Port Safaga, also known as Safaga ({{lang-arz|سفاجا}} {{transl|arz|Safāga}}, {{IPA-arz|sæˈfæːɡæ|IPA}}), is a town in Egypt, on the coast of the Red Sea, located {{convert|53|km|mi|abbr=on}} south of Hurghada. This small port is also a tourist area that consists of several bungalows and rest houses, including the Safaga Hotel, with a capacity of 48 rooms (126 beds).

Having numerous phosphate mines, it is regarded as the phosphates export center. A paved road of {{convert|164|km|mi|abbr=on}} connects Safaga to Qena of Upper Egypt.

This port is also a gateway for Duba port to some pilgrims or travelers to Arabia, by ferries.

History

Safaga was a marine port connected by a regular cruise shuttle service line. The port town was founded between 282 BC and 268 BC, originally called Philotera (Φιλοτέρα) by the Greek Egyptian Pharaoh Ptolemy II Philadelphus, who named the town in honor of his deceased sister. Safaga City is considered one of the most important therapeutic tourist centres, as special medical researches have proved the potential of attracting international tourism to Safaga.

Safaga was a merchant port for many years. The town has a small tourism industry, specialising in scuba diving. It was the host of the 1993 Red Sea World Windsurfing Championships.

Climate

Köppen-Geiger climate classification system classifies its climate as hot desert (BWh),[2] as the rest of Egypt.

The highest record temperature was {{convert|46|C}} on July 30, 2002, while the lowest record temperature was {{convert|0|C}} on February 2, 1993.[3]
