Sharm el Sheikh
Sharm el Sheikh is Egypt’s most popular resort and is located at the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula. Thousands of European tourists arrive here every day to enjoy the excellent weather and fantastic scuba diving at the local reefs, Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran.
Over the years, Sharm has grown and continues to do so. Although the resort can’t develop to the south due to Ras Mohammed National Park, building work continues further inland and to the north of the airport. Sharm el Sheikh really does offer something for everyone.
