Sharm el-Sheikh is one of the most accessible and developed tourist resort communities on the Sinai Peninsula. All around are Bedouins, colorful tents, mountains and sea. There are small, intimate hotels with modern designs, as well as larger hotel complexes belonging to international chains, plus about all the amenities one could expect of a tourist center, including casinos, discos and nightclubs, golf courses and health facilities.
The region of Sharm El Sheikh is actually a series of bays with innumerable and extraordinary coral reefs. It is located on the east shore at the southernmost tip of the Sinai Peninsula. The National Park of Ras Mohamad is one of the world’s most famous dive sites. Ras Mohamed National Park was created in 1983 to protect coral reefs and the fragile environment. The magnificent climate, astounding desert environment and fantastic diving make Sharm El Sheikh a favourite destination. Sharm El Sheikh offers a range of activities from diving and snorkeling, windsurfing, parasailing and other water sports, to horses and camel riding, desert safaris, and great nearby antiquities attractions. Every resort has got its own bar with different happy hour offers. An evening stroll along the promenade gives you an insight of what the beach bars of the hotels have to offer for the evening. You can also dance the night through in one of Sharm’s discos. Shopping in Sharm El Sheikh is a delight for shopping lovers. You'll find a range of fine but affordable jewelery, leather goods, clothing, pottery, handmade gifts, souvenirs, and books.
