The last sizeable incoming production dates back to 2014, when Tom Tykwer’s Saudi Arabia-set drama A Hologram For The King, starring Tom Hanks, shot in the Red Sea resort city of Hurghada.

World Best Diving Point
Hurghada offers the best diving spots in the world and is only a 5-hour flight from Europe. It is sunny throughout the year, with crystal clear waters, visibility over 30m, and water temperatures of 30 degrees in late summer. Except for the beautiful and spectacular marine life.
Location of Hurghada
Egypt is close to Europe. For example, it takes about 5 hours to fly from Northern Europe and the United Kingdom to visit Hurghada. Competing with Asia, where the flight takes about 12 hours, Egypt is very close. If you don’t want to spend the 12 hours after your vacation on the plane with screaming children and the fear of stroke, choose Egypt. Especially if you are on a business trip a week, it is best to fly nearby. Flying nearby is also more environmentally friendly.
Wonderful Beach Life
Hurghada has some of the best beaches in the Red Sea. Take a day off to dive and soak up the sun on the vast public or private beach. The water is obvious, and most of the beaches are gentle slopes. It also offers a variety of water sports, including some of the best kite surfing and windsurfing conditions in the world and water skiing, jet skiing, and more.
