It has become one of the best Egyptian tourist destinations. A significant part of its celebrity Hurghada gained as one of the finest diving centers of the world. Like all oriental towns Hurghada make living out of trade, so if when you walk along the city, be prepared to beat off the pressing offers of the sellers, deserving to make you purchase their souvenirs. There are some more entertainments except shopping and diving in Hurghada. You can make a jeep trip to a desert, visit Bedouin’s village there ; you can see corals and some natural preserves. Hurghada is also has aqua-park. Fishing is one of the popular tourist’s’s activities in Hurghada too. Today, Hurghada is understood as a party town, especially among europeans. Locals and others will tell you that life starts at night in Hurghada, with the many , many clubs. The most suitable time to go to Hurghada is October-November. In winter there are strong winds and it becomes dark very early.

Sharm el-Sheikh is one of the most accessible and developed tourist resort communities on the Sinai spur. All around are Bedouins, colorful tents, mountains and sea. Na’ama Beach is one of the middle of the tourist activities. Located just north of Sharm, this area is developing into a resort town of its own. For those that like shopping, the Sharm El-Sheikh mall provides shops with both foreign and local products, including jewellery, leather products, clothing, pottery and books. No-one leaves Sharm el-Sheikh without many useless but terribly pleasant souvenirs. Like Hurghada, Sharm el-Sheikh is known for diving too, but it has more variety in corals.
