The sea there is so beautiful and clear. We eat loads of gorgeous fish at El Mina resturant. I gorged myself on shrimps and garlic sauce Mahmoud and his friend had loads of different shellfish baked including lobster which was so much tastier than i have had before.

We went on pedallos on the beach and had a boat trip to an island and did snorkling.

I think is is a lovely place for a few days but when we drove back into Luxor and I saw the green of the Nile valley again I knew where my heart lay. Luxor is such a lovely place and restful on the eyes where as Hurgada is dry dusty and messy.
