Things to do in Sharm El-Sheikh

Sharm El-Sheikh, the picturesque capital of Egypt, is a town found in the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula. The city and the holiday resort are critical in the tourist industry of Egypt, pulling many global conferences as well as diplomatic agreements.

Sharm el-Sheikh is the administrative headquarters of the South Sinai Governorate and has become one of the highly visited cities to relax after all the regular tours of Egypt. Extending for over 20 km along the Sinai Peninsula coastline, Sharm el-Sheikh is famous for snorkelers and scuba divers. On one side, it is framed by the sea below and on the other side by the mountains above since it opens to a rocky projection forming a bay. The beach has a palm-lined avenue opening to bars, cafes, and restaurants. The growing number of tourists notwithstanding, the reef is still more widened and still abounds in extraordinary marine creatures.

Why Visit Sharm El Sheikh? 
Sharm El Sheikh is a full package destination, as in it has relaxation, adventures, and culture all in one place. 

In addition to its natural beauty, exhilarating activities, and warm hospitality, all these things create unforgettable memories for viewers in this place.

Diving into the depths of the Red Sea, exploring the desert wilderness of Sinai, or lazing around on a beach soaking up the sun—this is what makes a holiday that has no comparison: Sharm El-Sheikh. Go ahead and plan to visit this magnificent coastal pearl right now!

Sharm is divided into two parts: to the south is the city with the port, and about 7 km to the north is the famous Naama Bay, the luxury tourist complex. It offers the most varied water activities, from sailing lessons, windsurfing, and parasailing pulled by motorboat to the charming transparent glass-bottom boat Sharm El Sheikh Day Tours.

About 10 km north of Naama Bay is Sharks Bay, a smaller resort area, also quieter and less expensive. The construction of a five-star hotel has recently attracted more tourists, and further development is expected. Corals and tropical fish are wonderful, and despite the name, Shark, there are no sharks; only the borders of the shore form a figure of a shark, and that's how the area got its name.

 

North of Shark Bay, where the Red Sea meets the Gulf of Aqaba, is the Straits of Tiran. Diving trips to Tiran and Sanafìr Islands depart from Naama, Sharm, and Shark Bay; the island is considered a natural protected area with numerous species of fish and corals. Nabq National Park also boasts the most northern mangrove forests on earth, where many birds live, such as grey and white herons, cranes, hawks, and fishermen. The park is also home to an important ecological fish and shrimp farm and is located a few kilometres after the Sharm airport to the north.

Most hotels also offer a wide range of excursions in Sharm El Sheikh inland, to places such as the Monastery of Saint Catherine and Mount Sinai, or further inland, such as Wadi Feiran and Serabit el-Khadim.
