Information about the Hurghada City Tour
Foundation of Hurghada
Hurghada is a town in the Al-Bahr Al-Ahmar governorate on the Red Sea coast. The Egyptians built the present city 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. However, its production and export began in 1921 under British oil magnates.
