Egipat / Hurghada

HURGHADA poznata kao „Biser egipatske obale“ sa preko 350 sunčanih dana u godini, je najznačajniji turistički centar Egipta na zapadnoj obali Crvenog mora, 500 kilometara jugoistočno od glavnog grada Kaira. Takođe je i administrativni centar provincije Crveno more, jedne od 26 provincija Egipta. Ne tako davno, Hurgada je bila malo ribarsko mjesto. Danas je jedinstvena destinacija gdje možete uživati na predivnim plažama i hotelskim kompleksima u kojima će svi gosti naći sadržaj za sebe, u čistom i toplom Crvenom moru sa svojim šarolikim podvodnim svijetom i nestvarnim koralnim grebenima, u šopingu, mnogobrojnim izletima i egipatskoj tradicionalnoj hrani. Prostire se na 80 km obale Crvenog mora, a podjeljena je na Sakalu, El Dahar i El Memshu, uz još tri turistička centra – Sahl Hasheesh, Makadi Bay i Soma Bay.

Iako su glavne atrakcije Hurgade nesumnjivo vezane za plažu i kristalno čisto Crveno more, ovo egipatsko ljetovalište svojim posjetiocima nudi i druge brojne sadržaje, od obilaska Rajskih ostrva preko pustinje i obližnjih beduinskih sela, pa do izleta u Luksor, Kairo, Gizu te krstarenje Nilom.

Turistički vodič

EL DAHAR - najstariji dio Hurgade, administrativni centar u kome se nalazi glavna pošta, autobuska stanica za međugradski saobracaj, bazar i pijaca, policijska stanica i gradska uprava. U Daharu živi većina lokalnog stanovništva. Od Sakale je udaljen 6 km, od novog turističkog centra Memša 12 km i aerodroma 15 km. SAKALA - spoj starog tradicionalnog Egipta (brojne radnje, suvenirnice, restorani nacionalne kuhinje) i savremenih turistickih (hoteli različitih kategorija, nova marina, šetalište, restorani, klubovi i barovi uz obalu mora). Sakala se nalazi 6 km južno od El Dahara, 6 km sjeverno od turističkog centra Memša i 7 km od aerodroma. EL MEMSHA - novi turistički centar Hurgade, turistička oblast Hurgade koja se veoma brzo razvila, sa dugačkim popločanim i uređenim šetalištem na kome se nalaze raskošni hoteli, veliki broj prodavnica, marketa, tržnica, restorana i poznatih barova i klubova, Hard Rock Café, Little Buddha, Elements. Na svega 2 km paralelno sa šetalištem se nalazi Međunarodni Aerodrom Hurgada. SAHL HASHEESH (SAHL HAŠIŠ) - turistička zona, pravi biser Crvenog mora, dobila je naziv po istoimenom zalivu,. Ekskluzivni dio južne Hurgade koga ćine raskošni hotelski kompleksi izgrađeni uz samu morsku obalu a povezani šetalištem dužine 8 km uz samo more. Od novog centra Memša je udaljen 18 km, a od starog centra Sakala 26 km. SOMA BAY - turistička zona na krajnjem jugu ljetovališta Hurgada, u istoimenom zalivu, nadomak grada Safaga, udaljen od Memše oko 45 km. Soma Bay je poznat po luksuznim hotelskim kompleksima i dugačkoj pješčanoj plaži (oko 5 km pješčane duž zaliva). Koralni grebeni u moru idealni su za goste koji vole ronjenje i kao takav predstavlja zaštićenu zonu regije Crvenog mora. Idealan je za miran odmor u luksuznim hotelima grđdenim u pustinji uz obalu Crvenog mora. EL GOUNA - Počeci razvoja ovog odmarališta vezani su uz potragu za najljepšim mjestom pod suncem, gdje je prije otprilike dva desetljeća Samih Sawiris, jedan od najbogatijih Egipćana, želio sagraditi kuću i mol za vezivanje čamca. Pronašao ga je sjeverno od Hurgade, u kraju gdje je azurna boja mora okružena planinama očarala i njegova prijatelja." Egipatska Venecija", koja je samo 22 km udaljena od Hurgade, razvila se u jedno od najekskluzivnijih i najmondenijih turističkih odmarališta na obali Crvenog mora, gdje najbogatiji Egipćani imaju svoje ljetnikovce i raskošne vile. Svoje su hotele izgradili i poznati svjetski lanci. Njihovi hoteli nude šarenu paletu sportskih aktivnosti, živahnog noćnog života i mogućnosti istraživanja historijskih, arheoloških i kulturnih riznica Egipta. U El Gouni su i dobri restorani i trgovine, pravi bazar, kafane, diskoteke i galerije te moderna marina. MAKADI BAY - Noviji, prelijepo uređen raj za odmor uz Crveno more, s koraljnim grebenom, kvalitetnim turističkim objektima, bogatim izborom sportskih aktivnosti i gastronomskih užitaka u brojnim restoranima, garant su bezbrižnog odmora. Središnji dio čini Souk Makadi s restoranima, wellness ponudom, igraonicama, apotekom, bankom i trgovinama.

World  /  Europe  /  Russia  / Moscow City View from the Highest Tower In Europe

Moscow City View from the Highest Tower In Europe

This May with the help of Dmitry Chistoprudov we came on the roof of the Capitals' City building complex. We were standing there at a height of 300 meters above Moscow and shooting several spherical panoramas from the highest tower in Europe.  

Moscow City is the most famous uncompleted construction project of Russian capital surrounded with the gossips, scandals, intrigues, bankrupts and events. However, undoubtedly, this pathos project will occupy its place in the architectural history and will become a new face of Moscow if not having eclipsed Stalin style architecture then at least will press it.

Having planned to build a modern business center in the beginning of 1990-s which would have met all the new city planning trends and ideas, Moscow authorities expected the participation of numerous interested investors.  However, the problems followed the project almost since it had begun. A record sum of money - one billion rubles - was stolen fast enough. Then the constant changes in the managing company membership began. As for the investors, taking in consideration this typically Russian reality they didn't want to invest in New Vasiuki at all.

The city authorities had to invest budget rubles in order "a construction of the century" to be realized, however, it didn't help and the preliminary plans to finish the construction by 1999 were destroyed. During 15 years only 2 objects were completely finished: the commercial and pedestrian bridge Bagration and the office complex Tower-2000.

Since the number of new buildings was going on growing, the unexpected problem, like a bolt from the blue, appeared.  It became clear that for those years nobody cared of transport and energy infrastructure. Neither interchanges nor two underground stations save the complex from a dense traffic jam and the power of the planned substations, according to the expert estimations, is not enough for the regular functioning of all the skyscrapers.

In spite of this, the construction is still going on and yearly the new buildings appear. And the delivery term of the last ones which are the Exhibition&Business Complex and the Evolution Tower is going to be 2014. 

In the course of construction the severe reality affected the ambitious plans of Moscow authorities. The saddest fate overtook Russia Tower which was the project of the famous architect Norman Foster who is the author of the Millennium Bridge in London and the Reichstag's Dome in Berlin as well as many other significant buildings all around the world.

For such megalopolis as Moscow Foster was lavish in size: the altitude of Russia Tower was planned at a level of one thousand meters.  He assured that the tower of pyramid form was considered to be steady, but they did not believe him and the final agreed project wasn't more than 612 meters height. Anyway, it would have been the highest in the world. For example, the altitude of the Empire State Building in the USA is 381 meters and the Thai Bay Tower - 101 in Taiwan is 508 meters. The realization of such a grandiose project even in stable time, before crisis, was estimated at more than one and a half billion dollars.  

Meanwhile, the crisis did its worst and, finally, on the place which had been planned for the 600-meter tower the ordinary parking for three thousand cars appeared.  But, for sure, there is no such foundation pit in the world which had such a pathos ideas and venerable architects!

At the same time, now there is the highest, if not in the world but in Europe, tower in Moscow City complex.  The matter is the Capitals' City complex by Capital Group, which consists of Moscow Building of 73 floors and 301.6 meters height and Saint Petersburg Building of 62 floors and 257 meters height.

Well, these panoramas were shot exactly from the roof of Moscow Tower.

We are grateful to Capital Group and Dmitry Chistoprudov for the assistance in this shooting's realization.

Here is a quick look at the seasons so you can decide when to visit Moscow!

The summer months (June-August) are a great time to travel to Moscow to take advantage of the enjoyable mild temperatures. This is considered peak travel season. Bear in mind that hotel prices rise along with the temperatures!

If you’re planning a trip to Moscow during fall (September-November) try to plan for early fall. This way the temperatures will still be pleasant and winter won’t be threatening.

Russian winters (December-February) are not for the faint of heart as Napoleon learned to his peril. Some days the sun will be out for less than an hour, and snow is guaranteed. Although winters are exceptionally cold, this is when you’ll get a true glimpse of the Moscow experience!

The best time to visit Moscow is during spring  (March-May). The temperatures will begin to creep up and the sun begins to shine for significant portions of the day. Hotel rates will also have yet to skyrocket into peak ranges!

With a Moscow City Pass , you can experience the best of Moscow at the CHEAPEST prices. Discounts, attractions, tickets, and even public transport are all standards in any good city pass – be sure invest now and save them $$$ when you arrive!

Moscow is a large city with many accommodation options to choose from. Staying in a location that fits with your travel plans will only enhance your Moscow itinerary. Here is a brief introduction to a few great areas of the city we recommend checking out!

The best place to stay in Moscow to be close to all the action is Kitay-Gorod. This charming neighborhood will put you within walking distance to Moscow’s famous Red Square, thus cutting down on travel time. This will allow you to see more of the city in a shorter amount of time!

It’s surrounded by restaurants, cafes, bars, and shops. If you’re a first-time visitor to Moscow, or just planning a quick weekend in Moscow, then this area is perfect for you!

Another great area to consider is the Zamoskvorechye district. This area of the city offers a blend of new and old Moscow. It has an artsy vibe and there are plenty of fun sites you can explore outside of the main touristy areas of Moscow.

Of course, as in all areas of Moscow, it’s close to public transportation that will quickly connect you with the rest of the city and make your Moscow itinerary super accessible!

Best Airbnb in Moscow – Exclusive Apartment in Old Moscow

Modern and cozy, this apartment is in the heart of Old Moscow. Bordering the Basmanny and Kitay-Gorod districts, this two-bedroom flat is walking distance to the Kremlin and Red Square. Safe, quiet, and comfortable, this is the best Airbnb in Moscow, no question!

An important aspect of planning any trip is figuring out the transportation situation. You’re probably wondering how you’re going to get to all of your Moscow points of interest right? Luckily, this sprawling city has an excellent network of public transportation that will make traveling a breeze!

The underground metro system is the quickest and most efficient way to travel around Moscow. Most visitors rely exclusively on this super-efficient transportation system, which allows you to get to pretty much anywhere in the city! It’s also a great option if you’re planning a Moscow itinerary during the colder months, as you’ll be sheltered from the snow and freezing temperatures!

If you prefer above-ground transportation, buses, trams, and trolleybuses, run throughout the city and provide a rather comfortable alternative to the metro.

Moscow’s metro, buses, trams, and trolleybuses are all accessible with a ‘Troika’ card. This card can be topped up with any sum of money at a metro cash desk. The ticket is simple, convenient, and even refundable upon return to a cashier!

No matter which method you choose, you’ll never find yourself without an easy means of getting from point A to point B!

• Food nearby: Check out Bar BQ Cafe for friendly service and good food in a great location! The atmosphere is upbeat and they’re open 24/7!

The Red Square is Moscow’s historic fortress and the center of the Russian government. The origins of the square date back to the late 15th century, when Ivan the Great decided to expand the Kremlin to reflect Moscow’s growing power and prestige!

During the 20th century, the square became famous as the site for demonstrations designed to showcase Soviet strength. Visiting the Red Square today, you’ll find it teeming with tourists, who come to witness its magical architecture up close!

The square is the picture postcard of Russian tourism, so make sure to bring your camera when you visit! No matter the season, or the time of day, it’s delightfully photogenic! 

It’s also home to some of Russia’s most distinguishing and important landmarks, which we’ve made sure to include further down in this itinerary. It’s an important center of Russia’s cultural life and one of the top places to visit in Moscow!

In 1990, UNESCO designated Russia’s Red Square as a World Heritage site. Visiting this historic site is a true bucket-list event and essential addition to your itinerary for Moscow!

Day 1 / Stop 2 – The Moscow Kremlin

• Why it’s awesome: The Moscow Kremlin complex includes several palaces and cathedrals and is surrounded by the Kremlin wall. It also houses the principal museum of Russia (the Kremlin Armory).
• Cost: USD $15.00
• Food nearby: Bosco Cafe is a charming place to grat a casual bite to eat. They have excellent coffee and wonderful views of the Red Square and the Moscow Kremlin!

The iconic Moscow Kremlin , also known as the Kremlin museum complex, sits on Borovitsky Hill, rising above the Moscow River. It is a fortified complex in the center of the city, overlooking several iconic buildings in the Red Square!

It’s the best known of the Russian Kremlins – citadels or fortress’ protecting and dominating a city. During the early decades of the Soviet era, the Kremlin was a private enclave where the state’s governing elite lived and worked.

The Kremlin is outlined by an irregularly shaped triangular wall that encloses an area of 68 acres! The existing walls and towers were built from 1485 to 1495. Inside the Kremlin museum complex, there are five palaces, four cathedrals, and the enclosing Kremlin Wall with Kremlin towers.

The Armoury Chamber is a part of the Grand Kremlin Palace’s complex and is one of the oldest museums of Moscow, established in 1851. It showcases Russian history and displays many cherished relics. Definitely make sure to check out this museum while you’re here!

The churches inside the Moscow Kremlin are the Cathedral of the Dormition, Church of the Archangel, Church of the Annunciation, and the bell tower of Ivan Veliki (a church tower).

The five-domed Cathedral of the Dormition is considered the most famous. It was built from 1475–1479 by an Italian architect and has served as a wedding and coronation place for great princes, tsars, and emperors of Russia. Church services are given in the Kremlin’s numerous cathedrals on a regular basis.

The Grand Kremlin Palace was the former Tsar’s Moscow residence and today it serves as the official workplace of the President of the Russian Federation (Vladimir Putin seems to have bagged that title for life) .

Insider Tip: The Kremlin is closed every Thursday! Make sure to plan this stop on your Moscow itinerary for any other day of the week!

Day 1 / Stop 3 – Lenin’s Mausoleum

• Why it’s awesome: The mausoleum displays the preserved body of Soviet leader Vladimir Lenin .
• Cost: Free!
• Food nearby: Khinkal’naya is a charming Georgian restaurant with vaulted ceilings and exposed brick. It’s a popular place with locals and right next to the Red Square!

Lenin’s Mausoleum, also known as Lenin’s Tomb, is the modernist mausoleum for the revolutionary leader Vladimir Lenin. It’s located within the Red Square and serves as the resting place for the Soviet leader! His preserved body has been on public display since shortly after his death in 1924.

It’s located just a few steps away from the Kremlin Wall and is one of the most controversial yet popular Moscow attractions!

Admission is free for everyone, you’ll only need to pay if you need to check a bag. Before visitors are allowed to enter the mausoleum, they have to go through a metal detector first. No metal objects, liquids, or large bags are allowed in the mausoleum!

Expect a line to enter the building, and while you’re inside the building, you’ll be constantly moving in line with other visitors. This means you won’t be able to spend as long as you’d like viewing the mausoleum, but you’ll still be able to get a good look. Pictures and filming while inside the building are strictly prohibited, and security guards will stop you if they see you breaking this rule.

The mausoleum is only open on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday – unless it’s a public holiday or a day scheduled for maintenance. The hours it’s open for each day are limited, make sure to check online before you visit to make sure you can fit this into your Moscow itinerary for that day!

Insider Tip: The Lenin’s Museum is there for people to pay their respect; remember to keep silent and move along quickly, it’s not intended for people to congregate around. Also, men are not allowed to wear hats and everyone must take their hands out of their pockets when inside the building.

Day 1 / Stop 4 – St. Basil’s Cathedral

• Why it’s awesome: A dazzling designed cathedral that showcases Russia’s unique architecture. This cathedral is one of the most recognizable symbols of the country!
• Cost: USD $8.00
• Food nearby: Moskovskiy Chaynyy Klub is a cozy cafe serving food items and pipping hot tea; it’s the perfect place to go if you’re visiting Moscow during the winter months!

Located in the Red Square, the ornate 16th-century St. Basil’s Cathedral is probably the building you picture when you think of Moscow’s unique architecture. Its colorful onion-shaped domes tower over the Moscow skyline!

The cathedral was built from 1555-1561 by order of Tsar Ivan the Terrible. It was designed with an iconic onion dome facade and enchanting colors that captivate all who see it. Fun fact: If you’re wondering why Russian churches have onion domes, they are popularly believed to symbolize burning candles!

This iconic cathedral has become a symbol of Russia due to its distinguishing architecture and prominent position inside the Red Square. It’s one of the most beautiful, wonderful, and mesmerizing historical cathedrals in the world!

The interior of the church surprises most people when they visit. In contrast to the large exterior, the inside is not so much one large area, but rather a collection of smaller areas, with many corridors and small rooms. There are 9 small chapels and one mausoleum grouped around a central tower.

Visiting the inside is like walking through a maze, there are even small signs all around the cathedral tracing where to walk, and pointing you in the right direction! The walls are meticulously decorated and painted with intricate floral designs and religious themes.

The church rarely holds service and is instead a museum open for the public to visit.

Insider Tip: During the summer months the line to go inside the cathedral can get quite long! Make sure to arrive early or reserve your tickets online to guarantee quick access into the cathedral!

Located in the upper garden, towards the main entrance to the park is the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier with its eternal flame. This monument was created in 1967 and contains the body of a soldier who fell during the Great Patriotic War!

The park stretches along all the length of the western Kremlin wall for about half a mile. Due to its central location in the city, it’ll be easily accessible when you’re out exploring The Red Square.

Ostankino Television Tower

The Izmailovo Kremlin was established as a cultural center and molded after traditional Russian architecture. This colorful complex is home to several single-subject museums, including a Russian folk art museum and a vodka museum!

Next to the Kremlin is the Izmailovo open-air market, which dates back to the 17th century! The market is connected to the Izmailovo Kremlin by a wooden bridge. Pick up all your Russian souvenirs here, including traditional handicrafts, paintings, books, retro toys, and Soviet memorabilia!

For something a little different, check out the Museum of Soviet Arcade Games! The museum features roughly 60 machines from the Soviet era, including video games, pinball machines, and collaborative hockey foosball! The machines inside the museum were produced in the USSR in the mid-1970s.

The best part is, most of the games are still playable! Purchase tickets and try the games out for yourself! The museum also has a neat little screening room that plays old Soviet cartoons and an area with Soviet magazines! This unique attraction is a fun addition to a 3 day itinerary in Moscow, and an attraction that all ages will enjoy! 

Whether you’re spending one day in Moscow, or more, safety is an important thing to keep in mind when traveling to a big city! Overall, Moscow is a very safe place to visit. However, it is always recommended that tourists take certain precautions when traveling to a new destination!

The police in Moscow is extremely effective at making the city a safe place to visit and do their best to patrol all of the top Moscow, Russia tourist attractions. However, tourists can still be a target for pickpockets and scammers.

Moscow has a huge flow of tourists, therefore there is a risk for pickpocketing. Simple precautions will help eliminate your chances of being robbed. Stay vigilant, keep your items close to you at all times, and don’t flash your valuables!

If you’re planning a solo Moscow itinerary, you should have no need to worry, as the city is also considered safe for solo travelers, even women. Stay in the populated areas, try and not travel alone late at night, and never accept rides from strangers or taxis without a meter and correct signage.

The threat of natural disasters in Moscow is low, with the exception of severe winters when the temperature can dip below freezing! Bring a good, warm jacket if you visit in Winter.

However, please note that Russian views on homsexuality are far less accepting than those in Western Europe. Likewise, Non-Caucasian travellers may sadly encounter racism in Russia .

Inside billionaire Ankur Jain, Erika Hammond’s wild Egypt wedding: Private jets, pyramids and celebs

• View Author Archive

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

Billionaire Ankur Jain and former WWE wrestler Erika Hammond tied the knot Friday in an over-the-top ceremony that took place in front of the Great Pyramids in Egypt.

“We’re New Yorkers and there’s something so special about being in a completely different world environment,” Jain, the founder and CEO of tech company Bilt Rewards, told People following their nuptials.

“So we decided, our wedding is about having a moment together to celebrate the new beginning, having a really special party with our friends somewhere where you’re in a different world.” (Jain had originally suggested getting married in space, but Hammond was not keen on the idea.)

While the location of their wedding was unique, it wasn’t the only unorthodox detail about their celebrations: The couple had no bridal party and no wedding cake — although they did serve a birthday cake from Milk Bar.

“I had no idea what the napkins looked like or what the table setting looked like,” Hammond, 32, told People.

Jain, 34, added, “We’re not traditional wedding people. Why do you have to spend $20,000 on flowers? It doesn’t make sense.”

The couple worked to make their dream wedding with an event company called Vertex.

The one detail they were certainly involved in was the transportation of their wedding guests from the safari they brought them on in Africa back to Cairo for their ceremony.

Ahead of their welcome party, their private Egypt Air flight was halted by the South African government, leaving them in a huge bind. After the bride and groom stayed up hours trying to get their guests to Egypt, they eventually pulled it off — but it made their welcome event kick off three hours late.

“We partied until 5 a.m. having just the best opening night,” Jain recalled to People April 25. The event, which was held at the Muhammed Ali Palace, had a “Modern Cairo” theme and featured belly and fire dancers.

Jain and Hammond’s 130-person guest list was impressive as well. Some of the biggest celebrities celebrated their love, including Lance Bass and his husband, Michael Turchin, Robin Thicke and his wife, April Love Geary, “Shark Tank” investor Kevin O’Leary and his wife, Linda, influencer Serena Kerrigan, several politicians and prominent businesspeople.

Thicke, 47, surprised guests with a performance, while Bass, 44, gave an impromptu show of “Bye, Bye, Bye” near the end of the night after a stunning fireworks show over the pyramids.

“We had the best time. It was so special,” Jain gushed to the outlet. “When the fireworks went off, it was one of the most spectacular moments. I was so emotional, I couldn’t even put it into words.”

The newlyweds met at Rumble Boxing, where Hammond is a founding member. She was also an instructor there when they first interacted.

A few years later, they hit it off and got engaged in November 2022.
