There is an intensive choice of hotels in El Gouna all of a high standard with fabulous service throughout. We have visited all the hotels in the area and selected what we feel offer the best value and quality in their class.
Whereas the temples of Luxor and the pyramids of Giza are highlights for travellers interested in Egyptian culture, Safaga is regarded as a dream spot for windsurfers and kiters.
Located about 50 kilometres south of Hurghada, this site offers not only numerous diving bases but is arguably one of the best windsurfing and kitesurfing spots in Egypt. Spacious sandy beaches extend around the deepsea port of Safaga, and one of our largest and best-equipped centres is located right on one of the most beautiful and widest beaches of them all!
The contrast between the azure and turquoise colours of the ocean and the barren desert landscape makes this area an impressive holiday setting and will turn your vacation into a wind-filled desert experience.
About 3.5 km away, Tobia Island awaits your visit. Here you will find a small sandy cay surrounded by turquoise water. Joining one of our famous surfing outings to this destination alone makes a vacation in Safaga worthwhile.
Our insider tips:
Excursion to Luxor, Kiteboard trip to Kiriazi Bay, BBQ in Safaga, Video evening, Snorkelling and Diving excursions
Hurghada in Egypt is a great value windsurf holiday destination just a 5 hour flights from the UK and other main European departure airports. There are few windsurf holiday resorts that offer such a long wind season, great value quality accommodation and world class windsurfing, especially good for beginner and improvers. New for 2015 is our new superb windsurf school based at the Mecure Hotel. This windsurf centre in Hurghada is to be run by one of the most experienced and professional teams in Egypt. There will be all new equipment every year along with superb service and instruction.
Hurghada town itself is not the prettiest of places! There are a few really good beach bars, restaurant and clubs but it is important to find the good spots amongst the rest. The hotels in Hurghada are spread out over several kilometres of beach south of Hurghada town so whilst staying at your chosen resort you will not see any of the more undesirable areas. As with most of Egypt, there are really only a hand full of very good hotels and it is important to get the right advice; of course here at Planet Travel, we will make sure that you get the right resort along with our unbias expert advice.
