Cheap holidays in Hurghada

Package holidays in Hurghada are among the best in Egypt. Once a small fishing village, today Hurghada is the biggest resort on the Red Sea coast, and one of the most popular destinations for all inclusive holidays, which are particularly sought after during the winter months, as the summer heat can be sweltering for some.

We at The Co-operative Travel have cheap holidays in Hurghada tailor-made for families and couples alike.

A trip to the diving capital of the world

With everything from wreck-diving to camel safaris, Hurghada is hard to beat for activity value. Famous for its crystal clear water and beautiful coral reefs, the crescent-shaped bay has world-renowned diving facilities, with superb diving schools for beginners. For younger kids, there are safe swimming, snorkelling and boat trips.

Hurghada is a lively town – especially at night. However, there are plenty of quieter resorts nearby including Safaga, Soma Bay, Makadi Bay and El Gouna. If you tire of the beach, you can explore the magnificent Red Sea Mountain backdrop, or take an excursion to the Pyramids, Cairo or Luxor. Fishing, golf, bowling and donkey-rides are also available.

All inclusive holidays in Hurghada

Soma Bay is a quiet, more laid-back alternative to vibrant Hurghada, making it perfect for families. 60 km south of the main resort, sited on a stunning peninsula, it features clean white beaches with safe swimming, magnificent unspoilt coral reefs and some superb dive sites.

The minimum age limit for scuba diving averages 10 years, but those not old enough to dive (or who don’t want to) can still see the marine life – simply book an excursion on a glass bottom boat. Deep sea fishing, snorkelling and wind surfing are also available.

Of course, no Egyptian holiday is complete without a look at the ancient sites. Book package holidays in Soma Bay and you have Cairo and the Pyramids to the north, and Luxor and the Valley of the Kings to the south. Excursions are available to both, and some include a cruise to see the crocodiles.

Cheap family holidays at Makadi Bay

The small, self-contained resort of Makadi Bay is only 26 km from Hurghada. All inclusive holidays here verge on the luxurious – but there are some great family bargains out-of-season.

The coral growing here is environmentally-protected, but all the usual water sports – including coral diving – are available. As with Soma Bay, there are regular excursions to the ancient sites.

With our cheap family holidays, Egypt has become truly affordable. We at The Co-operative Travel have package holidays to Hurghada throughout the year, offering a magical experience for all ages.
