Dining in Hurghada — The Essential Guide

Egypt’s Largest Red Sea Resort at Table

Hurghada has grown from a fishing village of a few thousand people in the 1970s to Egypt’s largest Red Sea resort, with over 250,000 permanent residents and tourist capacity for several hundred thousand more. The dining scene reflects this transformation: the Hilton’s Lophelia represents the creative fine dining end; Moby Dick and Al Halaka represent the legendary institution end; and El Sayadin at Mövenpick El Gouna represents the resort gourmet synthesis.

The Red Sea provides the primary ingredient: the reef fish, the lobster, the shrimp, and the shellfish of the warm, clear water that has made Hurghada the most popular diving destination in the Middle East. The freshness of the available seafood — from Al Halaka’s pick-your-own fish to Moby Dick’s legendary lobster — is the argument that unites every serious restaurant in the city.
