Highlights of the Private Hurghada City Tour:
- Viewpoint — From one of the highest points in the city, you see the whole bay of Hurghada and the Red Sea. This makes it easier to get your bearings before exploring the districts on foot.
- Marina — The tourist heart of the city, with yachts, cafés and restaurants. It is also the starting point for many sea trips, from glass-bottom boats to diving.
- El Dahar district — Discover Hurghada's old town on a walk through the bustling souk with clothes, spices and souvenirs, and the fruit and vegetable market buzzing with local life.
- Coptic church — One of the oldest in the city. This Orthodox church reflects the presence of Christians in Egypt, who make up a significant part of the country's population.
- Grand mosque by the sea — Recognisable by its modern architecture and minarets visible from many districts. Outside prayer times, it welcomes respectful visitors.
- Fish market — Morning auctions and colourful stalls showcase local fishing, the trade Hurghada was built on long before tourism arrived.

About the Private Hurghada City Tour
Most city tours end in souvenir shops and at the same viewpoints. Here, it is the other way round. You get to know Hurghada as it really is, from the fish market to the narrow lanes of the old district. You are guided by a local English-speaking tour guide who knows the city inside out.
The tour is private, so you set the pace. If you want to stay longer somewhere, you simply stay. What’s more, there is no waiting for a group and nobody rushes you.
Why Choose a Private Hurghada City Tour?
Above all, you see the real life of the city, not just hotel beaches. The tour also starts in the afternoon, so you can relax by the sea in the morning. It lasts about five hours, so it works well even on a short stay. Transfers, entrance tickets and a drink at a local café are included. Children also receive attractive discounts. Sharara Tours takes care of the organisation, so all you need to do is choose a date. Discover more Hurghada excursions.
