What to see in the old town of Hurghada (El Dahar)?

The old town of Hurghada, the El Dahar district, is a place where you can see the real, non-touristy Egypt. It's worth visiting at least once during your trip for cultural immersion. Here's what you can see and do there:

• Walk through the colorful streets: Narrow streets with low houses, local residents, workshops, and shops for Egyptians. This is the complete opposite of the glamorous tourist areas.
• Visit the markets:
  • El Dahar Bazar clothing market: Here they sell clothing, fabrics, shoes, household goods at local prices.
  • Food market: A noisy, bright, and atmospheric market with fruits, vegetables, spices, fish, and meat. A great place for photos and buying fresh dates.
• See the Coptic Church: One of the Christian churches in a Muslim city.
• Experience the daily life: Observe the everyday life of Egyptians outside the hotel zone.

How to get there: Take a city minibus and say "El Dahar." The fare is about 10 pounds. Read more about the district in our article: Old town and El Dahar market.
