Planning your trip to Hurghada
Climate and seasons
The climate in Hurghada is very dry and rainfall is very rare. Summer days are very hot and summer nights quite hot; in winter it is generally warm by day and cool at night, and it can be downright cold when the Shamal wind blows down from the northeast.
Getting around
Fixed-route white minibuses called micro buses serve the coastal strip, picking up and dropping off anywhere along the way; they are cramped and crowded. Larger minibuses run along the coastal highway to El Gouna and Safaga. Uber and Careem operate in Hurghada and help avoid the haggling of ordinary taxi rides.
Staying safe
Because of the heat combined with inadequate food hygiene, stomach ailments are common. The better tourist resorts make an effort at good hygiene, but nothing is ever certain.
