The city was founded in the early 20th century. Until a few years ago it was a small fishing village but since the 1980s has been continually enlarged by Egyptian and foreign investors to become the leading coastal resort on the Red Sea. Hurghada is known for its watersports and warm weather. Daily temperature hovers round 30 °C (86 °F) most of the year. Numerous Europeans spend their Christmas and New Year holidays in the city, mainly English, Germans, Italians and some guests from Eastern countries, like Russia, Poland etc.

It has been interesting to learn about. I had never heard of the place and I guess it is a bit like how the English holiday in Spain where the food is their own food and many things are done to make them not feel like they are in an alien country.
ReplyDeleteWhat can taste better than freshly made bread. I am still envious of being able to soak in the sunshine just watching the world go by. hope you are not too depressed now you are back home.
ReplyDeleteHi Gattina .. lovely photos and what an enormous resort ... still lots to do apparently ... possibly a good idea to spend the time away for a couple of months ... but enjoy being home .. cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great spot to holiday during the winter. The oven and breads are favourites for me. - Margy
