Planning El Quseir holidays by the sea? This is a great place to enjoy the white beaches and pretty harbour town, as well as the great weather. If you’d prefer to get out on the water and try your hand at fishing, however, the place to go is Hurghada, just a little further north.

The Red Sea is truly picturesque, dotted with small islands, and home to some of the world’s greatest reefs. Countless travellers come here for the diving, but you can also have a fantastic time on top of the water. Take a fishing boat out and spend the day in the sun, enjoying the breathtaking surroundings, and hopefully catch a huge fish! It will certainly be something to tell people back home.

There are some great fishing safaris you can book as well, if you want to learn the best techniques or simply want to mingle with other keen fishermen. It’s a popular choice for those on Hurghada holidays, as everything is taken care of, and all the gear you need is provided.

There’s always the suspense of hoping for a catch to keep things exciting. Grouper, tuna and barracuda are just some of the kinds of fish you might find taking the bait on your day out on the Red Sea.

If for some reason you don’t catch anything, you should still aim to have dinner at one of the many wonderful seafood restaurants back in Hurghada. In fact, many restuarants have tanks of live fish, so why not take your pick? You can’t get fish any fresher than that! You will return from your Hurghada holidays with memories of a day at sea, exploring the beautiful coastline, and either a tale of a big catch… or “the one that got away”.
