Cheap flights to Hurghada

Book a cheap flight to Egypt’s Red Sea resort of Hurghada for sun, sand and watersports. Beneath the crystal-clear waters a diver’s paradise awaits – but if you don’t fancy donning a wetsuit and gas tank there’s plenty of snorkelling, windsurfing and jet skiing opportunities on offer too.

Outside of the water the restaurants, bars and clubs, not to mention the entertainment complex of Sigala's swanky new marina, all await. And, as if that wasn’t enough, your flight to Hurghada also places a sightseeing trip to the Nile Valley pyramids all within reach too.

The only problem you’ll have is fitting it all in!

How to find the best flight deals to Hurghada

Being flexible about your departure points and dates helps you to find the best prices for flights to Newcastle when you search with Expedia. Here are some ways to do this.

  1. Consider a connecting rather than direct flight to Hurghada: often you can add just a little to your travel time but save a great deal on your ticket price by doing this.
  2. Clicking ‘Show flexible dates’ when your flight results are returned allows you to check if a day or two’s difference in your departure will significantly reduce the price of your Hurghada flight.

Main airports in Hurghada

The second busiest airport in Egypt, after Cairo, Hurghada International is located about three miles inland from El Dahar, the downtown of the city. This means that transfers to the resorts take little time.

Typically, your hotel will have arranged a shuttle service to take you from the airport to your accommodation. Failing that, car hire is available at the airport as are taxis.

Only private bus services run into the centre and these tend to get very crowded. You’ll need to call for the minibus to stop as there are no set drop-off points along the route. Regular buses run to the centre and resort area of Hurghada, as well as covering destinations such as Safaga, Al Quseir, El Gouna, Sharm El Naga, Al-Mahmya, Soma Bay and Makadi Bay.

How to get around in Hurghada and Egypt

Most will opt for private tours – or hire a car and a driver – for their sightseeing, but within the area taxis are available and microbuses run throughout the day from central Ad Dahar, south along the resort strip, and along Sharia An Nasr and other major routes.

For longer trips flights are your best bet: offering the safest and most comfortable option of travelling longer distances within the country. Egypt Air offers daily flights between the capital and Hurghada, as well as other services such as flights to Alexandria, Luxor and Aswan.

What are the must-sees in Hurghada?

Apart from the unmissable sights under the water, where schools of tropical fish and colourful corals await, there’s plenty to see and do on land.

Ad-Dahar is the most ‘Egyptian’ part of Hurghada. The harbour is where you will find lively backstreets and a bustling souq crammed full of crafts and souvenirs.

Sigala is separated from the town proper by a sandy mountain but it’s worth making the trek over to enjoy this stylish new marina’s excellent dining options and inviting bars.

The Red Sea Mountains follow Egypt’s coast all the way down to Ethiopia. Here you will find many Bedouin tribes still living a nomadic existence. Take a camel or jeep safari to appreciate the desolate beauty of the mountains before sharing a cup of sugared-tea with a local Bedouin.

Tips for travelling to Hurghada

Around September each year Ramadan sees Muslims fasting between dusk and dawn. This may mean that some businesses close, or keep only limited opening hours, and restaurants in the town may not open at all.

How to survive the flight to Hurghada?
We’ve got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you’ll be cruising through airport security and seeing the best of Hurghada in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First things first, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you’ll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don’t have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and don’t forget to bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during longer flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
  • Most travellers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There’s plenty you can do to reduce your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Wander around the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Hurghada?
The secret is to be organised before you reach security. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Hurghada in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

  • Keep your passport and boarding pass close by. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked to present to airport security.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
  • Travelling with your favourite hand cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-close bag, you’re allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They’ll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
