Overview
Sharm El Sheikh, a vibrant resort city nestled on the southern tip of Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, is a premier cruise port renowned globally for its spectacular underwater world and dramatic desert landscapes. Overlooking the azure waters of the Red Sea, this sun-drenched destination is a paradise for divers and snorkelers, boasting some of the planet's most pristine coral reefs and an astonishing diversity of marine life. Beyond its crystal-clear waters, Sharm El Sheikh is flanked by the rugged beauty of the Sinai desert, offering a stark yet captivating contrast.
The city itself pulses with energy, featuring modern resorts, lively markets, and a welcoming atmosphere that caters to international visitors. A visit to Sharm El Sheikh offers a unique blend of thrilling marine adventures, serene desert experiences, and a taste of Egyptian hospitality. It serves as an ideal gateway to explore both the natural wonders of the Red Sea and the timeless allure of the Sinai's interior.
Immerse yourself in one of the world's most incredible marine environments with snorkeling or diving in Ras Mohammed National Park. This protected marine reserve, located at the southernmost tip of the Sinai Peninsula, boasts vibrant coral reefs, shipwrecks, and an explosion of colorful fish.
Tip: Even if you're not a diver, snorkeling here offers an unforgettable experience. Book a boat tour that includes stops at multiple prime snorkeling/diving sites.
Enjoy the lively atmosphere and pristine sands of Naama Bay Beach, the heart of Sharm El Sheikh's resort area. Relax on a sun lounger, take a dip in the calm waters, or enjoy a refreshing drink at one of the many beachfront cafes.
Tip: This beach can get busy. If you prefer a quieter spot, some organized tours may offer access to less crowded resort beaches.
Visit Soho Square Sharm El Sheikh, a modern entertainment hub offering a pedestrian promenade lined with shops, restaurants, cafes, and entertainment venues. In the evenings, it comes alive with fountain shows and live music.
Tip: It's a great spot for a relaxed evening stroll, souvenir shopping, or enjoying a meal in a contemporary setting.
Embark on an exciting desert safari into the Sinai wilderness. Choose between a thrilling quad bike ride across the dunes or a more traditional camel trek, often including a visit to a Bedouin tent for tea and a cultural experience.
Tip: Wear comfortable clothes suitable for dust and sun. Bring a scarf or bandana to protect your face during quad biking.
Admire the beautiful architecture of Al-Mustafa Mosque, one of the largest and most impressive mosques in Sharm El Sheikh. Its intricate details, domes, and minarets are particularly striking, especially at sunset when it's illuminated.
Tip: Dress modestly when visiting, ensuring shoulders and knees are covered. Women should bring a headscarf, or one may be provided.
Experience the authentic local atmosphere and shop for souvenirs at the Old Market (Sharm Old Town). This traditional bazaar offers a labyrinth of stalls selling spices, perfumes, leather goods, jewelry, and local handicrafts.
Tip: Haggling is expected and part of the experience here. Be polite but firm in your negotiations.
