Mamsha Area
Mamsha (or Memsha) is definitely one of our favourite locations in Hurghada. During the cooler months, Mamsha is a great location to get some excercise outside. Plus, an evening stroll is easy in the pedestrian zone area.
If you are looking to have an evening out from your resort then Memsha may be the location for you. Especially if it is names that you are looking for. That is because Mamsha is home to fast food outlets that will definitely please the younger generation. Plus, wonder to the top of Mamsha and you will discover a more relaxed environment. Here you can sit and admire that statues and art on display
Also, Mamsha is a great location for shopping. You will find Cleopatra’s Bazaar here. Because of the fixed prices on everything, this is a great hassle free place to shop. Also, Carrefour supermarket is tucked just behind Mamsha.
Downtown Hurghada
The main street in downtown Hurghada is Sheraton Road. Here you will find fast food restaurants that you will recognise. Plus you will find our favourite Egyptian fast food restaurant – Gad.
