Safaga
A variety of hotels in Port Safaga and near Safaga Airport provide organized trips to Mons Claudianus and Mons Porphyrites, situated to the north of Hurghada. These locations held considerable importance for the Romans, who mined porphyry, a unique crystalline marble characterized by its white and purple shades, frequently used in the crafting of sarcophagi.
For travelers to Egypt, this presents an excellent chance to enjoy the delightful climate of Safaga, featuring its beautiful white sandy beaches, bright sunshine, and inviting blue waters. Visitors can engage in diving activities and relish the warm temperatures of the Red Sea through day excursions from Hurghada, the nearest city with air travel connections to Luxor. This facilitates the exploration of the archaeological wonders of ancient Egypt via Luxor day trips. Furthermore, one of the best ways to appreciate the stunning beaches is by visiting Sharm el-Sheikh through organized tours, which offer some of the finest coastal experiences in Egypt and are considered part of the nation's luxury tourism sector.
