HOST CITY
HOST CITY FOR THE FINALE Sahl Hasheesh Hurghada
The city Sahl Hasheesh is near Hurghada. Hurghada was founded in the early 20th century, and until a few years ago it was a small fishing village. But since the 1980s, it has been continually enlarged by Egyptian and foreign investors to become the leading coastal resort on the Red Sea. Holiday villages and hotels provide aquatic sport facilities for windsurfers, kite surfers, yachtsmen, scuba divers and snorkelers. Hurghada is known for its water sports activities, nightlife and warm weather. Daily temperature hovers round 30 °C (86 °F) most of the year, during July and August temperatures reach over 40 °C (104 °F).
Hurghada stretches for about 36 kilometers (22. Miles) along the seashore, and it does not reach far into the surrounding desert. The resort is a destination for Egyptian tourists from Cairo, the Delta and Upper Egypt, as well as package holiday tourists from Europe. Today, Hurghada counts 248,000 inhabitants and is divided into:
• El Ahia and El Helal, the northern part;
• El Dahar (Downtown) is the old part;
• Sekalla is the city center;
• El Kawsar is the modern part;
• El Memsha (Village road) is a pedestrian road stretching over 4 km.
The city is served by the Hurghada International Airport, with scheduled passenger traffic connecting to Cairo and directly with several cities in Europe. A new terminal was opened in 2015 to accommodate rising traffic. To Sahl Hasheesh it is about 18km from the Airport
