Many people choose Hurghada for permanent residence because of its climate. It’s warm and sunny all year round. Thanks to the dry climate, the summer heat is easier to tolerate here than in, for example, Turkey. There’s no seasonal flowering of plants that can trigger allergies, which is why many come here to improve their health. The sea stays warm even in winter, and the winters themselves are mild and comfortable. Hurghada is also popular with kite surfers, as warm winds blow frequently. Athletes can train outdoors all year. Watching them from the shore is a real pleasure. The sun shines every day without exception. Rare cloudy days are perceived as something special, and on such days everyone looks forward to the sunset, when the sky turns into a beautiful painter’s palette.
