Sharm El Sheikh : Introduction
Situated on the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula of Egypt, Sharm el-Sheikh is Egypt's premier diving destination, making it perfect for a summer break. With some of the best diving on the planet, in the neighbouring Red Sea, its underwater majesty has to be seen to be believed. Find out for yourself with one of our cheap flights to Sharm El Sheikh.
However, Sharm El Sheikh is definitely not a one trick pony. It offers visitors a fantastic array of activities, largely thanks to the city's unique surroundings. One the one side, the city is bordered by the Red Sea and on the other the towering mountains that form a range around Mount Sinai. There are many day trips available for visitors, so buy a ticket for one of our flights to Sharm El Sheikh today and explore this historic city tomorrow.
Another big attraction in the area is the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Catherine's Monastery at the foot of Mount Sinai. One of the oldest functioning Christian monasteries in the world, Saint Catherine's is only the monastery's nickname; its official name is the slightly more dramatic, “The Sacred and Imperial Monastery of the God-Trodden Mount of Sinai.”
For all history and archaeological enthusiasts, one of our flights to Sharm El Sheikh will show you a world you could never have imagined. Especially if you combine your trip to Saint Catherine's with an overnight hike up Mount Sinai to see the sunrise in the morning, it is simply breathtaking.
The region's climate is very conducive to a fantastic summer break, with temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius daily. The city itself stretches along the coastline and Naama Bay is the main entertainment hub for visitors.
Naama Bay is known for its 1km long sandy beach, fantastic restaurants, hotels and trendy bars. One of our Sharm El Sheikh flights offers you the opportunity to go and experience this fusion of the old and new worlds at your own leisure.
Entertainment in Sharm El Sheikh is definitely available in every shape and form, but the tourism industry of the city revolves around the Red Sea. It is one of the most popular diving locations in the world because of its warm waters. Some other watersports on offer include windsurfing, kitesurfing, parasailing, boating and canoeing.
You might want to wait a day or two after arrival aboard one of our affordable flights to Sharm El Sheikh before venturing to the hidden gem that is the “Labyrinth” or “White Canyon”. Millions of years' worth of erosion has created a maze of narrow passages that wind and weave between the intricate canyons above, which provide some welcome shade during the warm Egyptian summer.
The city is actually in the Ras Mohammed national park of South Sinai and it, along with Nabq have more than a few world famous diving spots. One of the most notable diving areas gives divers the opportunity to explore the 2,600ft deep reef walls and the coral gardens they protect.
Why not go and explore this marvellous destination this summer aboard one of our flights to Sharm El Sheikh? Enjoy the sunshine, gorgeous beaches and Egyptian hospitality at its very best in Sharm El Shiekh.
