Sharm el-Sheikh, one of the most
accessible and developed tourist resort communities on the Sinai
peninsula. All around are Bedouins, colorful tents, mountains and
sea. There are small, intimate hotels with modern designs, as well as larger
hotel complexes belonging to International chains, plus about all the amenities
one could expect of a tourist center, including casinos, discos and nightclubs,
golf courses and health facilities. In fact, with diving and snorkeling,
windsurfing and other water sports, horses and camel riding, desert safaris,
and great nearby antiquities attractions, it is almost impossible for a visitor
to ever suffer from boredom.
A
place which gave the Red Sea an international reputation as one of the world’s
most extraordinary diving destinations in Egypt, Sharm El Sheikh is spread
over 42 square km with over 40.9% of its area “affected” by tourism. It’s a
magnificent place that unveils Egypt’s
exotic nights far away from the desert.
Unique
resorts are rare and irreplaceable, and Sharm El Sheikh has them both. But
other than amazing diving sessions to see the beauty of the depths, the resort
charms with its bustling nightlife, luxurious five star hotels, great
entertainment and lovely sights for you to see.

Shark's
Bay is also nearby, and again is a growing resort community with more and more
to offer, along with several diving centers.
The
small harbor known as Sharm el-Moiya is located next to the civil harbor, has
accommodations for boats, and includes a Yacht Club with rooms.
For
those who live to shop, the Sharm El-Sheikh mall provides shops with both
foreign and local products, including jewelry, leather goods, clothing, pottery
and books.
It has been said that this is a must visit for all
diving enthusiasts. There are many diving sites along the 10 mile beach between
Sharm el-Sheikh and Ras Nusrani.
Naama Bay
is the heart of Sharm El Sheikh, where famous Egyptian sites are only footsteps
away. With lots of souvenir shops, cozy restaurants, sandy beaches and big palm
trees, Naama Bay is the first thing a tourist gets to
see. However be warned it’s a very expensive place to be at – be it food,
drinks or souvenirs for the loved ones
Since you definitely won’t be
at the beach all day, how about a fantastic boat ride to the beautiful National Park of Ras Mohammed. You’ll get to enjoy some
fabulous snorkeling to see the stunning sea life and the amazing corals of the Red Sea. Of course you’ll have to make sure your health
is in a solid condition, and another important aspect … go there with a budget
in your mind. Egyptians are very good salesmen and they’ll try to sell you as
much as possible.
And while you’re there, you
may want to spend a moment to view the sun going down over the sea and the
desert — the whole spectacle is between 5:00 and 5:30pm. Everything is so
breathtaking you can resist to stay silent and remember how great Earth can be.
Sharm El Sheikh is also
renowned for its nightlife, so why not give it a shot in one of their chic open
air clubs, with stunning cocktail bars, outdoor pools and private VIP rooms
that come with terraces overlooking the action.
Pearl
of the Sinai Peninsula, Sharm El Sheikh is the most exotic, the most beautiful
and the most elegant resort at the Red Sea. A
much needed vacation in a place that has so much to give, it’s one of Egypt’s best
and shouldn’t be missed while there.
