Nightlife in Hurghada.
Hurghada is a coastal resort. Even though just a few years ago, the only tourists in town were a sparse bunch of divers. However, there was always an hour in the day when somebody would produce an old tape player, a few records and some bottles of the only beer available at that time and everybody would dance, sing and have fun on the beach or at the coffee shop.
Nowadays, the number of pubs, discotheques and disco bars is endless. The town explodes every night as a fun-loving young crowd playground. Here is a insiders guide of some popular night venues from south to north. Keep in mind that almost every hotel has its own disco or pub with some weekly program of shows or parties: for these check at the hotel reception. |

Until a few years ago, Hurghada was a divers’ paradise where the only entertainment around was to sit under the stars chatting away and having an odd-looking and odd-tasting beer, with somebody producing an improbable guitar or a cracking radio – fabulous indeed - but a bit repetitive!
Nowadays, Hurghada is “the” party town par excellence in the Red Sea west coast. A town that never sleeps, Hurghada has become in recent years a place to combine beach, dives and sun with crazy clubbing and bar-hopping, with some excellent “shisha” outlets to experience the local life in between.
From famous international chains such as Hard Rock Café, to local favourites as the Papa’s Beach Club with their regular Dutch and British party live bands rocking the nights away, to informal and ultra-popular apres-dive outlets such as the Papa’s Dutch bars, cosy pubs and billiards bars, bowling centres, vibrant discos, karaoke nights, divers’ parties, quiz nights with prizes, foam parties, beach BBQ’s, trendy lounges, the nightlife of Hurghada is one to keep you awake until sunrise!
