Hurghada is firmly established as an international center for aquatic sports like windsurfing, sailing, deep‐sea fishing, swimming, and above all snorkeling and diving. The unique offshore underwater gardens are some of the finest in the world, justifiably famous amongst divers

 
The warm waters here are ideal for many varieties of rare fish and coral reefs. The city provides a gateway to prime diving sites throughout the Red Sea. Its central location provides favorable access to very famous dive sites and access to many uninhabited offshore reefs and islands
