About Sharm El Sheikh
Including tips for the best time to visit Sharm El Sheikh
The Egyptian city of Sharm El-Sheikh welcomes you to sandy shores, dazzling blue beaches and palm-lined streets. Situated at the tip of the Sinai peninsula, the city is one of the top diving destinations in the world.
Sharm El-Sheikh offers numerous dive areas, like the wreckage site of Dunraven, which is now a regular hangout spot for goatfish, cardinalfish and more. The Jackson Reef, frequented by hammerhead sharks and manta rays, is one of the top choices for divers. The Jolanda Reef is another point famous for colourful corals and an array of marine life such as turtles, moray eels and barracudas. You can also dive at Thistlegorm, an underwater wreckage site featuring a ship packed with cargo that was sunk during World War II by bombers.
The Ras Mohammed National Park is a prime attraction in Sharm El-Sheikh. At this park, you can drift dive at Jackfish Alley, or visit Magic Lake to view its mesmerising shades of blue. Head to the Shark Observatory cliff top for panoramic views of the Red Sea.
Colourful lamps along with the aroma of spices wafting into the buzzing streets, the Old Market of Sharm is a treat for all five senses. The road is lined with souvenir stores, traditional coffee shops and some of the most affordable food joints in Sharm El-Shaikh. Away from the usual crowd, the back alleys of the souq offer some excellent places to shop that allow you to put your bargaining skills to test.

What other travelers say about Sharm El Sheikh
We love Sharm El Sheikh and enjoyed staying at Cleopatra...
September 25, 2023
We love Sharm El Sheikh and enjoyed staying at Cleopatra resort for the second time in 6 months. Where we were they keep the reef at excellent condition and that is one of the reason we came back. As usual is these types of resorts the stuff is very professional and helpful and the food is above expectations with many vegan options. The vacation was 10 grade without hesitation.

I think it’s really important the resort or hotel you decide to stay at as it plays a big part in your experience that you have on your holiday. The first resort we stayed in was amazing the different activities we took part in, the different people we met. Definitely coming back again next year.

I had a wonderful experience at the Laguna Vista hotel. Every staff member I encountered, from the valet to the check- in to the cleaning staff were delightful and eager to help! Thank you! I want to thank the extremely helpful staff from the reception, Omar, Rida and Muhammad Mansour. Will recommend to my family and friends🤩

August 15, 2023
Sharm el-Sheikh is a very nice place to relax and enjoy especially in winter time . But unfortunately I found many units in the same place , Porto Sharm rented for the all month for 8000 Egyptian pounds which is about 10 days only if the rent done via booking, in addition the hidden coasts that not declared at the time of booking is too much ie coasted me 70 dollars instead of 52 for 3 nights when arrived !!!!’n
Sharm was great to tour around.
August 8, 2023
Sharm was great to tour around. Airport was shocking -no trollies available. Egyptian airport authorities prevented one of our party from flying out to Israel -because they had entered via Cairo and not Sharm -pathetic. Had to catch a taxi & drive out. So explain how you can drive out the country -but no0t fly with a valid ticket?? Pathetic.
