Sharm El
Sheikh
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.
This is not all about Sharm Look forward to reading soon a detailed overview
about this paradise.
