Sharm El Sheikh
Sharm El Sheikh is located in the south of the Sinai Peninsula, Egypt.
Sharm El Sheikh, which translates to "Sheikh's Bay", is also known as "The City of Peace". From 2023 Sharm el-Sheikh is considered the safest place in the Sinai Peninsula. The police and the Egyptian army have built a wall around the city and even the main streets have military/police checkpoints and cameras monitor the city. Every vehicle is checked before entering the city, so you can feel safe here!
Sharm El Sheikh, the southern coast of the Gulf of Aqaba, between the Tiran Islands and Ras Mohammed National Park, boasts one of the world's most stunning underwater landscapes. A trip to the Sharm el-Sheikh region is ideal for anyone who likes active leisure and water sports. The coastline is lined with luxury resorts, restaurants and nightclubs, while the crystal clear water and incredible variety of exotic fish that swim in and out of the colorful coral reefs make Sharm El Sheikh a diving paradise.
Sharm El Sheikh belonged to Israel during the Sinai conflict in 1956, but was returned to Egypt a year later. During the deployment of United Nations peacekeepers, the city was again captured by Israel in 1967 and only in 1982 was Sharm El Sheikh, together with the Sinai Peninsula, returned to Egypt. Since then, the Egyptian government has taken the initiative to continue the development of the city. Tourism here has become the most important and largest business area of the resort.
The Sharm El Sheikh region has one of the best resorts on the Red Sea. This region is divided into 6 resort zones, districts, of which the most famous and popular districts of the Sharm El Sheikh region are:
Naama Bay ("Elder's Bay") is the oldest and most popular part of the Sharm el-Sheikh region, with hotels located on the second and third lines. Along the entire beach of Naama Bay there is a pedestrian street with restaurants, cafes, discos and shops.
Shark's Bay is a relatively new resort area in Sharm El Sheikh, famous for its coral reef and luxury hotels.
Ras Um El Sid Bay is located in the Hadaba district, near Naama Bay and is famous for its living and one of the most impressive coral gardens in all of Sharm El Sheikh. Due to the Hadaba area located in the bay, strong winds are least likely in winter or cold, so this area is a great choice for families with children or individuals who want shelter.
Other areas: like Ras Nosrani (next to a beautiful coral reef, part of which is in a wild, protected area). In the Ras Nasrani area, a pedestrian promenade runs along the sea, it's fun to walk or jog in the mornings and/or evenings and accompany or meet the sun. The area is suitable for people looking for a quieter rest, and those who want to go to the old town or other areas, such as the center of Naama Bay, will have to order taxi services, because local buses run only from the main street and do not go to this area.
Nabq Bay is one of the most popular areas chosen by families with children, because there are more hotels with water slides, adults looking for exclusive high-class hotels, but you should not forget that during the winter - here the wind is the strongest and will be most noticeable, as well as the coral reefs the reefs are dead and in some places dead and the tides are more noticeable near some hotels and Sharm El Maya.
