Sharm El Sheikh: Egypt

A world-class diving destination and water sports mecca, Sharm El Sheikh boasts warm temperatures and waters all year round and is a favorite of European sun-seekers. This stretch of the Gulf of Aqaba, between Tiran Island and renowned Ras Mohammed National Park, is home to amazing coral reefs and exotic, rainbow-hued fish, and is widely considered one of the best dive sites in the world. Dive at Shark Reef with its namesake creatures, as well as barracuda and turtles. Not certified? No problem. There’s no need to dive to the depths to see the splendor – those who prefer snorkeling may explore shallow reefs closer to shore, such as Ras Nasrani and Ras Um Sid. No matter which you prefer, rest assured we will arrange a professionally captained boat and the equipment necessary to take full advantage of this marine magnificence.

Thrill-seekers are in luck in Sharm El Sheikh, where sailing, wind and kite-surfing, sky diving and even parachuting from a helicopter are all de rigeur. We can arrange adventures farther afield, perhaps a safari into the Sinai desert, a trek in the majestic Sinai Mountains with a knowledgeable guide or a Bedouin-style dinner under a starry desert sky.

Take full advantage of Sharm El Sheik’s well-deserved reputation as a sun-splashed resort town, choosing a daybed for an afternoon respite along the golden stretch of sand of Na’ama Bay. Shop for local treasures and get a feel for authentic Egyptian culture in the Old Town of Sharm. Indulge in world-class spa treatments at the city’s numerous resort spas. Dance the night away in trendy nightclubs and dine decadently at the many gourmet restaurants. For sun and sea conveniently close to the marvels of ancient Egypt, Sharm El Sheik delivers.
