Hurghada Beach - photo wallpapers: Hurghada (ar.: [br]Al Ghardaqah, الغردقة) is an Egyptian city and a tourist center on the [br]Red Sea. The city was founded in the early 20th century, and since the [br]1980s has been continually enlarged by American, European and Arab [br]investors to become the leading bathing resort on the Red Sea. Holiday [br]villages and first class hotels provide excellent aquatic sport [br]facilities for sail boarders, yachtsmen, scuba divers and snorklers. [br]Hurghada stretches for about 40 km along the seashore, and it doesn't [br]reach far into the surrounding desert. The resort is a destination for [br]package holiday tourists from Europe, notably Russians, Czechs and [br]Germans. Until a few years ago it remained a small fishing village. [br]Today Hurghada counts 40,000 inhabitants and is divided into three [br]parts: Downtown (El Dahar) is the old part; Sekalla is the modern part, [br]and El Korra Road is the most modern part. Sakkala is the relatively [br]modest hotel quarter. Dahar is where the town's largest bazaar, the [br]post office and the long-distance bus station are situated. Many [br]restaurants, bars and shops, small pubs and internet cafes are [br]available all over Hurghada. The city is served by the Hurghada [br]International Airport with scheduled passenger traffic to and from [br]Cairo and direct connections with several cities in Europe. Hurghada is [br]known as a party town, and with its many clubs, life could be said to [br]begin there at night. Nearly every hotel has its own disco. The most [br]famous ones at the moment are "Calypso" and "Papas Beach".[citation [br]needed] Renowned for belly dancing, Arabic and Nubian folklore, is "Alf [br]Leila Wa Leila" ("One thousand and one nights"). It is a big open-air [br]area, which offers a bit of everything. Hurghada has become an [br]international center for aquatic sports like windsurfing, sailing, [br]deep-sea fishing, swimming, and above all snorkeling and diving. The [br]unique underwater gardens offshore are some of the finest in the world, [br]justifiably famous amongst divers. The warm waters here are ideal for [br]many varieties of rare fish and coral reefs, which may also be observed [br]through glass bottom boats. The city provides a gateway to prime diving [br]sites throughout the Red Sea. Its central location provides favorable [br]access to very famous dive sites. In addition, Hurghada is known for [br]providing access to many uninhabited offshore reefs and islands.
