Sharm El Sheikh also known as ‘Peace City’is classified as one of the most important coastal cities in the world. Not only because of its unique location in the Red Sea and at the junction of the branches of Aqaba and Suez Gulf on the bottom end of the Sinai Peninsula, but rather its warm atmosphere in the winter.

The temperature ranges between 18 to 25 degrees; in the summer, it reaches 45 degrees, making it suitable for enjoying the sea and recreation throughout the year.

 

 

 

 

*First day:

You have to spend the 1st day enjoying the private beach of your hotel, whether it overlooks it or owns a private beach away from it, where you can swim and experience fun beach activities, including water parachute rides, surfing, banana bot. This, in addition a glass bot that enables you to watch the depths of the sea, coral reefs and fish.

Do not forget in your first day the question about the internal trips outside the city and their prices that enable you to get to know South Sinai and enjoy its amazing activities and attractions.

In the evening, you can visit the old market, the Naama Bay tourist promenade, malls, and the free market at Sharm El Sheikh Airport or the most popular neighborhood "Al-Nour" or streets bearing the leaders and kings names of Arab countries such as; Sultan Qaboos Street, which are places that allow you to shop, eat and buy gifts from accessories or Herbs and oils extracts Which is found only in the Sinai desert.

 

Furthermore, you can take pictures with its paranomic features especially, the huge "Al-sahaba" Mosque in the old market and the famous "Soho Square" filled with cafeterias, fine restaurants, unique statues and bright lights.

Don't forget to try Egyptian tea with mint or spiced coffee with "shisha" "hookah".

 

 

 

 

*Transportation:

Transporting in the city depends on taxis in white and blue; or you can go to the less expensive "microbus" that roams the city from the "plateau" area in the beginning of  Sharm El Sheikh to the "Gharqana" area at the end of it for only 6 pounds per person or $ 2 for foreigners. This is if you are not dependent on your Hotel transportation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*South Sinai trips:

2nd day, you can start internal trips, such as: visiting the Dahab city and the famous Blue Hole ping reserve, which is one of the most important activities of South Sinai in general due to its depths beauty and the scarcity of its fish and coral reefs.

 

 

 

 

 

Tourists can also do a mountain safari that allows them to experience the life of the Sinai Bedouins such as; food, Bedouin tea, camping, camel rides, observing the stars from above the mountains and watching the sunset or sunrise.

They can also visit the Ras Muhammad Reserve, known as the coral beach, because it represents the head of the Sinai Peninsula in the Red Sea, which makes it an ideal place for ping.

It is worth noting, an hour and a half from Sharm El Sheikh you can visit Moses's Mount which witnessed the story of the Prophet Moses speaking to God, near it the Monastery of St. Catherine at the highest peak of a mountain in Egypt called by the same name.
