Hundred years ago here was only wide, empty desert. Then little village of the fishermen. Now it is a huge resort city… It was interesting to walk around – just to recognize that there is not much to see, except the 800-meters long coastal promenade in Marina of Hurghada. There are beaches in the town but all of them are private and you have to pay an entrance fee to get there.
Marina promenade became the front window of Hurgada. There are many colorful cafes and restaurants, souvenir shops and services. But it is hard to see any folklore – you will not see any arabic script… Only a year ago there was a crowd of tourists. Now the promenade is almost empty because of pandemic. North from the promenade you will see the minarets of central (Mina) mosque. The doors of the mosque are closed…
