At the arranged time we’ll pick you up at your hotel to begin the guided tour of the historic centre of Hurghada.
We’ll see the minarets and white marble of the Grand Mosque, and inside visit the space laden with symbolism and beautiful decoration. The decoration of the dome is one of the most spectacular aspects of the mosque, but far from the only one. We’ll also take a look at the prayer room and the mihrab, the sacred space which looks towards Mecca and is decorated in an extraordinary range of colours.
Our route around the centre then takes us to the Coptic Church of Hurghada, where we’ll learn about one of the largest Christian communities in the Middle East. The temple stands out for its artworks, as well as for its architecture, which we’ll have the opportunity to study.
Our next stop will be the aquarium, where you’ll be able to see the diversity of marine species which find their home in the Red Sea. Having seen the colour of these exotic fish you’ll have free time to see the shopping streets in Hurghada.
Then we’ll head back to the bus to return to the hotels, finishing the guided tour after approximately four hours.
