Fantastische Tour durch Hurghada! Besonders gefallen hat mir der El Dahar Souq und die Möglichkeit, die Kultur bei der ältesten Kirche und der Marina Moschee zu erleben. Die Freizeit an der New Marine war ebenfalls wunderbar zum Entspannen und Shoppen. Jederzeit wieder!
Eine wundervolle Tour! Unser privater Guide hat uns durch die Stadt geführt und uns die schönsten Plätze gezeigt. Der El Dahar Souq war ein Erlebnis, die Kirche und die Moschee haben mich beeindruckt. Ich habe die Freizeit in der neuen Marine sehr genossen. Sehr empfehlenswert!
J'ai passé une journée incroyable lors de cette visite privée de Hurghada. La souq d'El Dahar était fascinant, et les visites de l'église et de la mosquée marina étaient très informatives. Le temps libre pour boire un verre à la New Marine était parfait pour se détendre. Je recommande vivement!

Эта экскурсия была настоящим открытием! Наш гид был профессионалом, все было организовано великолепно. Посещение старейшей церкви, мечети на Марине и рынка Эль-Дахар оставило самые яркие впечатления. Время в New Marine для покупок и напитков прошло прекрасно. Рекомендую!
What an amazing experience! Our private tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly.

Потрясающая экскурсия! Экскурсовод был очень дружелюбным и знающим, маршруты продуманы идеально. Рынок Эль-Дахар, старая церковь и мечеть на Марине сделали мой день. Свободное время в Новой Марине для покупок и отдыха очень понравилось.
This tour was fantastic! Having a private taxi and guide made all the difference. El Dahar Souq was a bustling hub, and the historic church and the Marina Mosque were both mesmerizing. I enjoyed the leisurely time we had at the New Marine to shop and enjoy a drink. Definitely a must-do in Hurghada!
