Restaurants of Sharm El Sheikh


Sharm El Sheikh Restaurants

Dining in Sharm El Sheikh is just as diverse as Cairo. This Sharm El Sheikh travel guide provides you with all of the dining options that are available.


Sharm El Sheikh Restaurants


Along the southern end of Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula is the town of Sharm El Sheikh. It is now known as thriving tourist hotspot with some of the world’s most well known hotel and restaurant chains, as well as world class scuba diving, nightlife, shopping and beaches. Interestingly, only thirty years ago it was a blank spot of desert sand alongside the sparkling Red Sea, but after an early 1980s peace agreement between Israel and Egypt the area quickly developed into its modern appearance.

Tourists of all kinds come to the area; divers, families, city dwellers, world travelers, retirees and many others, and the region’s businesses reflect that multinational patronage. Nowhere is that more clear than in the restaurants of Sharm El Sheikh, which include everything from the McDonald’s hamburger restaurant chain to five star gourmet establishments at the area’s exclusive resorts.


Sharm El Maya


What a visitor eats depends greatly on the area of the town in which they are located. For example, in the Sharm El Maya area, which is the “old town”, travelers can dine at the Old Market alongside many locals and enjoy some of the finest Egyptian specialties and delicacies available – including remarkably fresh seafood brought into the markets each day. Even when staying in a five star resort, visitors are encouraged to head into the Old Market area to sample the region’s wonderful cuisine.

Additionally, the Sharm El Maya area is home to five of the town’s largest resorts as well as the Old Market and is a great place to safely wander, sampling the food and shops of the local vendors as well as taking in the lovely scenery along the bay.


The Resorts


For the all-inclusive crowd, the resorts of Sharm El Sheikh are among the most modern and up to date of the entire region, and they guarantee memorable foods and beverages.


Town Restaurants


In addition to the type of food served it should be noted that many of the town’s restaurants offer splendid scenery and romantic locations. For example, some restaurants rest right upon the beaches of the popular and busy Na’ama Bay, while others are perched high above the sea in the Ras Um Sid Cliff area only a few minutes outside of the town.

Dining at one of Sharm El Sheikh’s many restaurants is almost guaranteed to be an enjoyable experience. The prices are quite reasonable, especially when dining “locally” and the location is almost impossible to beat. The variety is suitable to every type of taste, and for the pickiest eaters there are a large number of recognizable “chain” restaurants to dine.

Sharm El Sheikh easily represents a rare collection of choices in such an exotic and unique location.
