It is located in the so-called ‘second sea line’ and the beaches are within a 10-15-minute walk away. It borders with Mubarak-2 and Mubarak-6 areas. El Kawther has seen rapid growth in the last 5 years. In other words, all the houses in this area are new. The area offers a lot of shops, banks, restaurants and cafes, a hospital, supermarket, nursery schools, as well as German and French schools. The area is also famous for the top popular beaches of Hurghada - Old Vik and Dream Beach.
