Hurghada doesn't go to sleep early. Anyone with energy left after a day trip will find a lively evening scene — from traditional to modern.
Dining out — the best options
*Fish restaurants at the harbour* Old Hurghada harbour (Dahar district) is the top address for fresh fish. You choose your fish directly from the display, it is grilled and served with rice, salad and bread. Simple, affordable, incomparably fresh.
*Beach restaurants* Along the Corniche there are many restaurants with sea views. Evenings here are especially atmospheric — warm night air, Red Sea, good food.
*Egyptian street food in Dahar district* Old Hurghada (Dahar) is more authentic, cheaper and more lively. Here you'll find real Egyptian evening food: Hawawshi, Koshari, Ful.
**Shisha cafés** Shisha (water pipe) is as much a part of Egyptian evening culture as tea. Many cafés offer cosy outdoor seating areas. Popular flavours: apple, mint and double watermelon.
**Bazaars and shopping** Hurghada has several bazaars open in the evenings. The best buys: spices, perfume, papyrus, alabaster figurines, Galabiyyas (Egyptian robes). Tip: prices are negotiable.
**Sundowner at the harbour** A coffee or fresh juice at sunset over the harbour — a simple but perfect Hurghada experience.
