Why visit Sharm El Sheikh?
Sharm El Sheikh serves as the primary gateway to the northern Red Sea, where the desert abruptly yields to turquoise water. The Ras Mohammed National Park provides some of the most accessible world-class shore diving, allowing snorkelers to drift over the Jolanda Reef and vibrant coral gardens. Beyond the water, the Nabq Protected Area offers a stark, sun-baked landscape of mangroves and winding canyons, providing a sharp departure from the resort-heavy coastline. Spend your afternoon wandering the labyrinthine pathways of the Old Market, where the scent of roasting meats fills the air and the Al-Sahaba Mosque towers over the limestone skyline with its intricate Ottoman-style craftsmanship.
Evenings here transition into a blend of international nightlife and traditional Egyptian flavors. Secure a table at Fares Seafood for a platter of grilled parrotfish or calamari harvested from local waters, followed by honey-drenched kunafa from a street vendor. For a deeper immersion, head to the bustling Soho Square to watch the dancing fountains or journey into the Sinai hinterlands to hike Mount Sinai for a sunrise that illuminates the jagged granite peaks. This corner of the Sinai Peninsula balances high-octane underwater exploration with the slower, deliberate pace of tea houses serving strong hibiscus karkadeh.
