Hurghada has great weather in November.

Hurghada in November: the journey of the "Düsseldorfer Blatt" to Egypt

“The Düsseldorfer Blatt" visited Hurghada in Egypt in April this year. We wrote about our trip in details in our publication. You can read the article in German here:

We liked our vacation in Egypt very much and decided to come here again. After all, how pleasant it is in aututumn  or winter to be in a country where it is always warm, sunny and there are no cold and rainy days. Egypt is such a country. It is located in North Africa, at the junction of two continents - Asia and Africa. Thanks to the dry subtropical climate, the resort season here lasts the whole year, and the thermometer does not fall below 25 degrees Celsius.

So when the opportunity to go there again in November 2024 presented itself, we were more than happy to go. Hurghada is a 5-6 hour flight from Germany. Condor and Eurowings have direct flights from Düsseldorf. We flew from Vienna by the budget company WIZZ AIR, the flight lasted 4 hours, everything was very convenient, cozy and comfortable. But the arrival time was night time, and we were in Hurghada at four o'clock in the morning.

We had no problem choosing a hotel. We went back to the hotel where we stayed last time - Eagles Downtown Zahabia Resort & Aqua Park, a four-star hotel fifteen minutes drive from Hurghada International Airport.

We have already written about the Eagles Downtown Zahabia Hotel in details in our previous article. It is very pleasant that all conditions for comfortable and pleasant stay of guests are created here. Arriving early in the morning at the hotel, we noticed that there is a new central entrance and a new, large, cozy lobby. There is a guests check-in, you can take coffee, tea and other cooling beverages. 

Arriving early in the morning, when the rooms were not ready yet, we were able to wait, drink coffee, and were treated to breakfast. There are comfortable chairs and tables in the lobby, you can put your things and relax while waiting for your room.

We met the General Manager of the hotel, Mr. Fathy Tafik and the manager, Mr. Mohamed Emam on our last visit to Egypt. It was very pleasant that this time they welcomed us as dear and welcome guests and put us in a large, cozy and very beautiful room with a beautiful view of the hotel territory.

Eagles Downtown Zahabia Resort & Aqua Park Hotel has been in operation since 1996, which is already 28 years. The main principle of its work is to create all conditions for guests to feel at home. And its employees do everything necessary for the convenience, comfort and safety of guests. So that they would like to come here again and again.

Our room at the Hotel

The hotel is designed for vacationing independent tourists, couples, and guests with children. Some clients become regular guests and come year after year.

The hotel has different types of rooms: studios with garden view, one-bedroom apartments and two-bedroom apartments. You can see photos of the rooms and make reservations on the hotel's website: https://www.zahabia.website/en

Tourists from all over the world stay here, and this time guests at the hotel were from Russia, Belarus, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and many other countries. Tourists from Russia were especially numerous, because of the sanctions Russian citizens are not allowed to enter many countries of the world. Fortunately, Egypt is not one of them, and Russians can travel here. 

Yulia and Sergey travelled to Hurghada from Nizhny Novgorod

We met a married couple from Nizhny Novgorod, Yulia and Sergey during our vecation.  They have been to Egypt many times and are very fond of snorkeling. Hurghada is known to be a paradise for snorkeling lovers.

Sergey told us that he has been to many places, but he likes Egypt especially: “I swam in the Black Sea and the White Sea, but my favorite was and remains the Red Sea. It is the best and the most beautiful for me.”.

Yulia added: “My husband and I have been to many different cities in Egypt and we often come to Hurghada. We like everything about Eagles Downtown Zahabia Resort & Aqua Park: the area, the rooms, the food and especially the beach. For us, who love snorkeling, it is really pleasant and exciting here. It has its own reef with beautiful corals and a variety of fish. You can enter directly from the beach, besides the reef is such that even children can swim here. And this is another plus of the hotel - the opportunity to relax with the whole family. ”

Of course, Egypt is not only good for its sea. Here you can make interesting excursions to Cairo, to the pyramids or ride along the Nile. You can take care of your health and visit a hamam, where you will be offered various procedures. We were in Hamam Sultan and were very satisfied.

Of course, we did not want to leave. And the week we spent here was not enough. During this time you not only rest, but also gain strength and positive energy. And this is important. Saying goodbye to Egypt, we wanted to say: “See you again, Hurghada. We will definitely come back here again! And we think that in the near future.”
