Visit Hurghada City, Great Egyptian Handicrafts, or Pharaonic Papyrus Museums to get a better understanding of the city.
Highlights
You will experience Hurghada's lively district on this 5-hour tour. The Mosque is a great place to experience traditional Egyptian flair. Walk through souks and discover local shops in the old town, where you can also find a fish market. From the time of the pharaohs, Egyptians have always created beautiful and significant pieces for the living as well as the dead. Their skills were handed down from master to master through the generations. Over Egypt's history, the craft of crafting has evolved from the Graeco-Roman era to the Coptic and Islamic eras. As a result of the preservation of old skills and the addition of new ones, Egypt today has a wide variety of crafts to choose from. Egyptian families used to earn a considerable amount of income from these crafts in the past. Due to their extinction threat, this project is aimed at preserving them both as cultural assets and income generators. Visits to the Pharaonic Papyrus Museum are also included in the tour.

I had such an awesome time on my Hurghada City Tour & Shopping Stop. There were some impressive Egyptian handicrafts in this museum which gave me insight into ancient crafting practices in Egypt. It was enlightening learning about different governorates through their unique crafts although discovering ancient Egyptian techniques of production added flavor to all these experiences.
