Holidays in Sharm el Sheikh
Sharm el Sheikh lies at the southern tip of the Sinai peninsula, and is Egypt's biggest and most popular Red Sea resort.
With a range of hotels to suit every taste and budget, an exciting variety of activities in the water and on land, and some of the region's best nightlife, holidays in Sharm el Sheikh can be as peaceful or as active as you choose.
Divers are attracted to Sharm el Sheikh's variety and sheer number of dive sites, including Ras Mohamed National Park and the nearby wreck of the S/S Thistlegorm.
Plentiful reefs also make for great snorkelling - and many hotels feature their own house reef (see individual hotel pages for details).
For a complete Egypt experience, twin your Sharm el Sheikh holiday with a stay in Cairo or Luxor or a Nile Cruise, or visit some of the region's unmissable sights, including Petra and Jerusalem, on an excursion.

Why should you visit Sharm el Sheikh?
In an idyllic location between the crystal clear waters of the Red Sea and the staggering mountain backdrop of the Sinai, what was once a small dive town and Egypt’s best-kept secret has grown to be a cosmopolitan, Mediterranean style resort.
Sharm’s versatility means it is ideal for any type of holidaymaker.
Families can enjoy the gently shelving beaches in Naama Bay with only a short walk along the picturesque promenade into the bustling town centre.
For those preferring a quieter holiday there are many larger resort-style hotels within a short drive that offer amenities on a par with International standards of excellence. Most of these have a fabulous house reef and an abundance of fish.
Whether you are an experienced diver or just trying snorkelling you cannot fail to be amazed by the flora, fauna and colourful species that inhabit the Red Sea.
The balmy evening air makes enjoying alfresco dining and entertaining so much more pleasurable. You can opt for worldwide standard haute cuisine and unrivalled views in one of the hotels or sample locally sourced fish and seafood from one of the many reasonably priced pavement and beach restaurants.
With such a phenomenal cultural heritage, Egypt has plentiful and varied sights to see. In addition to Cairo, Luxor, Jerusalem and Petra only being a short flight away, a relaxing day cruising the Red Sea or an evening under the stars in the desert are just a few of the ways to fully appreciate the full beauty of the Sinai. Enquiries and booking can be made prior to arrival through the Sharm resort office.
The amount of guests that return time and time again to Sharm speaks for itself but I defy anyone to not find something that suits them in Sharm! |
