Sharm el-Sheikh

Sharm el-Sheikh, the Sinai Peninsula's major tourism center, is unquestionably the world's leading diving destination. It was the underwater wonders of the Red Sea, particularly the waters of the Ras Mohammed Marine Park located south of town, that first brought "Sharm" to the forefront.

On an annual basis, adventure seekers, particularly snorkeling and diving enthusiasts, continue to flock to the city in large numbers. It is also one of Egypt's best tourist attractions, especially if you enjoy the beach.

Sharm el-Sheikh is a particular favorite for family-friendly vacations, and it will never disappoint you in any way. Sharm el-Sheikh has a lot to offer, with abundant facilities such as clear waters, lavish budget stays and resorts, adequate security equipment, professional trainers, world class places to see, and a plethora of things to do.

Whether you're here for the fish or the sand, Sharm el-Sheikh is a near-perfect beach break after you've explored the country's tombs and temples.
