Sharm El Sheikh
The cosmopolitan resort of Sharm el Sheikh is situated at the most southerly point of the Sinai Peninsula - set between the Sinai Desert and crystal-clear waters of the Red Sea. Many private yachts and pleasure boats are available and can take divers to the best spots in the area like Ras Mohamed. Ras Om El Seid
is famous for its coral reefs and has a very high cliff where many hotels are located. However, the biggest tourist attraction in the city is Naama Bay. This long bay is where most of the hotels, shopping malls, and night life can be found.
Suitable for sun-seekers, beach-lovers and scuba-divers alike, Sharm provides an excellent base for exploring this fascinating region of Egypt, including Mount Sinai and St. Catherine's Monastery.
Diving in Sharm El Sheikh
Perched on the southern tip of the glorious Sinai peninsula, Sharm El Sheikh is often described as a 'Dive Center'. With the national park of Ras Mohamed a stone's throw away, the area offers some of the best hard coral reefs, a number of wreck sites, a multitude of diverse fish types as well as the larger shark and manta species.
