Sharm El Sheikh Vacations

Sharm El Sheikh Vacations are for those looking for leisure, snorkeling, diving and great restaurants and nightlife.

The Red Sea Riviera

There is a region of Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula that is frequently referred to as the “Red Sea Riviera”; here a flourishing tourist industry continues to develop around the beautiful coastal waters and luxurious hotels. One of the premier destinations along the Red Sea Riviera is Sharm El Sheikh.

Remarkably, Sharm El Sheikh has only been a place of interest since the 1980s, when Egypt and Israel signed one of their historic peace agreements. The withdrawal of Israeli troops left the area free from turmoil, and soon hotels, resorts, restaurants, shops and deep sea diving companies began to flood the entire region.

Hotels and Resorts

For those looking to vacation in Sharm El Sheikh there are a large number of hotels and resorts in the small city. Since 1982 the number has grown from three to over ninety different accommodations providers, meaning that rooms, suites and private houses are some of the most modern in the region.

There are many all-inclusive resorts as well as standard hotels, most located within view of or directly on the beaches of Na’ama Bay.
