Sharm El Sheikh

One of the Red Sea's most cosmopolitan resorts, Sharm el Sheikh is located at the south end of the Sinai Peninsula, between the Gulf of Suez and Gulf of Aqaba. It is the perfect holiday destination for year-round sunshine and pristine beaches, and the huge choice of All Inclusive hotels means it's easy to have a cheap Sharm el Sheikh holiday, too, with all your food, drink and entertainment all taken care of.

Visitors to Sharm el Sheikh will find it is a beautiful place to explore – from its breath-taking mountain backdrop to the picture perfect views and crystal clear seas. Sharm el Sheikh's warm water and amazing coral reefs are home to myriad brightly coloured fish, making this a top destination for snorkelling and diving. Beginners needn't feel left out – there are plenty of dive schools offering cheap lessons from starter dives, to full PADI qualifications.

The pubs, clubs and bars of the Naama Bay area are the vibrant heart of the resort, while the Hadaba and Ras Um Sid area offers a more relaxed feel with coffee shops and local bazaars. The resorts extend along the coast, making the most of the fantastic inshore reefs and stunning coral sand in areas such as El Pasha Bay, Sharks Bay and Nabq Bay. Around an hour away from Sharm el Sheikh Dahab, a laid back resort with pretty beaches and great scenery, that is popular with windsurfers and water sports enthusiasts.
