Yes, it is, especially if you want to take a calm walk in a pleasant setting, take beautiful photos against the backdrop of yachts, and avoid pushy vendors. This is one of the most civilized and well-maintained places for walking in Hurghada.
Advantages of visiting the Marina:
- Atmosphere of tranquility: There is no crowding or aggressive touts, which are often encountered at bazaars and some other tourist spots.
- Beautiful views: Well-maintained area, many photogenic yachts and boats, especially impressive in the evening with lighting.
- Convenient infrastructure: There are toilets (free, but be careful), many cafes and restaurants to suit any taste.
- Opportunity to book an excursion: Right at the port office, you can arrange a sea trip, which may be more reliable than buying from street vendors.
- Free entry: No need to pay for the walk itself.
Disadvantages to be aware of:
- High prices in establishments: Food and drinks in cafes on the promenade are noticeably more expensive than in the city.
- Nowhere to sit for free: There are practically no benches for resting; you can only relax at a table in a cafe.
- Small area: The walking zone is only 500 meters, so don't plan for a long walk.
Conclusion: The Marina promenade is an excellent option for a romantic or family evening walk to change the scenery after the beach. It is not a must-see attraction, but a pleasant bonus to the vacation. If you are looking for an authentic atmosphere or budget entertainment, this might not be your choice. But for a calm time in a beautiful locationβdefinitely yes.
