Sharm el Sheikh is one of the most developed, tourist places in Egypt. Situated on the Sinai peninsula, it is a hive of activity from dawn til dusk. Naturally, you could choose Sharm el Sheikh for a beach holiday but it’s so much more than that. Plus, with all the tourist interest in the area, you can now visit this popular area of Egypt at a bargain price.

Hotels in Egypt are usually of a high standard and there are many to choose from, all with multiple swimming pools and modern amenities. You can find a hotel to suit your every need, whether you’re searching for a small, intimate type or a large, modern complex. The area is still relatively untouched and you’re surrounded by bedouins, colourful tents, mountain ranges, sand and sea.

Being right on the coast of Egypt adjacent to the Red Sea, Sharm el Sheikh first found popularity amongst the world’s divers and is a haven for watersports lovers. You can learn to dive here, go snorkelling, windsurfing and all manner of water activities.

For those who have only heard of Sharm el Sheikh through the diving community and think there’s nothing else, think again. There are nightclubs, casinos, huge golf resorts, health spas, horse riding, camel riding (who could go to Egypt and not ride a camel?) and even desert safaris. You could even take a romantic hot air balloon ride over the pyramids. Nobody could ever be bored in Egypt. It’s an ideal cheap holiday for all the family, but will feel like luxury.
