Every year, an astounding 5 million tourists make their way to the picturesque city of Hurghada, Egypt. This statistic was revealed by Tarek Serhan, an esteemed tourism expert and member of the Arab Tourist Guides Union. Here's what makes Hurghada a must-visit hotspot.

Hurghada holds a distinguished position among the world's most beautiful marine destinations. Its breathtaking coral reefs and diverse marine life make it a haven for enthusiasts of underwater sports and activities. This richness significantly amplifies the city's coastal tourism appeal.

During his phone-in segment on the "Sabahna Masry" program aired on the "Al-Masriya" satellite channel, Serhan highlighted the ever-increasing influx of tourists, especially from Russia, Germany, and Poland. This surge in numbers is evident from the multitude of planes touching down at Hurghada's airport annually.

One of Hurghada's strategic advantages is its proximity to Luxor. This location not only accentuates its own beauty but also facilitates tourists eager to explore the historic grandeur of Luxor. The convenience in traveling between the two cities enhances the overall tourist experience.

Beyond its natural allure, both Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh are well-equipped to host international conferences. This positioning opens doors for business tourism, making it a holistic destination suitable for both leisure and professional gatherings.

In conclusion, Hurghada's diverse offerings and strategic positioning ensure it remains on the global tourist radar. Whether you're an underwater enthusiast, history buff, or business traveler, Hurghada promises an experience unlike any other.
