From Luxor, there are daily buses with several bus companies (including Go Bus) taking about 5 hours to go. The price is around 4USD (June 2025). The bus continues then to Hurghada. Even with Go Bus, you will probably be dropped out of the city centre, at the bus station located under the highway going to Hurghada. It is about 3km west from the city centre. You can then walk or take a taxi to the city centre.

The city is linked by a daily ferry boat to the city of Duba in Saudi Arabia. This ferry can take foot passengers.

From Port Safaga to Duba, the price is around 80 USD for a seat and 90 USD for a cabin (June 2025). The ticket can be booked the same day. You have to go to the office located close to the harbour with your passport and you visa to Saudi Arabia. From Saudi Arabia, it seems a little bit more complicated. You can find information on some blogs.

You can go to the public beach located north of the city to swim. It is not that clean, but it is a lovely sand beach.

There is also one diving club called Nemo dive club & hotel that has its own private (and clean) beach and a little swimming pool. To access to the swimming pool, you have to pays 5USD and to the beach 7USD (June 2025). They also offer day trip on boats to go snorkelling for about 50 USD or to go diving. The Nemo dive club & hotel is managed by a couple from Holland.
