Sharm El Sheikh Nightlife

We had a free entrance to Pacha Sharm, and used it. Maybe because we arrived and left early (past 2 AM!) it was almost empty. I saw that the room is adaptable, and though a large space was out of use and wisely covered the sensation of emptiness was dominant.
The music is... the usual electronic hammer, and the space to dance was small, what didn't matter because people kept dancing in corridors or by the counter, to keep drinking without interruptions.
Funny decoration, it really may be hell in the featured parties, where the pool (one of the out of service parts) may play a strong role.

Pacha is one of the famous nightclubs in Sharm El Sheikh. I have never been here but i have heard good stuff about it and lots of people have recommended it to me. It is the first ever Pacha club in Africa and the Middle East. Lots of top well known Dj's have been here including Pete tong, Judge Jules, Smokin Joe and John Kelly. It has a reputation of being one of the top class clubs with impressive Dj's.

The stunning nightclub has cocktail bars, outdoor pools and private VIP rooms that come with terraces overlooking the action. The rooms can be booked for the party, the night or for a few days holiday. Guests can party in private whilst being surrounded by the sites and sounds of the nightclub. Where else can you pre-party, party and continue for the sunrise session?

Pacha also offers rides on board the Pacha boat. After a hard night's clubbing, hop on board and cruise the beautiful waters of the Red Sea, sip cocktails and dance on the decks. The boat is licensed for just 20 people and can be booked as a private charter or by individuals.

You can visit the website below for more photos and information and also contact them if you wish to book anything. Have a great time and be good!

Dress Code: Smart Casual, no trainers, hoods or caps

I was in Sharm less than a month ago and it was by far the best holiday that i have ever been on in my life!

I went with my family and met some friends out there that i had met the year before as we went around the same time and back to the hotel because we loved it so much.

We stayed at Hilton Sharks Bay Hotel, right next door to Concord, it is a 4 star, all inclusive hotel and it costs approx £60 a night per room (Can bed 3).

Inside the hotel there was 3 pools, 1 large pool, 1 smaller and 1 with a slide.

The hotel had 3 bars, 1 was for the night times, with dance music and entertainment.

There is a smaller bar down the bottom end of the hotel with a large pool table in it and an outside, upstairs, area to smoke shisha's in.

At the pool there is a swimup bar which goes round to a normal bar, the cocktails are included in the price of accomodation and are very refreshing in the 42 degree weather of august!

The nightlife in sharm is quite amazing, the best bet being to go down to Ali Baba at about 10.30pm where beer is £1 a pint! Then heading on down to Pacha, which i would consider to be better than the Pacha in Ibiza!

A not so cheap, but a much nicer bar, would be the camel bar, located a 30 second walk from the Hard Rock Cafe, the downstairs area of the bar has English football, pistachio nuts and friendly barman, the roof opens at 7pm where there is another bar, leather sofa's, umbrellas to block out the sun and a view of across the whole of Naama bay!

Once you have finished down the bars, head on down to Pacha, this costs about £20 to get in and this will also entitle you to one free alcoholic/soft drink. Inside Pacha it is an open roofed dance floor with foam pools and dancers.

Thursday nights are House Nation, Fridays and Saturdays are Ministry of Sound nights, all 3 of these nights are definately worth a visit for anyone that loves their music.

We are going back again in march and possibly August so I'll see what's new and write up another review!

Pacha in Egypt is great, it has an indoor pool and large dancing space and require DJ's from around the world! They have special nights on, for example 'Ministry of Sound'. It is a definately a must see if your into your dance music. It is located in Naama Bay strip, not far from Panorama. You do have to pay an entry fee of £15 (English), but i think it's well worth it. It doesn't really start of until about 10 pm then into the early hours of the morning. Definately recommended!

Dress Code: I don't think there is one! There is a pool in there so people stripped down to their swimwear!

We heard some good reports last year and didnt go so thought why not give it a try.

We went to check out the price one afternoon and got a free tour of the restuaruant, arena and some of the art work etc. it was all quite spectacular. We purchases our tickets that day for the english night, and got to choose which seats we wanted in the restaurant.

Total cost 180 EGP which includeds buffet dinner, entertainment whilst eating and than the Sound and Light Show.

There are many hookah or water pipe bars within naama bay. We met up with some friends who was in Egypt the same time as us for one night. We went to one of these places. You are sat nearly on the floor which was a very low level seats all covered in pillows and covers. You have a low laying table as well where the hookah or water pipe sits. They ask you if you want drink which we did. They ask what flavour tobacco you want and they set it all up and get it smoking for you. They also give you a plastic end which you put on each time to stop you putting your mouth where others have. We sat there for around 2 - 3 hours because the chairs are nearly like a low bed and you can spread out and chill on them. It was an enjoyable night which we had a good time with.

Dress Code: Any clothing can be worn at these places.

Unless you are staying there, the best way to reach Naama Bay while in Sharm el sheikh is by taxi (see my transportation tip for more info about taxis).

Naama Bay, we were told, comes to life at night, so we never saw it during the day. Naama Bay is full of bars with shisha pipes and cushions, and restaurants and shops, and Pacha nightclub is also there. We only went there on our last night unfortunately so we just experienced the atmosphere and did a little shopping in the Naama Center.

You will get pestered here. Every few feet you walk, you will be asked if you want a taxi. Also beware of anyone trying to offer you "free" gifts. I bought a couple of things from a lovely man at San Peter (see my shopping tip for details) and was then approached by someone who saw my carrier bag and began offering me a free gift because I apparently bought from his brother. Luckily I didn't 'buy' his story and politely declined his "free" gift. I had already been warned that nothing comes for free here.

I've included a photo with this tip but unfortunately it doesn't do it justice as Naama Bay is lit up with very colourful lanterns from all the various bedouin style restaurants and looks quite pretty!

Dress Code: No dress code for walking about but I imagine if you intend to go somewhere like Pacha you will be expected to dress to impress!
