Popular holidays

All-Inclusive Relaxation

Sharm is famous for its luxury resorts that line the Red Sea, offering everything from swim-up bars and private beaches to all-you-can-eat buffets and spas. Ideal for couples and families alike, it’s the kind of place where you can do as much—or as little—as you like.

Diving & Snorkelling Adventures

Home to some of the most spectacular coral reefs in the world, Sharm is a diver’s paradise. The Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran are brimming with colourful fish, dramatic drop-offs, and legendary dive sites like the SS Thistlegorm wreck.

Desert Safari Escapes

Step away from the coast and into the otherworldly landscapes of the Sinai Desert. From quad biking and camel rides to Bedouin dinners under the stars, the desert offers a wild and magical contrast to the seaside calm.

Perched at the tip of Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, Sharm El Sheikh is a dazzling mix of crystal-clear waters, dramatic desert landscapes, and luxurious resorts. Whether you're here for world-class diving, family fun, or simply to unwind beneath the sun, “Sharm” serves up an unforgettable cocktail of nature, culture, and comfort.

A World-Famous Diving Destination

Sharm’s coral reefs are among the healthiest and most vibrant in the world. The waters here are warm, clear, and packed with marine life—from clownfish to sea turtles and reef sharks. Whether you’re an experienced diver or a first-time snorkeller, the underwater world is spectacular.


A Gateway to Ancient Wonders

While Sharm itself is modern and purpose-built, it offers access to thousands of years of history. Day trips to Mount Sinai, where Moses is said to have received the Ten Commandments, or St. Catherine’s Monastery, one of the oldest in the world, add a spiritual and cultural depth to your stay.

A Winter Sun Haven

Thanks to its consistently warm weather, Sharm is a go-to destination for winter sun. Even in December or January, temperatures often hover around a balmy 22°C – making it a perfect escape from the grey skies back home.

Weather

Sharm enjoys year-round sunshine. Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) offer the most pleasant temperatures, while summer can be very hot. Winter is warm, sunny, and ideal for a relaxing break.

Spoken Languages and Currency

The official language is Arabic, but English is widely spoken in hotels, restaurants, and tourist areas. The local currency is the Egyptian Pound (EGP), and while many places accept card payments, it’s helpful to carry some cash for tips and small purchases.
