Brief
- Hurghada is a Red Sea resort focused on beaches, diving, snorkelling, boat trips and desert excursions. Try fresh grilled fish, seafood, sayadiya rice, koshari and fresh juices from reputable establishments.
- Travellers arriving at Hurghada normally need Egypt’s regular tourist visa; the free Sinai entry stamp does not apply. A single-entry visa is currently reported at US$30, but fees and procedures should be verified before departure (
orientdiscovery.com).
- Carry passport documents, visa funds and accommodation details in hand luggage. Passport validity of at least six months is generally required, and official visa counters are before passport control at the airport (
Safety and health
- Dengue has been reported around Hurghada and other Red Sea resorts. Use insect repellent, wear covering clothing where practical and reduce mosquito exposure, including during the daytime (

- Avoid untreated freshwater swimming or wading, particularly in rivers, canals, ponds and lakes. Use bottled water with an intact seal for drinking, and take care with ice, unpasteurised milk and drinks from uncertain sources (
wikivoyage.org).
- Comprehensive travel insurance is important because private medical care may require payment or a deposit. Healthcare is available in Hurghada, but complex treatment may require transfer to a larger centre; Egypt’s ambulance number is 123 (
- Yellow fever vaccination is not generally recommended for direct arrivals from the United States, but proof is required for travellers aged nine months or older arriving from countries with yellow fever transmission, including qualifying airport transits longer than 12 hours (
- Take care with unofficial guides, aggressive sales approaches and poorly regulated excursions. The German foreign ministry reports tourist scams and sexual assaults in resort areas, including Hurghada; use reputable operators and avoid isolated areas after dark (
