Day by day
Day 1: Arrival in Hurghada. Hurghada Marina is a good anchor point after landing: yachts rock in the harbour, a promenade with shops runs alongside, and many restaurants have terraces. Children run safely across the wide paving, and parents watch from the chairs. Treat yourselves to an iced coffee, drink plenty and go back early.
Day 2: Orange Bay. Orange Bay lies on an island off the coast, which you reach by boat. A white sandy beach, turquoise water and snorkelling spots with fish right at the shore make up for the journey. Pack life jackets, a parasol and water for everyone, as shade is scarce. Small children stay on the shallow beach, and older ones explore the edge of the reef.
Day 3: Hurghada Grand Aquarium. The Hurghada Grand Aquarium has a tunnel through which sharks and rays glide above your heads. There is also a Bedouin exhibition and a small zoo. Because everything is covered, the visit suits the hottest hours well. Children up to pre-school age love above all the tanks at eye level and the feeding programme.
Day 4: Dolphin World Egypt. Dolphin World Egypt brings dolphins onto the stage in choreographed shows. As parents, decide in advance which programmes you want to support, as opinions on keeping dolphins differ. Anyone who prefers to watch sits in the shade on the stand. Expect midday heat and apply sun cream, even under a roof.
Day 5: Makadi Water World. At Makadi Water World children and adults alike go down the slides. There are pools for little ones, slides for the brave and loungers with parasols for older people who only watch. The site lies south of Hurghada and is easy to reach from there by car. Reapply sun cream regularly, even if the water feels cool.
Day 6: Sand City Hurghada. Sand City Hurghada shows sand sculptures by artists from all over the world, from pharaohs to fantasy figures. The Mini Egypt Park next door lets children walk around the pyramids and temples of Egypt in miniature. Both are a few steps away and easy to do on foot. In between a bench in the shade waits, in case the little ones get tired.
Day 7: Farewell to Hurghada. For the farewell you can visit Diamond Red Sea as a diving base in Hurghada. Depending on the provider, older children can try a taster course in the pool, while younger ones watch from the jetty. Discuss the details directly with the base. The last day stays relaxed, so that you reach the airport on time with luggage and children.
