Sharm El Sheikh
Sharm El Sheikh
Located at the southern point of the Sinai Peninsula, Sharm El Sheik and Naama
Bay in the neighboring bay are the premier beach spots in Egypt. They both
have developed from nothing thirty years ago into booming beachfront hotspots
that offer year-round sun and booming nightlife.
Organized on a single main road between the water and mountains behind, these resort areas offer countless accommodation options, cafes, restaurants, and bars.
They are also near some incredible diving locations and every hotel organizes diving and snorkeling trips. European tourists flock here year-round, especially in the fall, winter, and early spring before the summer heat gets too intense. Just a few miles away from Ras Mohammed National Marine Park, a marine nature preserve that offers some of the most diverse and plentiful sea-life available to divers the world over.Ras Mohamed
Located about 30 minutes to the south west of Sharm El Sheikh, Ras Mohammed National Park is one of the most beautiful dive sites in south Sinai. Created in 1983 by the Egyptian government, the park spreads over 480 square km and includes: an underwater territory, the topside Isle of Tiran and a mangrove, a crucial piece of environment for aquatic life but also for a lot of birds (including the white crane!)
The seabed is protected and enjoys a thriving marine life, exceptionally diverse for the Red Sea. There are numerous dive sites in the park, so you can come back several times and never dive the same site twice!
