If you have never heard about Sharm el Sheikh in Egypt, now is the time to take note, because this beautiful Egyptian port city has as much to offer any vacationer looking for sunshine, swimming, scuba, snorkelling, surfing, and sailing as any other seaside holiday destination in the world. Sharm el Sheikh at the tip of the Sinai Peninsula on the Red Sea, is a first-class town with world class reefs, diving locations, drop-offs, shipwrecks, and other exotic aquaculture.

If relaxing is your top priority, then you'll appreciate the many fine hotels in Sharm el Sheikh hotels, such as the Jolie Ville Mövenpick Resort and Casino or the Red Sea Novotel Hotel in Sharm el Sheikh. You can choose to spend your time lounging around the pool soaking up sunshine, or spending it in the markets, or the casinos, or on many of Sharm el Sheikh's fine beaches.

If you're looking for more to do than tan, and you've already seen all the bars, restaurants, shops and the attractive Mediterranean promenade, then there are always excursions out to the vast Sinai Desert, or perhaps a night-time camel ride to do some star gazing. If that's not enough, then perhaps an excursion to the ancient City of Petra in Jordan, or St. Katherine Monastery, presumedly the location of the biblical Burning Bush might be in order.

Sharm el Sheikh has something to offer every traveler, and while it takes great pride in its fine scuba diving locations, there's much more to see and do when you visit this great Egyptian getaway.
