Hurghada Marine Museum & Aquarium (Hurghada Marine Museum & Aquarium or NIOF Aquarium) was founded by Egyptian oceanologist and scientist Hamed Abdel Fattah Goher, who has been exploring the Red Sea all his life. The museum has a rich collection of marine animals and plants of the Red Sea.

The museum is small, but it will be interesting for those who are afraid of water and do not dare to dive into the sea. A wide variety of fish and sea creatures can be seen here both live and in the form of models. The exhibition is divided into 3 parts, each of which occupies a separate building: in one - aquariums with live fish, turtles, in the second – stuffed fish, sharks, mollusks, in the third – personal belongings, photographs of Professor H. Goher and preserved fish in glass jars. There are signatures in some places, but only in English.

The exhibition has been launched, it feels like it hasn't been updated for a long time. Apparently, that's why there are few visitors, or maybe vice versa, because there are few visitors. However, you will hardly have to see such a variety of marine life of the Red Sea, and even in one place. If you have been to the Hurghada Grand Aquarium, then you don't have to go here. But if you find yourself nearby or just have nothing to do, then visit. In addition, the entrance fee is symbolic – 30 pounds. If desired, for a small surcharge, you can arrange an excursion with the museum keepers.

🕐Working hours: from 10:00 to 16:00.

Entrance fee / ticket price: 30 pounds (approximately 0.59 rubles, read more about Egypt's money and exchange rate).
