The Red Sea’s year-round destination
You’ll never be bored in Sharm el Sheikh – the most developed of the Red Sea resorts – where there’s plenty to keep you busy both day and night, whether you’re a holiday sun-worshipper or a water sports enthusiast.
Sharm el Sheikh is a world-acclaimed dive and snorkelling centre, with numerous dive sites in easy reach, including the huge drop-offs at Ras Mohammed and the Straits of Tiran, and wrecks and sites further along the coast that you reach by boat. The gentle sandy slopes at Naama Bay, just four miles from the city and close to the main hotels, provide local diving and snorkelling opportunities which are ideal for both beginners and the more experienced holiday-maker.
Away from the water, you can pamper yourself with a holiday health treatment, play golf, go horseback and camel riding, or take a desert safari. Trips are offered to a number of local attractions, including Mount Sinai and St Catherine's Monastery.
Naama Bay is a busy holiday resort, with luxurious accommodation, restaurants, shopping, and late-night entertainment including casinos, discos and nightclubs. The Pirates Bar, Zabadi and Tavern Pub are all popular night spots.
Sharm el Sheikh's two tourist districts of Old Sharm and Naama Bay offer a huge variety of dining options, from hotel restaurants and fast-food chains to local eateries serving fresh fish. In Sharm el Sheikh you’ll find cuisine from around the world – from Mexico to Japan – all available for you to try while you’re on holiday.
For shopaholics, the old market or mall at Sharm el Sheikh provide opportunities to bargain for local products from jewellery and clothing to leather goods and pottery. If you prefer a more up-market shopping experience, try the Naama Centre, where you can find everything from holiday souvenirs to scarves.
