Sharm el Sheikh is a bustling cosmopolitan resort at the south end of Sinai Peninsula between the Gulf of Suez and Gulf of Aqaba. It offers a breathtaking mountainous backdrop, sandy beaches, crystal-clear waters and some of the world's finest coral reefs.

Guaranteed sunshine year-round make it a haven for sun seekers and beach lovers, and it is ideal for exploring the Red Sea Riviera from above and below from a spot of snorkelling to a full scale diving safari.

Sharm itself offers a heady mix of traditional entertainment, bazaars and coffee shops, gourmet restaurants and trendy bars around the Old Market and Hadaba/Ras Um Sid, and the lively pubs and clubs of Naama Bay. The nearby resorts of El Pasha Bay, Sharks Bay and Nabq Bay each add their own distinctive, laid-back character.

New for 2012, we can also now offer the resort of Dahab, an hour along the coast. This laid-back resort with it's cinnamon-coloured mountains and golden sands is one of the prettiest on the Red Sea, and a haven for wind-surfers and divers alike.
