The view from our hotel to Hurghada had never been so sharp and clear..
Our French friend whom we had met here 2 years ago, goes each time when she is here to the Copt church which is the Egyptian version of the Orthodox church. I had never been there and of course was curious to see it.
We took a taxi from the hotel, and the driver was well known by our friend. So he drove us around through Hurghada and I could finally take some pictures of the city !
Restaurants, shops and apartments
The very beautiful Mosque of Hurghada
The city has changed very much and became real modern. Far away from the little town I knew 10 years ago where you could hardly walk because the streets and sidewalks were full of holes and uneven. Now it had all been renewed.

Shops all along the streets
The copt church is very beautiful and I will write about it when I am home.
And here we are at the entrance. There were quite a lot of people around, chatting it seemed to me like a meeting point to socialize.

Sorry to hear it is your last day. You will have a very cold welcome when you get home.
ReplyDeleteThat seemed to fly be, last day already. Be prepared for a cold spell.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful destination.

Lovely to see the city around! Looks like they paved the streets very nicely! I love the grand display of fruits at store front :-)
ReplyDeleteGood that you got out and about in the city! The one time years ago when we stayed at an all-in-one resort (in Puerto Vallarta Mexico) it was hard to drag ourselves away to go anywhere else, but we were glad we did it afterwards.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are dealing with your return to the cold as well as possible. It was the hottest February on record here in our part of Florida as well.
