Hurghada is more than beaches and pools. Anyone who takes one of the following day trips will experience Egypt in all its depth.
**1. Luxor — The Valley of the Kings** Just four hours from Hurghada lies ancient Luxor. The Valley of the Kings holds over 60 pharaonic tombs, including the legendary tomb of Tutankhamun. Add the Karnak Temple and Hatshepsut's temple — a day that lasts a lifetime.
**2. Cairo — Pyramids and Sphinx** A long but unforgettable day: drive from Hurghada to Cairo, stand before the Pyramids of Giza, and look the Sphinx in the eye. If you like, also visit the Egyptian Museum or the Khan el-Khalili bazaar.
**3. Desert Safari — Pure Sahara** Quad, buggy or camel — the desert behind Hurghada offers breathtaking dune landscapes. In the evening, a campfire glows at the Bedouin camp, and the starry sky over the Sahara is simply incredible.
**4. Dolphin House — Dolphins in the Wild** By speedboat in 30 minutes to one of the most beautiful snorkelling spots in the Red Sea. Dolphins playfully approaching the boat — this is not a zoo, this is nature.
**5. Orange Bay — Paradise Beach** Your own island in the Red Sea, white sand, crystal-clear water. For everyone who just wants to unwind after three days of culture.
