Advantages and features of a beach holiday in Hurghada
Beaches in Hurghada are famous for their fine, pleasant-to-the-touch sand—it's nice to lie on and comfortable to walk on. Beach infrastructure is quite developed, so you can find entertainment for every taste and budget.
The most expensive beaches in Hurghada are Dream Beach and Old Vic. It is always clean here, and this is strictly monitored. There are no stones or corals at the water’s edge, which means comfort and safety. But if you want to relax with children, we recommend choosing Old Vic Beach—it's not as deep, and the entry into the sea is fairly gentle and wide.
Almost all beaches in Hurghada open at 7 or 8 in the morning and close at 19:00. Keep in mind that there is always an entrance fee for each beach, while admission for children aged 6 to 8 is free.
You should know that food and drinks from elsewhere are not allowed on most beaches; all of this can be purchased from the venues available here in abundance.
