A week in Hurghada: four ways to plan it
The sea, the desert, the children or the pharaohs: four week-long programmes, each built from day trips you could book one by one, with free days left between them.
A week is long enough to see a lot of Hurghada and short enough to waste on deciding. Each of these programmes is a set of day trips you could book one at a time; booked together they cost less, and each trip still includes everything its own page says.
For the sea: Red Sea Week
Red Sea Week is five days on the water and four different islands — Orange Bay, Bianka, Paradise and Mahmya — with the dolphin reef at Shaab El Erg in the middle of them. Four islands in one week is more than most people see in a fortnight, and each is a genuinely different kind of day.
For the desert: Desert Week
Desert Week is five afternoons in the desert behind Hurghada, each riding something different: quads, then the quad run with dinner and a fire show, then a camel, then an hour on horseback, and the family afternoon to finish. Mornings stay free.
For the children: Family Fun Week
Family Fun Week is chosen by what children actually ask for: the aquarium, the dolphin show, Mini Egypt, a full day of slides, and the city tour on the last afternoon. None of the five starts early — they all leave at ten — which over five days is the difference between a holiday and a schedule.
For the pharaohs: Ancient Egypt Week
Ancient Egypt Week is Luxor and Cairo in the same week, both in a fourteen-seat minibus rather than a coach, with the Grand Egyptian Museum on the Cairo day and a Hurghada afternoon between them. Three trip days leave room to do nothing on the others, which you will want: both long days start before dawn. Bring your passport.
Every programme can also be booked for your group alone. The rest of the multi-day programmes are on the trips page under Packages.
