Coral gardens of infinite colour, spectacular undersea cliffs which seem to drop to infinity and stunning underwater wrecks with a myriad of shimmering fish all add up to the paradise that is Sharm El Sheikh.

At the tip of the Sinai Peninsula at the top of the Red Sea where it divides into the Gulfs of Aqaba and Suez, this is a perfect dive destination for novices and experienced divers alike, with all the facilities one could ask for.

Sharm El Sheikh is not only a delightful haven for divers and snorkellers, but is a lively, thriving holiday resort ideal for sun-worshippers and water sports enthusiasts. On the edge of the Red Sea, Sharm has white, sandy beaches, a mountainous desert landscape, mangrove-lined lagoons and crystal clear waters with exotic corals all to recommend it. The horseshoe Naama Bay is a bustling and lively place with a promenade stretching around the Bay, ideal for people spotting, taking a stroll and stopping off for refreshments or souvenir buying as the mood takes you. Nightlife is vibrant and the many clubs, bars, cafes and restaurants will not disappoint even the most cosmopolitan visitor to this fun town.
