Things To Do
Water sports and snorkelling are extremely popular in Sharm el Sheikh, thanks to its clear waters and teeming coral reefs. On dry land, try desert quad biking, camel treks and star gazing. Make the sunrise climb to the top of Mount Sinai – the 500 steps to reach the summit are worth it for the view.
Food & Drink
From Egyptian cuisine to fast food, Sharm el Sheikh has plenty of places to eat. Many visitors choose a value-for-money all-inclusive package and eat at their hotel, but there are plenty of restaurants to choose from too. Naama Bay has a mixture of local establishments and chain names you'll know. Although Egypt is a Muslim country, alcohol is available in cafe-style bars, hotels and many restaurants. A favourite Egyptian pastime is wiling away the hours in a coffee-house (ahwa) over a game of backgammon and a sheesha - waterpipe. Tea is served in glasses and comes dark and impossibly sweet; the same is true with coffee, which is taken in the Turkish style.
In The Evening
Most of Sharm el Sheikh’s entertainment is fairly low-key and hotel-based and includes dazzling belly-dancing shows and live Egyptian music. Some hotels offer other options, including casinos, bowling and even an ice rink. Naama Bay's pedestrianised streets are lined with a great choice of bars and clubs, including a Hard Rock Café and a Pacha, meaning it's becoming increasingly popular with young and lively visitors.
