The
simplicity of sun, sea and sand. The luxury of five-star hotels,
water sports, shopping and entertainment. This is Sharm el-Sheikh,
one of the most accessible and developed tourist resort communities
on the Sinai peninsula. All around are Bedouins, colorful tents,
mountains and sea. There are small, intimate hotels with modern
designs, as well as larger hotel complexes belonging to International
chains, plus about all the amenities one could expect of a tourist
center, including casinos, discos and nightclubs, golf courses
and health facilities. In fact, with diving and snorkeling,
windsurfing and other water sports, horses and camel riding,
desert safaris, and great nearby antiquities attractions, it
is almost impossible for a visitor to ever suffer from boredom.
Four miles south the
southern section of the town stands on a cliff overlooking the port.
and is a great view. Na'ama Beach is one of the center of the
tourist activities. Located just north of Sharm, this area is
developing into a resort town of its own. Most hotels at
Na'ama Bay have their own, private beaches with comfortable
amenities such as chairs, shades and even bars.
Shark's Bay is also
nearby, and again is a growing resort community with more and more
to offer, along with several diving centers. The small harbor known
as Sharm el-Moiya is located next to the civil harbor, has
accommodations for boats, and includes a Yacht Club with rooms. For those who live to
shop, the Sharm El-Sheikh mall provides shops with both foreign and
local products, including jewelry, leather goods, clothing, pottery
and books. It has been said that
this is a must visit for all diving enthusiasts. There are many
diving sites along the 10 mile beach between Sharm el-Sheikh
and Ras Nusrani.
