Operated since 2024 by AD Ports Group under a 15-year concession covering Hurghada, Sharm El Sheikh and Safaga, Hurghada (officially El Ghardaqa) is a passenger and cruise port on Egypt's Red Sea coast rather than a freight gateway. Its activity centres on tourism and an intermittent passenger ferry to Sharm El Sheikh; there is no established commercial cargo berth, container or customs operation here. For forwarders the port is therefore of limited use. Red Sea freight is handled at nearby Safaga, which moves bulk such as phosphates and grain, or at Ain Sokhna on the Gulf of Suez for container traffic. Hurghada's value lies in passengers and cruise calls, not in cargo.
