Hurghada's Beach Access: A Tale of Two Worlds

Hurghada's Hidden Cost: The Struggle for Public Beach Access Hurghada, Egypt, a popular tourist destination known for its stunning Red Sea coastline, faces a hidden challenge: limited access to public beaches. Many beaches are privately owned or controlled, requiring entry fees that exclude many locals. This issue is highlighted in a recent video by a Polish woman living in the city. "It's very sad," she says, "to live by a beautiful sea but not have full access to it because not everyone can afford to pay for entry." She points to a free beach, Felafel, as an example, but notes its poor condition and lack of amenities. This contrasts sharply with her experience in her hometown of Gdansk, Poland, where public beaches are easily accessible and free. The video sparks a discussion about equitable access to public spaces in tourist destinations. It raises questions about the balance between commercial interests and the needs of local communities. The situation in Hurghada underscores the importance of ensuring that the benefits of tourism are shared by all residents, not just those who can afford it.
