Sharm el Sheikh is a classy holiday destination that offers accommodation at affordable hotels, great resort amenities, a chance to live the high life at the casino, and superb beaches. One of the most cosmopolitan resorts on the Red Sea, it offers dining at sophisticated restaurants, dancing at vibrant nightclubs, and shopping at top notch shopping malls. Holidaymakers can also experience traditional culture with a visit to St. Catherine's Monastery, one of Egypt's most valuable architectural sites.
For those who love watersports, there are long stretches of white sandy coastline to explore, and a sea full of exotic marine life. The sea is alive with vibrantly coloured fish darting amongst the coral reefs and is a delight for all scuba diving and snorkelling enthusiasts. You can also try your hand at other water sports activities such as sailing, windsurfing and glass-bottomed boat trips.
When you’re not enjoying yourself at the beach, why not indulge in some retail therapy in one of the great shopping malls the resort has to offer? Sharm el Sheikh is filled with brand name stores and fashion boutiques, plus buzzing nightclubs and casinos – and the resort really comes to life after the sun goes down. Whilst daytime visitors to the traditional markets can buy a range of souvenirs such as Egyptian perfume and cotton, alongside gold and silver jewellery.
On your Sharm el Sheikh holiday, you can also learn more about the Egyptian culture by joining a camel trek to a Bedouin village, or visiting Mount Sinai where Moses received the Ten Commandments. This mountain region is a great tourist attraction that also allows visitors to watch a stunning sunrise.
