Hurghada: A Magical Land from Childhood Dreams
Let’s see Hurghada through the eyes of children
Do you also see a fairytale place where the sun warmly embraces the land all year round, the waves of the Red Sea rock pirate ships and conceal precious treasures of the underwater kingdom, the desert dunes beckon for adventures, and every day turns into little celebration with colorful water slides and heaps of fruits and ice cream? Tempted to make this vision a reality?
Our children certainly deserve it. And wouldn’t it be great for adults to relax a bit and let their inner child run free? So, shall we head to Hurghada? With us, it’s as simple as can be.
WHAT TO DO WITH KIDS IN HURGHADA?
We all know that the sea, sun, and hotel treats will keep kids entertained for a few days, but soon enough – hello, thirst for adventures and discoveries! After all, we were just like that ourselves. That’s why we’ve already prepared a rescue plan for parents – one that’s also the perfect itinerary for a family vacation in Hurghada.
- Bathyscaphe and Sindbad Submarine. A fantastic opportunity to explore the underwater world of the Red Sea in comfort. The submarine descends to a depth of up to 25 meters to a vibrant half-kilometer reef! The bathyscaphe windows can magnify objects up to 6 meters, allowing you to admire all the shades of fish and coral colors.
- Grand Aquarium. One of the largest aquariums in Africa, and the first in the world to gather such an enormous collection of Red Sea flora and fauna. Here, you can see over 1,200 animals from more than a hundred species, take a walk through a tunnel with sharks, explore a tropical forest and the Valley of Whales, where the oldest members of the species once lived, and learn about Bedouin traditions.
- Adrenaline Safari. As you might have guessed, the program is packed with thrilling emotions. Adrenaline and excitement from desert safari on jeeps, a relaxing tea ceremony by the Bedouins in a picturesque oasis, baking traditional bread with desert nomads, a sunset over the sand dunes, a BBQ dinner in an authentic Bedouin tent, and star-gazing with fascinating stories from an astronomer.
- Sailing on a real pirate sailing ship. Full sails and dry powder! We’re setting off on a sea adventure! There will be two snorkeling stops at picturesque coral reefs along the way. The rest of the time – sunbathe and have fun with the animators onboard.
- Makadi Bay Mini Egypt. How long would it take to visit the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, the Luxor Temple, the Alexandria Lighthouse, the Roman Theater, and the Mosque of Muhammad Ali? Definitely not just one trip. But in the miniature park in Hurghada, you can see about 50 landmarks of Egypt in one day.
