Pharaos curse - bad stomach.
In a nutshell

Go diving and forget that you're in one of the biggest resort areas in Egypt
24 Reviews Na'ama bay is the centre of all action in Sharm-el-Sheikh. Everything lives to tourism and from tourism. The beach is segmented in several private concessions, with a band of less than 20 meters considered public beach, which means that you don't pay the access to a restaurant or hotel, but... to......
43 Reviews It was a great day! St. Katherine, Coloured Canyon, Blue Hole, were the highlights of a day trip that included the usual performance of a jeep bogging in the desert, with tourists pushing it under a shower of sand. We were 9 which means that we filled the jeep, allowing to negotiate a specific...
31 Reviews The national park is, officially, the best place to see the reefs, but... will it really be? Flocks of tourists interact each day with the reef, causing erosion and and damaging the natural balance. They try to relief the pressure, finding other spots, and spreading people. We did, visit a couple of...
40 Reviews One of the featured snorkeling places in Sinai is this one, close to Dahab. The reef is not a wall, as everywhere else, but a sort of carpet, wide, rich, wonderful, with a deep hole in the middle. There, the dark blue and cold water create a vertiginous sensation. Indeed, a unique experience....
26 Reviews We had the choice of an early morning ride out or an evening one. They do it at these times so you can see the sun rise or set as its pretty nice in Egypts sky. We picked the evening one due to i carn't get up very well in a morning. We got picked up at around 4pm by bus and took to the quad bike...
23 Reviews This was my second time in Sharm-el-Sheikh, and also the second visit to St. Katherine. In the first one, I wrote a tip in Egypt page, now I got a different impression. In the first visit I went there expressly, using a taxi - this time it was a stop in the desert safari. Better idea! Paying the...
43 Reviews Increasingly people are visiting the red sea and not seeing under water as there is more and more to do 'overwater'. this is a shame though. i did most of my diving in the florida keys but the red sea is a much better dive site. we did some beach diving in naama bay itself and then had a day boat...
15 Reviews We decided to take a glass bottom boat trip because I had never done one before. We booked it at the sister hotel to ours (i think it was Albatros something, ours was the Aqua Blu) as they offered better prices than our hotel but I think you can do trips like this from many places around...
6 Reviews I enjoyed the visit to the "old market" though clearly understanding that "old" means not so new as the rest. The ambiance gets closer to what we should expect in that area of the world, and commerce more diverse. The kitsch use of a natural hill deeply transformed helps to enhance that ambiance,...
7 Reviews I will give anything a go when on holiday and in Egypt a camel ride seems to be the norm. I went on the ride near the blue hole but i got offered a go where ever you go. I didn't cost alot at all really and i went right down the edge of a beach and sea. It wasn't the best ride ever i had done. The...
7 Reviews This trip to Tiran island has one and just one purpose - snorkel. We visited three different spots, all with different characteristics. We were a large group, and we really had fun, in a new, clean and well maintained boat, where even the lunch... was good. Bargain! With a list price of 25£, we...
3 Reviews This is the view looking over sharkes Bay, we got a taxi to take us there and back for approx £8.00 the journey was probobly 30-40mins each way. There are a few restaurants on the beach front and of course the coral reef which John tells me was very good. I was more intrested in the camels on the...
12 Reviews A sure shot of smoothing your nerves after a Hard Day of Swimming and other Activites...Have a Nice Hookah( water pipe) in different flavours and watch the Whole Sharm walk around....Also you get to see a EGYPTIAN NOMADIC JIGGY done mostly by the Entertainers of the cafe...!! Make sure you dnt miss...
5 Reviews Moses Mountain again is a very popular attraction in Sharm. It is not for the faint hearted though as it is a long day. I know someone who did this tour and although they said it was fantastic, they said it was very tiring and also worth it for the amazing view. It lasts around 3-4 hours where you...
9 Reviews Sinai looks like nothing so much as the surface of the moon.The Sinai Peninsula consists of an area of some 61,000 square kilometers. Geographical Sinai belongs to Egypt cut from its motherland by the Suez Canal. The natural barriers are the Gulf of Suez to the west, separating the African continent...
8 Reviews It started off with a 1 hour camel ride in the desert mountains. Don't worry there is a break after about 30 minutes. I will say the camel ride part was a bit uncomfortable but worth the experience. The we sat around a camp fire and talked. Our tour guide told us all we wanted to know about the...
5 Reviews If it was the objective of our trip, I would classify it as a tourist trap. Being a complement, it was... fun. The canyon is tiny, and colours... well, with imagination and good will... It is not a thing to see - it is a radical experience. Going up and down the rocks was a challenge, easy to most...
3 Reviews Nabq Bay, a quiet bay located a half an hour drive from Na'ama Bay, offers incredible opportunity for “wild” (unguided) snorkeling experience along with good views over to Tiran Island. The advantage of the place is that it is still relatively wild, semi-free from the hotels (the Louis Tiran Sharm...
2 Reviews This is the beach near to the hotel, i read a few coments before going that it was along walk from the hotel (Some people complain about anything!!). But take my word its only about 10 minutes and they run a free bus their and back approx 5/6 times a day. The corals here are amazing, and if your...
