Safaga, a fairly big harbour town, has a very strong local atmosphere. In town, there is an array of local restaurants and snack bars with a big choice of delicious, freshly caught fish, especially along the coastal road, where fishermen sell their catches and spartan joints cook them for you. There are no famous international chains in Safaga, but there is a fair choice of good a-la-carte restaurants inside the high category hotels, where you can enjoy fine dining on the water's edge, if you are looking for a gourmet dinner in relaxed and elegant atmosphere. In Safaga, the hotels’ cuisine is quite good. Hotels normally have a main restaurant serving the boarding meals (breakfast and dinner, sometimes also lunch), and one or more a-la-carte restaurants to sample specialties or to celebrate that special occasion in an intimate atmosphere. |
