I am living in Hurghada since 5 years - and I have never been so happy... Among friendly people, under year-round sunshine, at the amazing Red Sea, with unlimited activities and stunning things to see... The entrance to the public beach is 20 Egyptian pounds now, just 0.65 US$, and the buses 3 EGP - 10 cent, certainly not a fortune for a visitor! And in what you call "slums", they are just popular neighborhoods, without any violence or prostitution like it is the case in Vancouver's real "slum"...
Ah man I wish I had found some free beaches though. I just can't bring myself to pay to walk on a public beach, but I understand that it's not a fortune. I'm sure life in Hurghada is great when you know the area, but it just wasn't what I expected and not what I was looking for.
I think you don't understand the man , because he speaks Arabic . He told you there's a free Beach after the police station , but you don't get the meaning
Holy shit Ben , you look like a new man . Definitely a tourist city , looks like you couldnt wait to get out of there . Merry Christmas and a Happy new year to you .
Hi Alvaro, unfortunately I didn't visit any other beach town on the Red Sea coast but I went to Dahab in Sinai on the coast of the Gulf of Aqaba and it was wayyy more beautiful. I highly recommend Sinai and Dahab. I made a video of my experience there as well. And thank you for watching!
@@benbrazyoutube Nice, loving your channel. Good tip, maybe mayke it to Dahab. What about Sharm el Sheik or el gouna? Are you making videos of those beaches? haha I am from the amazon, just discovered you also been there
Unfortunately I only passed through those places so I didn't really see them. I'm on my way to Asia now and will be there for the next few months. The Amazon was one of my favourite regions in the world! Which part are you from? I'm hoping to return next year and travel through the Brazilian part
1:30 That's what I experienced when I was forced by a security guard to turn around at the far end of the Marina and walk to the mosque. Nothing but slums and slum shops. That's the real Hurghada. Travelling with a guide a few days earlier the guard had let us through a shortcut, but going back alone I was told I had to turn around and walk all the way back then plod through crumbling roads past dirty, run down shops and cafes with locals sitting outside giving me suspicious looks. Walking around alone off the tourist trail isn't advisable.
Ah wow interesting story, thanks for sharing. Yeah it's unfortunate that even in a very touristy city there are really slummy areas and obvious poverty.
Hurghada is one of the safest cities in the World, and you can walk around safely day and night, without any risk. Wherever you go, if you go there with a negative opinion in mind, you will search for any detail confirming your negative idea...
Why your guys want to go to Hurghada? It's a tourist city and always was; snorkeling, diving, sunbathing that's all...no actually sightseeing...and yes there are several free beaches in town
I was there also in a resort, this was the worst holiday of my life. I went there all inclusive but i had to pay extra for toilet paper if i was late in the morning i didnt get food.. they had 30 cocktails but you had to pay extra for 26 of them ... Then some insect stung me on the beach i almost died from an allergic reaction, but those fukkermutters told me to wait for 30 minuten for the bus, then i ran for my life almost diyng back to hotel on 60 degrees Celsius stones without shoes. Then i was done i cancelled this holiday after 4 days paying an extra 900 euros to come back home. And this is only 20% of my story. I totally feel you and please people never go their! 80% of people wants only your money. Everybody speaks english (they say) but like 5% can speak it. This place sucks, the people sucks, everything is filthy 🤬😤🤬😤😤😤🤬🤬 NEVER GO THERE!
@@benbrazyoutube thank you for your response in a couple of days my lawyer is back from holiday and i will make a film about this scheise kanker hoeren place. I will show the world everything
Gast, je hebt gewoon pech gehad.. Ik ben er talloze keren geweest. Altijd leuk en gezellig. Er zijn zeker minpunten maar dat heb je overal toch. Verkeerde hotel gekozen. Tip : Ga naar Marsa Alam, als de stad niks voor je is.
@@tamaela1 gab als de stad niks voor mij is heb jij wel hersens ik kom uit Amsterdam ik ben geboren in de gestoordste stad van de wereld. Dit is kanker onzin want je moet eerst 20 km op je blote voeten over 60 graden tegels rennen voordat je ergens komt. .

Nobody cares about your opinion lol
Prob old and taking advantage of someone young. Egypt is the new one beyond you freaks

Ah ok my mistake. Thank you for clarifying that for me, and thank you for watching.
Holy shit Ben , you look like a new man . Definitely a tourist city , looks like you couldnt wait to get out of there . Merry Christmas and a Happy new year to you .
Thanks Mike, Merry Christmas to you too! Lots more travels to come in the new year
Hi Ben, I like this video. I am in Hurghada right now, spend all day looking for beaches around. No much luck. Would you recommend other beach town?

Merry Christmas Ben! Where is Obélix?
Merry Christmas Stephen! Do you mean Braca? Haha he's in Asia now, maybe I'll meet him in the new year somewhere
Mr. Clean cut. Looks good. Yep, I don't like the vibe of that city.
Thanks Art! I think I'll get haircuts more often. Happy holidays!

Why your guys want to go to Hurghada? It's a tourist city and always was; snorkeling, diving, sunbathing that's all...no actually sightseeing...and yes there are several free beaches in town
