Hurghada Marina

This guide to Hurghada Marina traces the harbor from a modest fishing village to Hurghada Marina Boulevard, opened in June 2008 to put Egypt's Red Sea coast on the map beside the French Riviera. You'll hear how roughly two hundred berths filled with sailboats and yachts unimaginable to the fishermen who once worked these waters, and about the Egyptian, Greek and Italian restaurants that now line the promenade. Listen for the working fleet still loading tanks and coolers at the pier before dawn.
