El Mina Mosque is one of Hurghada’s most iconic religious landmarks. Opened in 2012, the mosque spans 8,000 square meters and was constructed at a cost of 20 million Egyptian pounds. Situated directly on the Red Sea, its stunning coastal location adds to its serene and majestic atmosphere.
The mosque can accommodate up to 10,000 worshipers and features two towering minarets, 25 intricately designed domes, an elegant event hall, and a dedicated space for lectures.

Walk into an amazing marina adventure.
Get ready for an unforgettable experience as you take part in parasailing — an exhilarating activity where one or two people are harnessed to a parachute and lifted into the air while being towed behind a boat. You'll soar up to 40–50 meters (about 164 feet) for a thrilling 7–10 minute flight. No training is required; your friendly and experienced captain and crew will handle everything to ensure your safety and comfort. You can choose to fly solo or with a partner.
You’ll also have the chance to ride the Zego, a cutting-edge watercraft designed and built in New Zealand, the birthplace of many extreme sports. These crafts are known for their reliability, durability, and safety — and they’re brand new to the adventure scene.
