A Sneak Peek into Sharm El Sheikh
- Sharm el-Sheikh is the main tourist attraction in the Sinai Peninsula and one of the best diving locations in the world.

- However, if you are not a typical tourist who spends their days lying on the beach, there are some compelling reasons to visit.
- The Red Sea's underwater tourist attractions - notably the waters of the Ras Mohammed Marine Park just south of town - put "Sharm" on the tourism map in the first place, and one of the most incredible spots to visit in Egypt for anyone planning a diving holiday.
- If you merely want to relax on the beach, this is one of Egypt's best destinations.
- Sharm is within day-trip reach of many of the Sinai Peninsula's historical and ecological features, so non-divers will have plenty to do on land.
- Due to the superb facilities available, it is a particular choice for a family-friendly holiday.
- Sharm el-Sheikh is a terrific choice for a beach break after touring the country's temples and tombs, whether you're here for the sand or the sea life.

WORTH A VISIT
The Best Places to Visit in Sharm El Sheikh
Thistlegorm Wreck
- A visit to Sharm el-Sheikh for many advanced divers implies only one thing: diving the Thistlegorm.
- This ship, loaded with cargo to resupply British troops, was sunk by German bombers during World War II, making it one of the best wreck dives in the world.
- Fish now flit around the cargo holds, packed with jeeps, motorcycles, and munitions that never made it to the front.
- Because the wreck is located in the Straits of Gubal, off the western coast of the Sinai Peninsula, overnight liveaboard tours are available.
Naama Bay
- Naama Bay, surrounded by a white-sand beach and swaying palm trees, is the heart of Sharm el-resort Sheikh's scene.
- If you get tired of the sand, there are plenty of restaurants, cafés, and gift shops, but Naama Bay is all about the beach.
- A pedestrian-only promenade surrounds the entire beach area, flanked by a collection of high-end and mid-range hotels.
- Naama Bay is one of Egypt's top choices for people searching for a holiday full of sloth-like sunbathing. The entire beach area is well-equipped, with plenty of sunshades and loungers and beachside cafés, so you won't have to leave your sandy paradise for the whole day.
Jolanda Reef Site
- One of the most popular dive locations in the Ras Mohammed Marine Park is Jolanda Reef (also known as Yolanda Reef).
- Shark Reef is generally included in dive tours here (accessible by boat from Sharm el-Sheikh), making this a two-for-one offer with a rainbow of fish life and corals to behold.
- The wreck of the Jolanda, an old Cypriot freighter ship that ran aground on the reef in 1980 with a load of toilet porcelain, can be found on Jolanda Reef.
- The sheer, rainbow-coloured coral walls of Shark Reef that lead to the wreck and Jolanda Reef's coral garden plateau are great sealife spotting spots and a highlight of touring the wreck site.

Sharm El-Moiya

- There are a few small cafes along the beach where guests can relax in the sun while smoking shisha or rehydrating. The port also has a fantastic outlook.
