Excursion Description
Private Hurghada City Tour — a relaxed city tour in a private car with a Russian-speaking guide. This format is great if you want to see Hurghada without a large group, choose the stops that interest you, and skip the places you don't need.
In a few hours you'll see the city's main spots: the grand mosque, the Coptic cathedral, the Marina waterfront, the fish and fruit markets, and shops selling sweets, souvenirs, oils, and spices. The route can be adjusted along the way: the guide will suggest the best places for photos, buying fruit, picking out gifts, or stopping at a pharmacy.
This excursion is especially good for a first look at the resort. You'll learn where the nicest places for a walk are, where you might come back on your own in the evening, and where to get the best prices on fruit, sweets, and souvenirs without an inflated tourist markup.
