Hurghada has been named one of ten standout global destinations for September by the American travel magazine AFAR, according to a report published on 28 September by the Arabic travel site youlyou.com.
That is as far as the report goes. It does not set out AFAR's reasoning for choosing Hurghada, does not say where the city sits among the ten, and does not name the other nine destinations on the list. Nor does it quote anyone from the magazine or from the Red Sea tourism authorities.
The listing lands as the coast moves into its winter season, which this site has reported is opening with Hurghada hotels past 90% occupancy and the airport preparing for 100 to 120 flights a day. For visitors, an international magazine mention changes nothing practical about a trip; what it does is keep Hurghada in front of a readership that books long-haul and off-season travel, which is the market the coast's hoteliers have been pricing for this winter.
