Sigala Hurghada

Established in the early 20th century, Hurghada was a small fishing hamlet on the Red Sea till recent past. Over the passage of time, this humble Egyptian city has changed dramatically. At present Hurghada is one of the most fascinating beach resorts standing on the coastal region of the Red Sea. Well-known for its international center for aquatic sports, this bustling city offers enough to make your holiday ever memorable. This popular tourist center in Egypt consists of three main regions. El Dahar is the old center of the city. Sekalla is relatively newer part of Hurghada, while El Korra Road is the latest addition to the city's landscape. Besides these three main centers, there are many other self-contained tourist villages scattered all over Hurghada.

Among the major activity regions of the city Al-Gouna, Sigala, New Hurghada, Safaga, and Soma Bay are worth mentioning.

Sigala downtown area is probably the most dynamic part of the city. This elegant locality has a huge collection of colorful restaurants, tourist shops and a wide variety of hotels. The beach areas of Sigala are mostly blocked by hotels.

Though the El Dahar is the main shopping zone of the town, the cheapest rates are offered at Sigala. Due to large number of shops, there is huge competition among the local sellers. The ultimate benefit goes to the buyers. Sigala prices are at least 10 percent to 50 percent lower than that in Dahar. Only few shops in Sigala are fixed price shops. For shopping in Hurghada, you must have good eyes and excellent bargaining skill. Otherwise there is always a possibility of being cheated if you are a first time visitor in Hurghada.
Some of the shops offers some exclusive items imported from far off countries like Morocco. The shopkeepers will surely let you know about the origins of their displayed items if you are really interested to know that before purchasing some of those exclusive items for your personal collection.
