Even if you're not a diver you can still enjoy close up underwater encounters on a Sindbad Submarine ride. Descending to 22 metres the yellow submarine offers views of the coral reef, copious marine life and even an artificial sunken shipwreck - all from the comfort of your individual porthole in the main cabin.
Camel / Jeep Safaris: There are many ways to discover the beauty hidden in wadis and mountains. Whether by camel, 4x4 jeep or quads, desert safaris and day trips take you to unforgettable adventures, guaranteed to take your breath away.
Hiking and trekking in the desert is within range of everybody, provided that you go with experienced guides and follow their advice – most excursions to the desert include an easy walk accessible even to the less fit. Most desert trips include the visit to a typical Bedouin settlement, where you will be shown how this nomad people lives in harmony with its very harsh land.
GoKarts: For those who want to spend an adrenaline-filled afternoon, there are some exciting go kart rinks in town, with karts for all ages and evening sessions – ideal to close a lazy day by the beach!
Horse and camel riding is another favourite in Hurghada. For camel rides don't give more than 10LE (usually 2 LE will be enough). The slow pace and relaxing motion of the animals let you enjoy at best the stunning beauty of coast and desert. Horses and camels can be hired in most hotels – some of them have also specialised stables where you can learn or practise this ancient sport, with horses for beginners and for experienced riders.
Bowling: And if all this is too exciting, why not spend some time at the nice air-conditioned bowling club Ebb & Tide. Serving soft drinks and snacks, it makes for a fun filled afternoon with your friends.
Golf: A much sought-after activity in Hurghada is golfing, with two beautiful seaside golf courses at a short drive from town. Both offer lessons for adults and children alike – a great idea to spend a day with the family enjoying the greenery and the stunning landscapes of both clubs.
Shopping: Make sure you experience the local shops and bring yourself a souvenir home. The best buys in Hurghada are Papyrus or the traditional Egyptian 'shisha pipes. At just 5 hrs from the UK, you are just one short flight from paradise.
