We leave sadly demised Aluminium from the port of Safaga for Hurghada (Al Ghardaqah, الغردقة), only a half hour drive for those who manage to survive the Egyptian code of the road..
Hurghada dates back to the early 20th century, and has spiraled from uninsignificant fisherman’s village to the buzzy and leading seashore resort on the Red Sea it now is, attracting all-inclusive guests, notably Italians, Russians, English, Czechs and Germans.
Hurghada is home to Grand Club, a company team affiliated to Grand Hotel, playing their home games at a humble ground, almost void of facilities. The massive Steigenberger Al Dau Beach Hotel can be clearly seen from a miniscule elevated shed that serves as the only covered part of the ground.
The ground is located on the main road from Safaga leading to Hurghada’s new police station in the vicinity of the airport. Anorak’s haven.
