Sharm El Sheikh

The beaches of Sharm el-Sheikh are undoubtedly a highlight of the region. With their fine, white sandy beaches and clear, turquoise-coloured water, they are a paradise for sun lovers and water sports enthusiasts.

Ras Mohammed National Park is another highlight of Sharm el-Sheikh and a dream for divers and snorkellers. The colourful coral reefs, the variety of marine species and the opportunity to swim with sea turtles and dolphins make this nature reserve an unforgettable experience.

For adrenaline junkies, there are plenty of activities to get the pulse racing. The Sinai Desert, which surrounds the city, offers opportunities for quad biking, camel riding and even sandboarding on the dunes. An excursion to Mount Sinai, the biblical site where Moses is said to have received the Ten Commandments, is also a highlight for adventure seekers.

For those interested in culture, Sharm el-Sheikh also offers the opportunity to explore historical sites in the surrounding area. St Catherine's Monastery at the foot of Mount Sinai is one of the oldest Christian monasteries in the world and impresses with its stunning architecture and religious significance.
