Resort location
Sharm el Sheikh is located on the east side of the southernmost tip of the Sinai Peninsula, on the Gulf of Aqaba coast. Sharm el Sheikh, in Egypt, has virtually guaranteed sun and a dry atmosphere and these, together with the unusually warm waters, unique forms of marine life and spectacular coral reefs make this a perfect winter-sun, beach and scuba diving holiday destination. Sharm el Sheikh, originally an ancient fishing village, has now spread to cover a strip of coast 30 miles long. The old town (known as downtown Sharm) has many ethnic sights still on view, shops and genuine Arab bazaars and a large market area, but Na'ama Bay is the main area for tourist hotels and activities. Sharm el Sheikh's main shopping street is the pedestrianised El Sharm Mall and there are glitzy enclosed malls on the main road. There is an attractive pedestrian path separating the hotels from the beach. The beach has parasols, sunbeds, bars, restaurants, water sports centres and crazy golf. In the southwest corner of the bay are shops, restaurants, small hotels and dive centres.
Daytime activities include scuba diving, snorkelling, water sports, camel rides, horse riding, there are quad bike and bicycles for hire, golf at the 18 hole Movenpick course, and bird spotting. Local excursions are available to several places in the Sinai Desert including the St Catherine's Monastery (site of the burning bush from the Bible) and Mount Sinai (source of the Ten Commandments), desert safaris and camel treks, Ras Mohammed National Park, cruises to Tiran Island, overnight trips to Cairo and Luxor and "Bedouin Nights" which include a meal. For the evening there is an excellent choice of restaurants, casinos, discos and nightclubs. Finish the day off with a cocktail and watch the beautiful Egyptian sunset over the rugged saw-toothed mountains in the distance.
