Like all oriental cities Hurghada make living out of trade, so if when you walk along the city, be in a position to beat off the pressing offers of the sellers, deserving to make you purchase their souvenirs. There are some more entertainments except shopping and diving in Hurghada. You can make a jeep trip to a desert, visit Bedouin’s village there ; you can see corals and some natural preserves. Hurghada is also has aqua-park. Fishing is one of the popular tourist’s’s activities in Hurghada too. Today, Hurghada is known as a party city, particularly among continentals.

Sharm el-Sheikh is one of the most accessible and developed tourist resort communities on the Sinai promontory. All around are Bedouins, colourful tents, mountains and sea. Na’ama Beach is one of the center of the tourist activities. Found just north of Sharm, this area is developing into a resort town of its own.
