Hurghada by Night

Until a few years ago, Hurghada was a divers’ paradise where the only entertainment around was to sit under the stars chatting away and having an odd-looking and odd-tasting beer, with somebody producing an improbable guitar or a crackling radio!  

Nowadays, Hurghada is “the” party town par excellence in the Red Sea west coast. A town that never sleeps, Hurghada has become in recent years a place to combine beach, dives and sun with crazy clubbing and bar-hopping, with some excellent “shisha” outlets to experience the local life in between.  Life could be said to begin there at night.  Nearly every hotel has its own disco.

An array of bustling bars, nightclubs, pubs and discos transform Hurghada into the Red Sea's very own party town. The pace hots up in town where there are foam parties, jungle discos and beach parties with bonfires, live bands, dancing, light shows and international DJs pumping up the volume.  Hurghada boasts the world's first Hed Kandi Beach Bar which opened in 2007.

The Local beer is Sakkara, which is normally around 14LE per 0.5l.

Cocktails average around 21LE.

There are deals to be made at certain places, I.e. Papas offer 8 Tequila shots for LE170 or 12 single of spirits + mixers for LE110.

Like everywhere, beware of rip-off prices in certain locations!!

PAPAS BEACH BAR is a very popular place in Hurghada, this is an open air dance club, beach, bar and restaurant located right on the beach. Open until until the dawn.
For the entrance, you will pay ~30LE, and for it you will get three tokens. Coffee/Juice costs 1, Beer is 2, Cocktails and alcoholic drinks 3.
After the tokens; Coffee/Juice is 7LE, Beer (Sakarra/Carlsberg) ~14LE, Imported Alcoholic drinks & Cocktails ~21LE.
At Papa's Bar and Papa's II you can pick up a free entrance pass to the beach club.  There were some good drinks specials aimed at groups and you can also order beer by the metre!

There is no dress code - everything from bikini tops and board shorts to formal evening wear seemed to get in.  You are located on the sand so the best thing is to come in sandals, not high heels!

Mr. X is a cool club opened during the day until 3 or 4 am. You can sit or lay down on fun low postured couches, have mint tea, beer, shisha of various flavours.  At around midnight, on a very small dancing podium, people start dancing, the owner himself sometimes. Mr. X has a VERY RELAXED ambience, pleasant waiters, and nice music-Latino, pop, disco, a bit of modern techno beats...
