TL;DR
For a tight connection, follow signs for the Short transfer/security route, which is often quicker. Gates can be far apart at Hurghada Airport, so allow extra walking time.
Check the distance to your departure gate on the airport map or navigation app before connecting: the walk can take a while, especially with children, carry-on bags, or at a relaxed pace.
Do not choose a security queue solely because it looks shorter: several lines may be processed at the same time, so the apparent time saving can disappear.
For a short layover, follow signs for the Short route and use that security checkpoint, as it usually has a shorter wait. With a long connection you can take your time, but keep track of the walk between terminal areas and gates.
