Sharm El Sheikh is Egypt's celebrated Red Sea diving and beach resort, set on the Sinai Peninsula where desert mountains meet some of the world's most spectacular coral reefs. A favourite for sun, snorkelling and world-class diving — including the famous reefs of Ras Mohammed and Tiran — it offers calm resort bays, all-inclusive hotels and a lively central bay, all under near-constant sunshine. Its hotels line a string of beautiful bays, from family-friendly resorts with house reefs to upscale escapes, making it an easy, sunny beach holiday year-round.

Where to stay

  • Nabq Bay — a long stretch of luxury all-inclusive resorts and family hotels, just minutes from the airport; spacious, calm and great for families.
  • Sharks Bay — between Nabq and Naama, prized for its superb house reefs right offshore — ideal for snorkellers and divers.
  • El Hadaba (Hadaba) — a peaceful clifftop area renowned for stunning coral reefs and diving, with sea views and a balance of calm and convenience.
  • Naama Bay — the lively central heart of restaurants, cafés, shops and bazaars, with plenty of hotels and a buzzing seafront promenade.

When to visit

Sharm El Sheikh enjoys sunshine almost every day of the year, and its most comfortable months are spring (March–May) and autumn (October–November), warm and ideal for the beach and the reefs. Winter (November–March) is mild and the busiest, peak season — a sunny escape with crystal-clear water that divers love. Summer (June–September) is hot but the bargain season, with the warmest sea, superb snorkelling and the best value. The Red Sea is warm and swimmable all year.
