Sharm el-Sheikh is located at the southernmost point of the Sinai
peninsula, where the chain of Red Sea mountains provide a
spectacular backdrop to the desert sand as it meets the clear,
tropically rich waters of the Red Sea.
A small, 'user-friendly' international airport serves this beautiful,
purpose-built resort, making travel to the hotels both quick and
easy. With such a fantastic stretch of coastline met by an equally
resplendent underwater world, there are a selection of dive sites,
bays and areas of Sharm el-Sheikh of great particular interest
including the 'old' town, plateau of Hadaba / Ras Um Sid and
Egypt's premier offering, Naama Bay.

The long, paved promenade from one end of Naama Bay to the
other allows the freedom to wander with ease and soak up the
spectacular scenery. The date palms, vibrant plants and flowers,
long sandy beach, coral reefs and year-round sunshine create an
enviable ambiance all by themselves; the luxurious hotels, high class
restaurants, street cafés, shopping centres and
entertainment complete the package to perfection.
Diving and snorkelling are gateways to an incredible paradise here.
No matter what your ability or interest, it's almost impossible not to
be drawn by the water; it has to be seen to be believed. A boat
cruise leaves every visitor hungry for adventure and this is why
Sharm el-Sheikh has become one of the diving capitals of the
world.
As if this isn't enough, Bedouin life can be witnessed and
experienced as well as a camel ride across the desert. The Ras
Mohammed National Park, a nature reserve with protected marine
life, reefs and lagoons, is only 16km away; this is the cape of Sinai
and an area of profound natural beauty not to be missed.
The cuisine available within the resort is a fantastic blend of
Mediterranean, Eastern, Continental and International delights and
is so reasonably priced, with an evening meal averaging
approximately £6 per head. The cost of living here is cheaper than
staying in the U.K! For the younger crowd nightspots like Bus stop
or Pasha let you dance the night away until the early hours. |
