Hurghada offers many activities not to be found anywhere else on Earth. Quad-biking hundreds of miles into the Sahara desert for tea with a Bedoin tribe, then camel-riding across Biblical plains to see remote and ancient wonders; diving and snorkelling around a vibrant and colourful coral reef; boat trips to the unpopulated Big and Little Gifton islands; swimming in the warmest and saltiest sea in the world (the Red Sea is more saline than even the Dead Sea. Golf The Cascades Golf Resort and Country Club is located on the Red Sea coast within the Soma Bay development, about 40 km south of Hurghada. The course is designed by Gary Player, one of the most famous golfers in the world. Soma Bay is well known for its beautiful beaches and for its location directly on the shore. 360 days sunshine a year, perfect temperatures in winter (25 C) as well as in summer (35 C). Wind Surfing Experience an unforgettable daily trip with the Catamaran around Giftun Island. Stop on a beautiful sandy beach for a snorkelling break. When the wind is strong (5-6Bft) we offer a fantastic half day trip to a shallow lagoon sailing in the double harness. Explore the Red Sea with an additional 18 m2 sail surface. The Surf & Cat Action center is the center point of the two resorts: Arabella and Arabia Hotels and lies directly on the beach in a wonderful lagoon. Safety for beginners: The lagoon is an ideal place to start, it is approx. 700 m wide and 800 m long, to prevent drifting out inadvertently to the open sea. Outside of the lagoon experienced cat sailers and surfers can find a great open space, the wind usually comes side shore. The Giftun Island is located 4-5 km away from the hotel and is great fun for the more experienced. Surfers find super conditions, depending upon wind (in the morning stronger) you may even find waves up to 1 and 2 meters high. A unique experience is the 6 km crossing to an Island where you find a calm shallow lagoon for resting before your adrenaline surf in strong wind back to the surf station.
