Essentials in Sharm el Sheikh

Sharm El Sheikh isn't so much about sights as it is about activities. Nonetheless the Sharm Old Town is a pretty place to visit. Sharm, as it's locally called, is a great place to take-off from to do day trips and other adventures. One of which is a trip to the desert, it's highly recommended. Take a trip to visit a Bedouin tribe, the Coloured Canyon and to Mount Sinai.

Beaches: Most hotels in Na'ama Bay will have their own access to teh beaches but if you're looking for something more secluded head to the Ras Mohamed National Park, located on the southern side of Sinai's tip. The beaches are clad in white dusty sand and are great for peaceful snorkelling in the reefs.

Camel-trekking: If you have time for an overnight trip, head to Coloured Canyon on camel-back. The Sinai region's rugged mountains and stunning sunsets, curious wildlife are just the beginning of the adventure waiting.

Shopping: Egypt is known for its gold and silver jewellery as well as its semi-precious stones. Shop in the small streets of Na'ama Bay or at the Old Market for a more authentic experience. Stock up on spices, pretty glass perfume bottle, leather satchels, sweets and traditional Bedouin textiles and embroidery.

Scuba diving: This area is also extremely popular for diving. It is the main activity for tourists here. Once you've seen the desert, take to the beach and explore the warm waters of the Red Sea. For shipwrecks, the SS Thistlegorm is a great ship to explore. In the summer it is also too crowded with tourist divers, so it's best explored early in the day or in the off-season.

Nightlife: For nightlife, Na'ama Bay is the best place to head. Most of the city's clubs, shops, coffee houses and bars are here.
