Arriving at Hurghada Airport (HRG)
Hurghada International is just a few kilometres from the city, and most resorts are within 20 to 40 minutes by car. Many hotels include transfers, and taxis and ride apps are also available.
Data tip: turn on AloOui as you land and message your hotel or transfer driver before you leave the terminal.
Diving and snorkelling in the Red Sea
Hurghada is one of Egypt's main bases for the Red Sea, with coral reefs, dive centres and boat trips leaving every morning from the marina. The Giftun Islands are a favourite snorkelling day trip.
Data tip: keep your boat departure time and meeting point on your phone, and use a waterproof pouch on board. Signal drops further out at sea.
Where you'll use your data around Hurghada
- Hurghada Marina: restaurants, cafés and the departure point for most boat trips
- El Gouna: a lagoon town to the north with kitesurfing and waterfront dining
- Makadi Bay and Sahl Hasheesh: resort bays to the south with house reefs
- The desert: quad bike and jeep safaris to Bedouin camps at sunset
Day trips to Luxor
Luxor is around four hours by road, and day trips visit the Valley of the Kings and Karnak Temple before returning in the evening.
Data tip: these are long, early days, so bring a power bank and save your tour details offline for the desert stretches.
