Accommodation

You’re unlikely to find uninterrupted calm and seclusion on your visit to Sharm el Sheikh, but you’ll find pretty much everything else. The range of Sharm el Sheikh hotels is staggering, with everything from top end luxury resorts to affordable family accommodation. Hilton, Sheraton and Ritz Carlton are just some of the big names that have taken up residence over recent years. Prices across all hotel types are being made even more attractive by early bird deals and special offers, meaning that five-star luxury on a budget is easily within grasp.

Activities

If you’re keen to find out what Sharm el Sheikh can do for you, then you’ll be pleased to hear that its range of activities is just as varied as its hotels. Located on the southern point of the Sinai Peninsula and looking out over the Red Sea, the region’s greatest attractions have always been underwater. Its breathtaking coral reefs and exotic marine life have made Sharm el Sheikh particularly popular among scuba divers, but there are plenty of other watersports on offer as well.

If you’d prefer to keep your feet on dry land then there are plenty of health and sporting facilities to get involved with – or if you fancy relying on someone else’s feet for a while then horse riding or camel trekking are some of the more adventurous options. Desert safaris, quad biking, shopping and, of course, lazing in the sunshine on the beach or by the pool all add to the experience.

Culture and history

With so much on the activity front in Sharm el Sheikh, history and culture may seem to have taken a back seat. One of Egypt’s most important religious sites lies just nearby, however. St Catherine’s monastery is said to be the place where Moses saw the burning bush before he travelled up the majestic Mount Sinai nearby to receive the Ten Commandments.

Nightlife

For those after a wild night out, Sharm el Sheikh is more than happy to oblige with its Las Vegas style bars, clubs and casinos. It’s bright lights and buzzing atmosphere mirror Vegas nightlife. It does, however, have one real advantage over the Nevada’s isolated playground… Sharm el Sheikh’s beautiful coastlines and stunning underwater scenery will always be a central part of its charms.
