Sharm El Sheikh
From a small fishing village in the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula to now the leading centre for tourism in Egypt, Sharm El Sheikh is aptly known as the ‘City of Peace’. Tourists gather from all corners of the globe to the Red Sea resort in their thousands to enjoy the beautiful sites and scenery.
Undoubtedly famous for its sandy beaches, crystal clear waters and extraordinary coral reefs, Sharm El Sheikh is the epitome of beauty. Situated in South Sinai, the coastal city is perfectly located between the Sinai Desert and the Red Sea. Commanding the Gulf Of Aqaba’s narrow entrance, Tiran Island and Ras Mohamed National park are key attractions of the resort.
Did you know the Sinai peninsula is the only part of Egypt located in Asia? With the Mediterranean Sea to the north and the Red Sea to the south, Sinai operates as a bridge between Africa and Asia. Sharm El Sheikh consists of four sub-resorts, Hadaba, Naama Bay, Sharks Bay & Nabq Bay. Indeed, all uniquely appealing for their attractions.
Whether you want to dive deep into the enchanting Red Sea or snorkel above the water, Sharm El Sheikh is the perfect location to discover the home of over 1000 different fish species and 150 species of vibrant corals. On the other hand, if adrenaline and adventure you seek, then head out into the Sinai desert for a quad biking experience like no other. Experience a thrilling ride through the dunes and ridges as you chase the horizon. However, If its a taste of history you’re after and want to retrace Moses’ footsteps as he climbed Mt. Sinai you can head north to seek the spectacle of Mount Sinai and St Catherine’s Monastery!
