When the snow and ice of winter become relentless and dreary, many people plan their escape with Sharm el Sheikh holidays. The small city that bears that name is becoming an increasingly popular destination, and its warm desert temperatures help to keep the calm nearby waters balmy all year long.
For millenniums, people have fought over this strategic region, primarily due to its location as a major port on the Red Sea. Today, the city has once again been restored to Egyptian control, and now calls itself the Red Sea Riviera. It has become a holiday favorite for many Europeans.
The town itself has several distinct neighborhoods. Those looking for that perfect souvenir will probably find it the Old Market area. The nearby neighborhoods of Hadaba and Ras Om El Seed are not only home to many citizens, but also abound in interesting shops and cafes, and there is even a water park.
The center of this small city is called Naama Bay. Newly constructed Western-style hotels have created a vibrant nightlife, while bazaars, street cafes and nightclubs provide an exciting vacation backdrop. Take in the ever-present Bedouin influence and style, or dance until the wee hours to the latest beats.
By far the most popular attraction, however, is the crystal clear, balmy water just offshore. Not only is it home to spectacular corals and colorful tropical fish, but is also acknowledged to be a world-class opportunity for scuba diving and snorkeling. The reefs are close by, and all diving is beach based.
Also home to incredible diving is Ras Mohammed National Park, and for those who prefer camping under the wide desert sky, there are three other easily accessible national parks located nearby. No matter which vacation style you prefer, Sharm el Sheikh holidays can help you put together the perfect itinerary.
