The views of experts about the true age of Hurghada are open for debate, but virtually all experts on the history of the city agree with the view that it is one of the most ancient settlements on the Red Sea. The first mention of a settlement on this site, is mentioned in approximately 50 A.D  At this early time, the area was inhabited  Roman legions.  Over time, the descendants of Legionnaires became fishermen, who lived in the centre of Sakkala.

The area is abundant with a variety of hotel, beaches, discos, restaurants, cafes, souvenir shops and supermarkets.
