About Sharm El Sheikh

Located on the waters of the Red Sea, Sharm El Sheikh is a vibrant coastal oasis where adventure and relaxation go hand-in-hand. This is one of the world’s top diving destinations and thousands come to explore its clear waters to discover vibrant coral reefs, fascinating shipwrecks, and a kaleidoscope of marine life.

If you can resist spending all your time enjoying the comforts of your hotel pool, head to Old Quay Beach or Aqaba Beach in Ras Mohammed National Park or soak up the sun on the white sands of Naama Bay. Those looking for adventure on dry land can hike up The Camel Trail to the summit of Mount Sinai (where Moses received the Ten Commandments). It’s also the site of St Catherine’s Monastery, home to the famous ‘burning bush’ from the Old Testament.

You’ll find a true taste of Egypt in the magnificent Sharm Old Market with its myriad of bustling stores, traditional shisha pipes and local restaurants. It’s the ideal spot for an evening stroll when the heat of the day has cooled down. Sharm El Sheikh is the ideal holiday location for everyone from the more adventurous, to families, and sun-seekers wanting a relaxing break.
