchia, Sekalla più moderna e El Korra Road l'ultima realizzata nel tempo. Sakkala consta di alcuni hotel di categoria intermedia, a Dahar vi sono il bazaar, l'ufficio postale e la stazione dei bus.

La città è servita dall'Aeroporto Internazionale di Hurghada, con traffico aereo proveniente dal Cairo e da tutta l'Europa.

Hurghada è divenuta un centro internazionale per gli sport acquatici come il windsurfing, la vela, la pesca d'altura, il nuoto e, soprattutto, per lo snorkeling e la subacquea. Il fondale marino lussureggiante è uno dei più belli al mondo, ben conosciuto tra i subacquei, ideale per l'attività grazie alle temperature miti dell'acqua e alla sua limpidezza.
