So much to explore.
There’s no place to compare to Sharm el Sheikh. The astonishing landscape, the glistening waters and the hot temperatures mean it is worlds away from any other holiday destinations. This city doesn’t attract the swathes of tourists that places such as Cairo do so it’s the perfect option if you want a holiday with a difference.
Sharm el Sheikh is a city located at the very south of the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt. The hotels here are luxurious and the service you receive is second to none. There are all the modern attractions to keep you entertained on a Sharm el Sheikh holiday but just glance in the right direction and you will see desert land for miles with spectacular sand dunes and mountains in the distance.
The beaches in Sharm el-Sheikh are really popular with the tourists as they are some of the best in this part of the world. White sandy beaches and clear blue waters certainly do attract the tourists, but there’s so much more to this city than the beaches. This place offers people a real adventure.
Imagine yourself relaxing on one of the world’s top beaches fringed with swaying palms, excellent cuisine on offer, friendly people and world class spa hotels. There is a wealth of choice from peace and tranquillity on the beach, fabulous entertainment, dynamic shopping and excellent nightlife.
