Hurghada’s sand museum brings alive historic figures and superheroes: An outdoor museum in the Red Sea city of Hurghada features sand sculptures of local and international historic figures, as well as comic book superheroes and Disney characters. The sculptures — made entirely from sand and water and coated with a fixative — could take up to a month to complete, depending on their size and level of detail. They also have to be renovated constantly to protect them from the elements and some have been even rebuilt entirely after an intense spell of rain (Watch here, runtime: 1:20).
