Where to go for a walk in Hurghada

A walk around Hurghada

Hurghada, in our opinion, is the best resort in Egypt for evening tourist walks. There are several walking areas here at once, one of which is a real record holder in length, its length is almost 5 kilometers. I am also pleased with their diversity: there is a large city street with shops and markets in the center; a clean, beautiful embankment; a pedestrian zone with a local flavor, etc.

But you need to understand that in order to be able to walk around these walking areas, it is advisable to stay in a hotel near them. After all, if you settle far in the south or northern outskirts of the city, then you can't see anything outside the hotel except the road and wastelands, and in order to take a walk, you will have to get to the center first, and it can be very far. In order not to make a mistake with the choice of the area for the hotel, we advise you to get acquainted with our An overview of the areas of Hurghada.

And now we present to your attention popular places for evening or daily walks in Hurghada:

Sheraton Street (Sheraton Road)

Evening walk along Sheraton street

Sheraton is the main thoroughfare in Hurghada and the most popular place for evening tourist walks. Every visitor probably walked along it for more than one kilometer in search of entertainment, souvenirs, gifts, things and products, exchange offices, restaurants and cafes, travel agencies. On this street you can really find everything from souvenirs to shoes, from mobile phone salons to pharmacies. But Sheraton is not exactly a pedestrian street. In fact, this is a wide highway, along which there are walking sidewalks with a string of shops, souvenir shops, pharmacies, hotels, markets, cafes and restaurants. The length of Sheraton Street is about 4 km, but the walking, tourist part is no more than 2 km. Learn more about Sheraton Street here...

Old Town and El Dahar Market

Old Town and El Dahar Market

El Dahar is the old town of Hurghada, from where the current modern resort and big city began to grow. Unlike the tourist areas of Hurghada, built-up areas of large hotels and filled with tourists, the houses of local residents are located here, and only rare tourists appear on the streets. This is a very colorful place, a typical Egypt in everyday life, where you can see the life and way of life of ordinary Egyptians. Low-rise houses, street markets, local eateries, along with shops selling consumer goods, household appliances and more. Here is one of their Christian temples - the Coptic Church. For tourists, the area and the market in El Dahar are not the best place to walk. Dirt is everywhere and there is a sense of poverty. At the same time, there is no intrusive harassment, unlike the merchants on Sheraton Street. Not everyone will like it here, but it's worth going here at least once to see the traditional Arab way of life. Read more about the old town and El Dahar market here...

Walking area on Youssef Afifi Street (Youssef Affifi Rd)

Walking area on Youssef Afifi Street

Youssef Afifi Street or Village Road is located in the southern part of Hurghada in the tourist area of El Mamsha. She is not as well-known and well-known as Sheraton, but she can easily compete with her in convenience and comfort for walking, and clearly wins in this.

Pedestrian Boulevard El Nasr (El Nasr Avenue)

Pedestrian Boulevard El Nasr

This boulevard is a place where Egyptians rest more often, and there are not many tourists here, since it is located in a non-tourist area. But if you suddenly walk to your hotel from the district and markets in El Dahar, then feel free to route through El Nasr.

The boulevard is completely pedestrian, beautifully decorated, with benches and green spaces and lawns, everything is very neat. There is an outdoor cinema, Playground, outdoor cafe, fast food stalls, toilet. The length is not more than 1 km. The place can not be called calm, since the roadway passes on both sides of the pedestrian part. But for safety, the entire pedestrian part is separated from the road by a fence.
