TL;DR
For walking in Hurghada, travelers most often recommend Hurghada Marina and the Mamsha promenade. For a cleaner and more scenic atmosphere, many suggest a trip to El Gouna; the road toward Sahl Hasheesh is mentioned more for small shops than for a truly enjoyable walk.
Near the Marina, visitors can stop at the fish market, choose fresh fish or seafood, and have it cooked there. The city’s largest El Mina Mosque is nearby, as is El Halaka fish restaurant opposite the market.
For a walk with local character, head to Dahar, the old town: it has the Coptic Church of Saint Shenouda, a fruit market, and narrow local streets.
Another option is the Sheraton and lower Sheraton area, including pedestrian Sherry Street. It is suitable for strolling past cafés, shops, souvenir stalls, and supermarkets.
Hurghada Marina is mentioned as the most enjoyable walking area in the city itself. It is one of the few well-kept spots suitable for an evening stroll outside the resort.
Another commonly suggested option is Mamsha, the main tourist promenade in Hurghada. It is recommended for travelers who want an easy walk in a more resort-style area.
If you want a nicer outing rather than just a short walk, travelers suggest taking a trip to El Gouna. It is described as cleaner and more attractive than central Hurghada.
The area on the road to Sahl Hasheesh is mentioned as having small shop strips near some hotels, but not as a particularly scenic place to walk. It may work for a short browse, but not for a memorable promenade.
