This resort town, located at the southern tip of the Sinai peninsula, is fast becoming one of the top holiday destinations for sun-seeking Brits. It is well known as having some of the world’s best diving, thanks to crystal clear waters with exceptional visibility, but even non-divers have been captivated by its many charms. It is sandwiched between the deep-blue waters of the Red sea and a ridge of mountains. Expect your days to be sunny, bright and warm any time of year that you visit.
Along with its unique location, it is chock full of exquisite resorts, beaches, great shops, bars and nightclubs. Whether you just want to relax or spend your holiday being active, a Sharm El Sheikh holiday has it all. During your stay, a journey to the desert is highly recommended. You can trek by camel or by 4x4 vehicle to visit the Coloured Canyon, Mount Sinai, or Bedouin villages. It has the feel of an alien world, the likes of which you’ve never seen.
Until the late 1960s, Sharm El Sheikh was a sleepy little fishing village with a population of 100. In recent years, it has blossomed into a top holiday destination, renowned for its weather, endless beaches and affordability. It makes a convenient base from which to explore the sights of the desert and historical attractions like the 1,400-year-old St. Catherine’s Monastery, one of the best preserved monasteries in the world, located at the base of Mount Moses. This combination of ancient wonders and modern amenities and resorts makes Sharm El Sheikh an ideal destination for your next holiday.
