Hurghada Grand Aquarium

Hurghada Grand Aquarium is a large facility with multiple exhibition areas dedicated to marine life from different habitats. Visitors walk through various halls with tanks for reef dwellers, deep-sea creatures, and other species, plus special sections for freshwater and forest environments.

The facility opened in 2015 as a modern project to bring the marine biodiversity of the region to the public. Its construction was part of efforts to develop Hurghada as a tourist destination.

The aquarium displays information about Red Sea marine life, which has been a foundation of livelihood and cultural identity for local communities for generations. Visitors can observe how this marine world connects to the daily life and traditions of the region.

The complex is easy to reach on foot and well signposted, with plenty of space to move between the different tanks. It helps to allow several hours for a visit, as there is much to see.

A standout feature is the large tanks with sharks and rays that visitors can observe from very close range by walking through a tunnel beneath them. This perspective allows guests to watch the animals from an unusually close vantage point.
