Hurghada tours and excursions

Hurghada is one of Egypt's best-known Red Sea resorts, with clear water, colorful coral reefs and sunshine all year. It is the starting point for most of our trips: boat days to Giftun Island, Orange Bay and Paradise Island, snorkeling and diving on nearby reefs, desert safaris by quad, camel or horse, and long day trips to Luxor and Cairo.

Golden Sand is based in El-Kawther, Hurghada, and most of our trips include pickup from your hotel. Send us your date, hotel and number of guests and we confirm the details.
