红海边的小城市赫尔格达 Hurghada

 　Hurghada was founded in the early 20th century， and until a few years ago， remained a small fishing village. But today， it has gone on to become the foremost tourist resort of the Red Sea coast and an international center for aquatic sports. If it takes place in or on the water you can do it here： windsurfing， sailing， deep-sea fishing， swimming， but， above all， snorkeling and diving. The unique underwater gardens offshore are some of the finest in the world， justifiably famous amongst divers. The warm waters here are ideal for many varieties of rare fish and coral reefs， which may also be observed through glass bottom boats. This area has many fine accommodations， usually offering warm and efficient service. Restaurants are mostly along the main road. While in Hurghada， don't miss the museum and aquarium， with their complete collections of flora and fauna of the Red Sea.

　　Today， Hurghada is known as a party town， particularly among Europeans. Locals and others will tell you that life begins at night in Hurghada， with the many， many clubs. They are particularly frequented by the young， but certainly many others of all ages. One may often find a rousing party centered around the visitors from a tour group taking over the action of a particular bar. They are easy to find along the main street， along with loads of inexpensive and expensive hotels.

　　It is also a beach resort， where thousands of older Europeans and others come with their families to enjoy the sun and fun of private resort beaches， some all inclusive. Many of these hotels offer so many activities and facilities that one may never need to leave the resort. Often， the larger resorts have zoos， playgrounds， discos， bars， a number of pools and even small theaters.

　　赫尔格达（Hurghada），红海边上的度假城市。形成于4000万年前的红海因为三面皆是沙漠，干燥少雨，没有任何主要河流入海，红海的海水水质出奇纯净、透明，一般近海岸地带，阳光可直射到水底。
