Visit Sharm El Sheikh for an unforgettable travel experience

Holidays in Sharm El Sheikh are a whirlwind of adventure with snorkelling spots, cultural expeditions, safaris and magical street food.

When you travel to Egypt, make sure to visit Sharm El Sheikh. Located on the edge of the Sinai Peninsula, the coastal city used to be a quaint fishing village. Now, it offers unforgettable travel experiences for tourists interested in beaches, bazaars and desert safaris.

You can kick off your holidays with back-to-back snorkelling and scuba diving excursions at Farsha Beach, Sharm al Maya, and Old Quay Beach. Advanced divers can go deeper to explore the ruins of the Thistlegorm wreck at the Ras Mohammed National Park.

If you want to stay on the shore, you can soak up the sun by lazing around on the sandy beaches. After sundown, you can go to neon-lit discos, rooftop restaurants, and music concerts on the beach during your holidays in Sharm El Sheikh.

More adventurous travellers will enjoy buggy riding and desert excursions to the Sinai Desert. Many desert tours include overnight stays at Bedouin camps with hearty buffets, musical entertainment and stargazing activities. You can also go on a sunrise hike to climb Mount Sinai.

History enthusiasts and architecture lovers can stroll around the city looking at minarets and monasteries. The contemporary, old cathedrals and Ottoman architecture reflect the city’s blended heritage. Must-visit sites include the Al Sahaba Mosque and Saint Catherine's Monastery.
