Sharm el Sheikh Tours, Vacations & Travel Packages

  • Sunset and swimming pool at Sharm el Sheikh
  • Expect a turquoise coloured ocean while on Sharm el Sheikh tours.
  • Shopping street el mercato

  • Red Sea coast of Sharm el Sheikh - a great photo opportunity while on your Egypt vacation.

Located at the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula is Sharm El Sheik, the cosmopolitan capital of the peninsula and the administrative hub of Egypt’s South Sinai Governorate. 

Once a simple fishing village, Sharm El Sheik’s strategic geographical location transformed the village into a major port and naval base for the Egyptian navy. When the Sinai Peninsula was captured by Israel in 1967, it began to develop further as a tourist destination and when Egypt regained the territory in 1982, the government embarked on an initiative to continue the growth started by the Israelis. As a result, present-day Sharm El Sheik is a well-known port and resort town and is regarded as one of the finest diving spots in the world on an Egypt vacation.

The reefs of Tiran and Ras Mohammed (a protected national park) are two particularly well-known diving areas on trips to Egypt. Ras Mohammed is located at the southernmost point of the Sinai Peninsula. The increased plankton found here makes the amount of fish in the region incredible with huge schools of barracuda, sharks and murrays spotted daily.

While many come to enjoy “Sharm’s” good weather and beaches, others use it as a base to explore the Sinai desert and of course, Mount Sinai where it is said that Moses received the Ten Commandments.
