5 Things You Must Do In Sharm

Sharm el Sheikh is Egypt’s oldest and most popular location. Its terrific climate lures visitors from Europe and the rest of the globe all year round. In the daytime, holiday makers relax on the shores or by the pool and at nighttime, Sharm el Sheikh Old Town and Na’ama Bay come to life with countless bars, cafes and restaurants offering something for all.

Throughout the day, for people who must have something to keep them busy, there are many tours out there and these are five of the best ones available. One of the main reasons that tempted folk to the area was the fantastic marine life and you’re able to explore the stunning reefs with a snorkeling trip. The most popular places for the day excursions are the Ras Mohammed National Park or Jackson Reef in the Straits of Tiran. Regardless of which excursion you decided upon, you won’t be disappointed.

Two or three hours drive is Mount Sinai and there are regular coach trips taking travellers to the highest point in the Sinai to observe the sun rise over the mountains. The scenery around the mountains is dramatic and anyone making the early start won’t be disappointed. A different in demand destination in the Sinai is the magnificent Colour Canyon. Visiting by 4-wheel drive vehicles, people are able to explore the amazing tones and rock formations of the Colour Canyon.

Cairo is always a well liked excursion from Sharm el Sheikh and frequent excursions by plane and bus take people off to the Egyptian capital. The tour starts off with a visit to the Cairo Museum which is rife with historic items such as the celebrated Mask of Tutankhamen. From the museum, the next stop is lunch time of a Nile river boat before venturing over to Giza and the Pyramids. The Sphinx is a quick bus ride away and when you finish spending time there, there is still time to have a look at a perfume shop and a papyrus shop before travelling back to Sharm el Sheikh.

Not wishing to overlook an Egyptian encounter, a different in demand Sharm tour is an early evening camel ride out in the desert followed by a Bedouin dinner. Taking in the quiet of the desert below a starlit sky is a perfect way to wind down after a day unwinding on the beach front.
