Dahar, also known as Hurghada Old Town, is the historic heart of Hurghada, located along the western shore of the city’s main bay. Unlike the modern resort zones, Dahar offers a more authentic Egyptian experience with bustling local markets, traditional shops and historic mosques.
Yes, Dahar is home to several historic landmarks. The El-Mina Mosque, dating back over a century, is a prominent site with beautiful Islamic architecture. You’ll also find remnants of Hurghada’s fishing village past, including old fishermen’s huts and traditional wooden sailing boats (feluccas). Guided heritage walks are available for deeper insights.
Yes, haggling is expected and part of the shopping culture in Dahar’s markets. Start by offering around 50–60% of the asking price and negotiate politely. Friendly banter is common, and a smile goes a long way. Always agree on the price before making a purchase.
The best time to visit Dahar is late afternoon to evening, especially from October to April when the weather is cooler. Evenings are lively with locals and tourists enjoying dinner, shopping, and the sea breeze.
