Hurghada Museum & City Tour With Private transportation - Hurghada

Today's outing is as varied as an Egyptian buffet! Head for Hurghada's fish market, with its 100% iodine atmosphere and stalls that shine almost as bright as the scales on the sea bream. Right next door, it's impossible to miss the magnificent El Mina mosque, the second largest in the country, all white and elegant. We then took a short break at the marina to sip a drink with other tourists in the shade of the palm trees and admire the yachts. Afterwards, we took advantage of the view over the public beach to capture a few shots and selfies - between the golden sand and turquoise sea, the setting was perfect ????. We ended the walk with a visit to Hurghada's Egyptian Museum. A nice surprise, modern and well presented, perfect to round off this afternoon between tradition, sunshine and fresh fish. On the plus side: The cherry on the tajine: my young guide Mak, 27, spoke excellent French, full of humour, curious and well-informed. He shared relevant anecdotes while asking me mischievous questions. A rich, lively and, frankly, very enjoyable afternoon. The downside: As on my last trip to Hurghada, the guide did his "nice little diversions" thing again... which led us straight to a souvenir shop. The atmosphere was one of flying carpets and inflated prices. The sales assistant, very fluent in French (and flattering), was a self-proclaimed "personal adviser" - in other words, a wallet hunter disguised as a benevolent friend. Except that tourist shopping isn't really my thing... I was just curious to see the objects on display, not to leave with an extra suitcase. They looked like Swiss boutique prices... Clearly, the perfect combo for tourist-grabbers, with probably a commission option for the guide as a bonus. In short, I didn't fall for it this time. See you next time! ???? ????

Lovely tour to see the marina with a walk along the waterfront. We visited the fish market before stopping at The largest mosque in Hurghada. Mushy our guide gave us info about Islam, the main religion of Egypt. We then visited the oldest Coptic church in the city before going to the Hurgarda Museum which was much bigger and better than we expected. Mushy’s knowledge in the museum made it more interesting and gave us a better understanding. There was a stop in between to a cafe for refreshments, we opted not to stay. Instead Mushy bought us refreshment to have on the journey to a market type shop that sold lots of interesting and different things. Mushy and the driver were very nice and kept in contact prior to the trip re pick up time.

Super schöner Ausflug! Das Museum ist großartig, der Fischmarkt war super. Genauso der Obstmarkt. Der Touristenführer war mega nett und hat alles super erklärt! Immer wieder gerne!
