In the order in terms of area between the cities of the Red Sea Governorate after the cities of Ras Ghareb, Safaga and Al-Qusayr The urban mass of the city extends on the coastal road parallel to the Red Sea coast, at an estimated distance of 23 km, while its extension inland does not exceed 3.6 km. The old city of Hurghada (Al-Dahar) extends in a longitudinal strip, confined between two limestone plateaus, one in the east between the old city and the coast, and the other in the west. Therefore, Hurghada is located on a coastal plain, the extent of which varies from one region to another Its width ranges from 8 to 35 km. This shows the multiplicity of patterns of the urban fabric of the city, where the automatic and network fabric is concentrated in the nucleus of the city where the urbanization is random, which is characterized by poor and medium-sized buildings, most of which are cohesive, in addition to the narrow and tortuous roads and streets whose width ranges between 3 to 6 meters approximately. As for the organized net and strip fabric, it prevails in the new urban extensions The city of Hurghada originated in 1905. In the past, the city included only a group of primitive houses inhabited by the Bedouins, who were mainly stationed in the Sakkala area to work in fishing and pearls, which gave the city a Bedouin character that continues with it until now. During the reign of King Farouk, a rest house was built, and it was transformed after nationalization during the reign of President Gamal Abdel Nasser to the building of the Armed Forces Club for Water Sports, which is a tourist attraction until now Oil was produced in that region in 1913, and actual production and export of it began in 1921. The English-Egyptian Oil Wells Company Ltd. was one of the first companies to start producing oil in this region. In 1972, the Israeli forces tried to occupy Shadwan Island, but the men of the Egyptian armed forces confronted them, and they were able to defeat them and expel them from the island within hours in what is known as the Battle of Shadwan, which is the date on which the Red Sea governorate celebrates its national holiday
