Sharm is Egypt’s oldest and most well liked holiday location. Its great weather attracts tourists from Europe and the rest of the planet all year round. In the daytime, tourists relax on the beach locations or by the swimming pool and in the evening, Sharm Old Town and Na’ama Bay come alive with loads of bars, cafes and restaurants offering something for everyone.
During the day, for the people who require something to do, there are lots of tours out there and these are definitely five of the finest excursions on offer. One of the first reasons that attracted folk to the area was the renowned underwater life and you can easily investigate the underwater world with a snorkeling trip. The most popular spots for the day excursions are the Ras Mohammed National Park or Jackson Reef in the Straits of Tiran. No matter which trip you chose, you will not be let down.
A few hours drive is Mount Sinai and there are regular excursions taking travellers to the highest spot in the Sinai to witness the sun rise over the mountains. The scenery close to the mountains is eye-catching and anybody choosing the early start won’t be disappointed. Another popular place in the desert is the fabulous Colour Canyon. Venturing by off road vehicles, people will be able to take a look at the renowned shades and rock formations of the Colour Canyon.
Cairo is always a well liked tour from Sharm el Sheikh and regular trips by airplane and coach take travellers off to the Egyptian capital. The day trip begins with a visit to the Cairo Museum which is brimming with ancient pieces which includes the famed Mask of Tutankhamen. From the museum, the next stop is lunch time of a Nile river boat just before heading over to Giza and the Pyramids. The Sphinx is a quick bus ride away and when you finish spending time there, there is still time to pay a visit to a perfume shop and a papyrus shop just before going back to Sharm.
Not wanting to lose out on an Egyptian experience, an additional well liked Sharm tour is an early evening camel ride out in the desert followed by a Bedouin dinner. Taking in the quiet of the desert below a starlit sky is the best way to wind down after a day kicking back on the beachfront.
