Known as the ‘Venice of Egypt’, Hurghada, Egypt’s second largest city, draws crowds of tourists each year due its prime Red Sea coastal location, sunny weather, and clear warm waters.

During the first week of the month, yoga experts from around the world, most notably Britain and India, descend on Hurghada to provide breathing, posture and meditation lessons to beginners and experts alike.
