Information about the Hurghada City Tour
Foundation of Hurghada
Hurghada is one of the Al-Bahr Al-Ahmar governorate’s towns on the Red Sea coast. The Egyptians built the present city of Hurghada in the early 20th century. Until recently, it was a small fishing village with a small population.
Since the 19th century, Egyptian and foreign investors have continually enlarged the city. Therefore, it became the leading coastal resort on the Red Sea. Indeed, the discovery of oil in this area in 1913 enhanced its rapid development. Although, its actual production and export only began in 1921 under British oil magnates.
Grand Aquarium
Grand Aquarium is the largest aquarium in Hurghada. It is not just a simple aquarium but an entertainment centre consisting of several sections: aquariums, outdoor pools and an outdoor zoo. This aquarium has 3D effects, cafes, restaurants and an educational centre.
