Discover the town

Hurghada City Tour: Marina, Old Town and Bazaar

Hurghada is more than its hotels. A city tour shows you the town where people live, pray and shop: the Marina with its yachts and cafés, the big El Mina Mosque by the harbour, the old district of El Dahar with its market streets, and the modern centre and seaside promenade. It's a relaxed half day or evening, and a good way to find your favourite places for later in the holiday.

Tell us when you'd like to go and how many you are, and we'll send you the plan and the price.

What you see on a Hurghada city tour

We can shape the tour around you: more time for photos, a stop for coffee, or less shopping.

  • Hurghada Marina: the smart harbour full of yachts, with restaurants, cafés and shops along the water. Lovely in the evening.
  • El Mina Mosque: the large mosque by the port with its tall minarets, one of the town's landmarks.
  • El Dahar: the old town, with narrow market streets, spice and perfume shops, fabric stalls and local cafés.
  • The bazaar: souvenirs, spices, cotton and papyrus; bargaining is part of the fun.
  • Sakkala and the seaside promenade: the modern centre, with shops and restaurants, and a long walkway by the sea.

Day or evening?

In the evening the air is cooler, the Marina lights up and the market streets are busy, which is why many people prefer it, especially from May to October. A daytime tour suits families with small children and anyone who wants to see the mosque and the old town in daylight.

Good to know

  • Visiting a mosque: cover shoulders and knees; women usually cover their hair. Your guide will tell you when visits are possible
  • Bargaining is normal in the bazaar: start lower and keep it friendly
  • Nobody has to buy anything. If you'd rather skip the shops, just tell us
  • Carry some small notes in Egyptian pounds for coffee, tips and small purchases

Eat like a local

The old town and the Marina are full of places to eat, from simple grills and fish restaurants to cafés with Egyptian sweets. Our Hurghada food guide lists the dishes to try, and the Hurghada travel guide covers money, safety and getting around.

Hurghada City Tour: questions and answers

Usually the Marina, El Mina Mosque by the harbour, the old town of El Dahar and its bazaar, and the modern centre and seaside promenade. We can adapt the stops to what you like.
A few hours, by day or in the evening, including pickup at your hotel.
Visitors are usually welcome outside prayer times if dressed modestly: shoulders and knees covered, and women usually cover their hair. Your guide will tell you when a visit is possible.
Many people prefer the evening: it's cooler, the Marina lights up and the markets are lively. A daytime tour is better for photos of the old town and for small children.
It depends on the group size and whether you'd like a private tour. Send us your date, the number of people and your hotel, and we'll reply with the price.
