Located in the eastern part of Egypt, Hurghada is one of the best tourist destinations in the Middle East.

With mesmerizing sapphire waters, natural riches, and entertainment parks, the Red Sea spot offers a profusion of epic experiences.

You don’t need to embark on a snorkeling vacation or ping adventure to experience the wonders of the Red Sea floor, because Hurghada actually features one of the best aquariums in the world, which means to see marine animals and habitats up close, all you have to do is plan a day trip.

Minya

Minya is one of the most notable recognized Cities in Upper Egypt and the capital of Minya Governorate, known famously for its oldest and most Ancient Egyptian sites. Originally called ‘Arous Esaiid’ in ancient Egypt, Minya is often known also as the ‘World's greatest open-air Museum’. 

The ruins of the early Al-Ashmūnein (ancient Hermopolis), and Tūnat al-Jabal stand within the modern city on the East Bank and life goes on unchanged for centuries amongst the domestic residents.

Minya City lies between the East and West banks of the River Nile and is crossed daily by locals and tourists alike with Felucca boats and Ferries alike.

The iconic city has many monuments, tombs, and temples located on the West Bank like the Gabal el Teir (Mountain of Birds), which attracts millions of tourists worldwide arriving annually to partake in this famous pilgrimage in Egyptian ancient civilization.

Taba

Located near the northern tip of the Gulf of Aqaba, it is a frequent vacation spot for both Egyptians and tourists, especially those from Russia on their way to other destinations in Egypt or as a weekend getaway. It is the most popular resort on Egypt's eastern coastline along the Red Sea, Egypt's Red Sea Riviera.

Nearly, the majority of current residents of Taba are Bedouins who are originally nomads, herding their goats and sheep around the desert, moving frequently, and setting up temporary settlements as they went.

While some of them continue to maintain a traditional nomadic lifestyle, the majority now live somewhat permanently in Bedouin Village - the only settlement in the protected area - and are heavily involved in the area's tourism industry. Many elements of Bedouin life remain ubiquitous in Taba, allowing visitors to enjoy an authentic cultural experience during their visit.
