Hurghada Museum

The Red Sea's first archaeological museum, opened in 2020 on the airport road.

€€ Mid-range

A museum designed for beach visitors: a short, well-lit selection running from pharaonic to Islamic Egypt, with pieces on loan from Cairo's great museums. Two hours are enough, and it is the fallback on windy days.

The extra bit

Ask for the everyday-life room: it is the one that speaks to children.

Know before you go

A private museum: the ticket costs more than in state museums, and prices change with the season.

    Our favourite

    The harbour promenade: yachts on one side, terraces on the other, and the whole town out after dark.

    Unmissable

    The turquoise water over white sand that earned the place its nickname: the Egyptian Maldives.
