Several protected sites, such as Ras Mohammed National Park, offer fascinating underwater panoramas featuring sharks, turtles, and tropical fish. Certified PADI centers provide beginner dives, training courses, and excursions for experienced divers, all guided by knowledgeable local instructors.

Relaxing on the Beaches

Enjoy the fine sand of the private or public beaches lining the bay of Sharm El-Sheikh. Whether relaxing on a sun lounger or directly on the sand, you’ll be surrounded by an idyllic setting with views of desert cliffs and crystal-clear waters. It’s also a great starting point for glass-bottom boat rides or morning yoga sessions facing the sea.

Explore the Desert on an Excursion

Embark on a 4x4, quad, or buggy safari into the heart of the Sinai. Amid canyons, dunes, and Bedouin villages, this excursion offers a striking contrast to the beaches. Spend a night under canvas in a desert camp and watch the sunset over the dunes — a unique opportunity to experience authentic desert life.

Wander through the Souks and Local Markets

Stroll through the bustling souks of Old Sharm El-Sheikh, searching for exotic scents, spices, carpets, jewelry, and local crafts. The lively interactions with vendors, the aroma of incense, and the vibrant atmosphere create a true sensory journey.

Watch the Sunrise at Mount Sinai

Climb to the summit of Mount Sinai for a breathtaking moment suspended between heaven and earth. This legendary ascent, often undertaken at night with a headlamp, allows you to reach the peak by dawn and witness a spectacular sunrise over the desert mountains. This iconic site, rich in history and spirituality, offers an unforgettable experience that is both physically challenging and deeply contemplative. The effort of the climb (about 2 to 3 hours) is more than rewarded by panoramic views and the unique atmosphere of the place. On your way down, a visit to St. Catherine’s Monastery, located at the mountain’s base, perfectly completes the excursion.
