Close to Ras Mohammed National Marine Park on the Sinai Peninsular, Sharm is one of the world’s premier diving destinations and one of Egypt’s top Sinai resort towns. With hotels that cater for every whim, the naturally dramatic surrounding landscape, year-round dry and temperate climate and long stretches of calm beaches, Sharm is a Mecca for the sun lover in search of recreation. Scuba diving and snorkelling offer a spectacular and dazzling time for divers, whilst aqua pursuits such as banana boating, windsurfing and kayaking are offered by most hotels. There’s good nightlife and restaurants aplenty, and one can even play a round of golf, have a flutter at the casino or get in touch with the surrounding Bedouin communities on a hired camel or horse. Breathe in that fresh sea air as you unwind; this week is yours to enjoy! Overnight - Sharm el Sheikh.
