Relax In Egypt With Sharm El Sheikh Holidays

By Dean James


When the icy, frigid winter weather seems like it will last forever, Sharm el Sheikh holidays can help plan your escape. The city known by that name occupies the southern tip of Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, where desert temperatures help keep the adjacent Red Sea at a comfortable 21 to 28 degrees centigrade all year.

This historically strategic region has been fought over for millenniums. Today, however, the region is under the stable control of Egypt, and has earned the nickname "The Red Sea Riviera." For many Europeans, it has become the holiday region of choice, and is relatively close by air travel.

This small city can be roughly divided into several distinct regions. Many visitors find the Old Market area to be an excellent location to shop for that extraordinary souvenir. The nearby neighborhoods of Ras Om El Seed and Hadaba are less than a kilometer away, and are home not only to cafes and shops, but also a water park.

The heart of this city is Naama Bay, where large hotels keep the nightlife buzzing. Street cafes, bazaars, and nightclubs all exist within the same small area, and now include luxurious restaurants. You can dance the night away, or simply relax and enjoy the Bedouin style and ambiance.

The number one attraction, however, is the sparkling Red Sea waters. They have been widely acknowledged as a world-class area for snorkeling or scuba diving. With unspoiled coral reefs providing a home for multitudes of creatures just off-shore, most diving is land or beach-based.

Other highlights in the region include Ras Mohammed National Park, also home to spectacular deep sea diving. Three other parks provide opportunities for camping, or simply enjoying the harsh but mysteriously beautiful desert scenery. Whatever you choose to see or do, Sharm el Sheikh holidays can provide an itinerary perfect for your style and taste.
