ABOUT HURGHADA: The city was founded in the early 20th century. Until a few years ago it was a small fishing village but since the 1980s has been continually enlarged by Egyptian and foreign investors to become the leading coastal resort on the Red Sea. Holiday villages and hotels provide aquatic sport facilities for sailboarders, yachtsmen, scuba divers and snorkelers. Hurghada is known for its water-sports activities, nightlife and warm weather.

Temperature during the championship period should be 27˚ (Avg. High) and 16˚ (Avg. Low)
