Dahar is the oldest part of Hurghada and it’s also called Downtown. One could say, that El Dahar is the most Egyptian area in Hurghada. Other areas are built around tourism, so if you want to see and explore real Egypt in Hurghada, go to visit in El Dahar.
In addition to its authentic atmosphere, El Dahar is famous for its Vegetable market (El Dahar market), Souk (Bazaar area) and Coptic Church. All of these are free of charge and therefore should be visited.
All of these things to see and experience in El Dahar are located close to El Dahar Square. El Dahar square in Arabic midan el Dahar is the heart of El Dahar.
When you go to visit in Dahar, ask a taxi, uber or careem to take you to El Dahar Square (Midan El Dahar). And you get there.
Last time I paid 30 Egyptian pounds for going with Uber from the beginning of Sheraton Street to El Dahar square. If you take a microbus El Dahar square is the last stop. Microbus costs 2 Egyptian pounds from Sheraton to Dahar.
