Activities Aswan Aswan is an ancient frontier town on the banks of the Nile with a distinctly African atmosphere. A day here can be spent strolling up and down the broad Corniche watching the sailboats etch the sky with their tall masts or sitting in floating restaurants listening to the Nubian music and eating freshly caught fish. Aswan has been the most popular winter resort for Egyptians since the beginning of the nineteenth century, and today is still a perfect place to get away with its souks and spectacular sunsets. Hurghada Hurghda was founded in the early twentieth century and until recently remained a small fishing village. Of recent years Hurghada has seen a transformation into a tourist hotspot where tourists flock to take advantage of all the Red Sea has to offer including, diving, sailing, deep sea fishing, and swimming. With massive amounts of development, Hurghada has now become a party town frequented by young Europeans and is frantically busy at most times of the year. Diving is still one of the major draw cards however, more operators are moving away or to liveaboards as the dive sites and the city becomes more crowded with tourists. If you want to party the night away with thousands of other tourists, then Hurghada is certainly worth the trip from Marsa Alam.
