Activities
Sharm el Sheikh is fortunate to have an incredible natural backdrop meaning that the list of things to do is as varied and accommodating as its choice of hotels. The region’s greatest attractions have always been underwater. Its breathtaking coral reefs and exotic marine life have made Sharm el Sheikh particularly popular among scuba divers, but there are plenty of other watersports on offer, including sailing, wind surfing and ket skiing, to name a few.
For those who prefer to keep their feet on dry land, there’s plenty to keep you busy from championship golf courses to numerous health facilities – or if you’d rather rely on someone else’s feet for a while then horse riding or camel trekking across the desert could be for you. Desert safaris, shopping and sunbathing go without saying, of course.
Culture
With Sharm el Sheikh being so well known for its activities you could be forgiven for thinking that history and culture have taken a back seat. However, one of Egypt’s most important religious sites lies just nearby. St Catherine’s monastery – with the looming Mount Sinai beside it – is where Moses is said to have seen the burning bush before journeying up the mountain to receive the Ten Commandments.
Night time
Sharm el Sheikh is not short on entertainment for those seeking a wild night out and has a Vegas-style quality thanks to its bright lights, bars, clubs and casinos. It’s bright and vibrant street scenes are reminiscent of Vegas nightlife. It does, however, have one distinct advantage over America’s own land-locked playground… Sharm el Sheikh’s central charms will always come back to its beautiful coastlines and breathtaking underwater vistas.
Sharm el Sheikh may have been crafted to be many things to many people, but its natural wonders will prevail. Get ready to explore them in all their glory with unbeatable deals on Sharm el Sheikh hotels this winter.
