Averages for Hurghada in April

Once a small fishing village, the Egyptian city of Hurghada is now a popular and lively tourist destination, with over 100 luxury hotels lining the Red Sea coast. Visitors are drawn to the warm and dry subtropical desert climate, clear waters and wide range of activities.

April is warm, and temperatures start to edge towards the hot summer heat, ranging from 17 to 29 degrees celsius. Rainfall is about 1mm over the course of the month, so is unlikely to cause any problems for travellers.

While in Hurghada, take the opportunity to visit the nearby Mahmya Island in the Red Sea. The island offers bright white sandy beaches, crystal clear waters and palm trees. There’s plenty of companies offering motor boat trips across to the island, and there are a wide range of activities to keep the whole family entertained such as snorkeling, swimming and beach volleyball. There’s an outdoor buffet on the island each day, so visitors won’t go hungry.

For thrills, book a beach buggy excursion with Egypt Fun Tours. The activity includes hotel pickup and drop off so no need to worry about transportation, and riders can choose between single or double dune buggies, racing across the sandy Sahara Desert.

For a familiar and informal night out with the whole family, why not try the Hard Rock Cafe. Serving the same American-style BBQ steaks, ribs and burgers as the US and UK branches, this venue displays such memorabilia as a hat worn by Madonna and a leather jacket from Elvis Presley’s personal collection.

Stay at the Arabia Azur Hotel for just £42 per night, or choose an all-inclusive package that includes full board (with snacks and ice cream), all drinks (alcoholic between 10pm - 2am), all on-site activities and sun lounger and towel rental. Children under 6 stay for free.
