Save Big on Flights to Hurghada and Explore Majestic Places
by Daisy Wilkinson Travel GuidesOne of Egypt's oldest and most famous resort cities,
Hurghada attracts plenty of tourists from different parts of the world every
year owing to its attractive coastline and an interesting marine life in the
Red Sea. You would find it hard to believe that it was once a tiny little
fishing village. Over the years, it has grown into one of the major tourist
destinations in the country. Most of the tourists visiting this part of the
world are from the northern parts of Europe. During your time spent in the
city, you'll get to explore some of its famous tourist attractions.
The savings made while booking your cheap flights to Hurghada can be
utilised to explore the Giftun Islands. You can get to these islands with the
help of boat excursions booked with any of the local tour operators. They have gorgeous
stretches of white sands and offer great opportunities for snorkelling. This
activity is ideal for those who do not prefer scuba diving but still want to
explore the coral reefs. Even if you paddle close to the shore, you'll come
across plenty of fish in the clear waters surrounding the islands. You can also
choose to relax on one of the island's gorgeous beaches if you do not wish to
indulge in any of these activities.
Also accessible conveniently from the city are the
Straits of Gubal. You can use the savings made while booking your flights to Hurghada in advance to make
a trip to this destination, which is one of Egypt's major diving hotspots. The
coral pinnacles spread across the strait have always been quite challenging for
the sailors in the earlier centuries. In recent times, this place has become
quite popular among many tourists for wreck diving. You'll come across the
famous wreck of The Thistlegorm, which was a cargo ship from the times of
Second World War discovered in the 1950s by Jacques Cousteau, a French diver.
Yet another interesting place you can explore with the
help of your savings made on cheap
flights to Hurghada is the Abu Nuhas Shipwreck Site. This dive site
is located north of Shadwan Island and can be explored with a diving
expedition. You'll have five shipwrecks worth exploring at this site but its
main attraction is the wreck of a British cargo ship called Carnatic, which
sunk in the year 1869. It is in an excellent condition even today with an
abundance of coral and fish life housed in its skeletal remains.
Known as 'The Aquarium', the wall dive site of Gota
Abu Ramada is also home to some fantastic marine life. If you are new to
diving, you'll benefit from the services of numerous dive operators near the
site. However, if you're an advanced or experienced diver, you can get
underwater and explore a huge variety of marine species. Among the exciting
fish species you'll encounter during your diving expedition are lionfish,
triggerfish, and clownfish. Many divers also get the opportunity to witness the
resident eagle rays.
You can also explore many other attractions during
your Hurghada
holidays.
