Sharm El Sheikh



Sharm el-Sheikh offers the best diving holidays and is a world famous dive centre located on the Red Sea, which includes luxury resorts, restaurants and accommodation.

The majority of hotels and diving holiday resorts are located 4 miles from the main city at Naama Bay, which offers plenty of holiday amenities to visitors out of the water, including excellent shopping opportunities, a lively nightlife and an attractive resort to explore. Numerous dive sites are within reach of Sharm el-Sheikh, including the huge drop-offs at Ras Mohammed in the extreme southern part of the peninsula, the Straits of Tiran, wrecks and 28 sites located along the coast that are reached by boat. Naama Bay has a gently sloping sandy bottom, is ideal for dive classes, and provides diving and snorkelling opportunities for all levels without having to use a boat or car to get there. Besides excellent diving and snorkelling, which are the main activities, there are plenty of water sports available if one feels like doing more than just soaking up the sun. Add a vibrant nightlife with casinos, discos and nightclubs and one cannot complain of boredom.


Shopping

Avid shoppers will find a good variety of goods in the old market and Sharm El-Sheikh mall where shops sell both foreign and local products, including jewellery, leather goods, clothing, pottery and books. Naama Bay offers a more upmarket shopping experience at the Naama Centre where shopkeepers are less inclined to bargain, but everything from souvenirs to scarves can be had.

Restaurants

Between the two tourist districts of Old Sharm and Naama Bay there is a huge variety of dining options, from hotel restaurants, and international fast food chains like KFC, to local eateries and fresh fish. Anything from Mexican to Japanese is represented in town.

Nightlife

Casinos, discos, pubs and bars cater to those ready to party the night away. Entertainment ranges from dance clubs to informal hangouts, with local favourites like the Pirates Bar, Zabadi and The Tavern Pub.

Activities

Diving and snorkelling are the main activities, but there are a range of other activities available including horse and camel riding, golf, desert safaris and health treatments, and a variety of watersports. The desert holds numerous attractions and trips are offered to Mt Sinai and St Catherine's Monastery, among others.
