The Hurghada City Guides answer what most visitors start asking after two days at the buffet: where Egyptians really eat grilled fish and koshary, which boat trips are worth the money, how to reach Luxor without an overpriced hotel tour and where the evening goes once the Marina quietens down. Each guide is a short, opinionated list with the reason to go, what to order or look for and one practical tip for every place, and it opens in your browser the moment you pay.

Three places from the guides
Al Halaka Fish Restaurant
Sigala, by the fish market
The local fish house most people in Hurghada name first. Choose your fish by weight at the counter, have it grilled or fried, and it arrives with rice, salad, tahini and bread. Weekends bring a short queue. From the food guide.
Sand City Hurghada
Safaga Road, near Senzo Mall
An open-air park of pharaohs, temples and cartoon heroes shaped from packed sand and water, with sculptors touching them up as you walk. Come after dark, when everything is lit, and allow about 45 minutes. From the things to do guide.
Karnak
Luxor east bank, 4 to 5 hours from Hurghada by coach
The largest temple complex in Egypt, with the Great Hypostyle Hall and its forest of 134 columns. Plan two and a half hours on site and check the ticket price before you set off. From the day trips guide.
Plan your days in Hurghada
Day one: start in El Dahar with the bazaar and the Coptic church from the things to do and budget guides, have koshary or hawawshi for lunch, then walk the Marina at sunset and pick a bar from the nightlife guide. Day two: take a boat or a coach from the day trips guide, out to the reefs or up to the temples of Luxor, and end with grilled fish in Sigala. On a rainy or slow day, when the wind keeps boats in port, the indoor ideas in the family guide, the Hurghada Museum and a long lunch from the food guide fill the hours.
