Hurghada City Tour with Tarek.

January 17, 2025

We had an amazing time on our city tour of Hurghada, thanks to our guide, Tarek. From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly kind, making the experience truly special.

The tour was the perfect mix of culture and history. We explored a peaceful fishing village, visited a shipyard to see traditional craftsmanship, and wandered through a lively fish market. Tarek’s explanations brought everything to life.

Highlights included the stunning mosque and the city’s oldest Coptic church, where Tarek shared fascinating insights about the local culture and traditions. We finished at a vibrant fruit and vegetable market, which was a feast for the senses.

Tarek’s guidance made this tour unforgettable, and we couldn’t recommend it more. If you’re visiting Hurghada, this is a must-do experience!

We had amazing time with Tarek, we learn a lot of Egyptian culture and local people’s life in Hurghada. Tarek is one of the nicest person with great sense of humor. We feel very safe all time on trip. Visit to yard next to mosque was one of the highlight for me. We enjoyed every minute of this trip. I will recommend this for very first days on your stay in Hurghada.
