The Hurghada Tourist Walkway—also known locally as El Mamsha or the Corniche—is a beautifully revamped seaside promenade stretching along the Red Sea coast in Hurghada, Egypt.
Highlights & Features
Length & Scope: Originally built over 20 years ago, the walkway has been extended and upgraded in phases. The most recent third phase extends it to a total of 8 km, costing around 100 million LE, funded by local hotels and resorts
Design & Atmosphere: Designed with European-style aesthetic sensibilities, it features wide pathways, vibrant interlocking paving, lush green spaces, and modern energy-efficient lighting
Facilities: Along the route you’ll find a dedicated cycling lane, numerous benches (~200 seats), shaded pergolas and umbrellas, about 80 statues, cafes, tourist shops, parking zones, public restrooms, and cafeterias
Accessibility: Open 24/7 and free to access—locals and tourists enjoy leisurely walks by day, and picturesque evening strolls with stunning sunset views over the Red Sea
Community Impact: The project not only beautifies the coastal area but also boosts the local economy by creating jobs and supporting small businesses and bazaars
