What to do and see in Sharm El Sheikh, Red Sea and Sinai: The Best Bus Tours

April 23, 2022 Natalie Tallman

Diverse marine life and hundreds of Red Sea coral reef sites make Sharm El Sheikh a magnet for divers and eco-tourists. The tourist economy of this Sinai Peninsula city has grown quite rapidly over the last few decades, resulting in an upcrop of first-class resorts and posh nightlife. The waters of Ras Mohamed National Park are abundant with schools of fish and, oddly, toilets – thanks to the bathroom fixtures being transported by a cargo ship that sank during a 1981 storm.

Canyons are great, the rest of the tour was extremely poor. First of all, never book tours with Dahab Safari Day Tours: - given phone rarely answered, I had to call twice (without success) a day before the tour to get confirmation and details of the tour (like pick time etc) - promised guide language was not provided, basically there was no a guide in this tour who could explain something; - in a jeep there were 9+1(kid) people instead of 8 - due to accumulated delays, the jeep was driven with very high speed (100+km/h), compromising security of passengers (there were no security belts of course) - we came back to the hotel more than 1 hour later, although it has been promised to be in time. Partially it's due to delays during canyon tour that was not properly managed by a company, partially due to not transferring us to our hotel first (as it was promised), but the last. Due to the lack of time there was no Dahab visit. The blue hole that was a part of the tour is not worth to visit: dirty place and very bad restaurant.

Highly recommend working with this tour company. They can arrange whatever tour you want. We already did a tour with our hotel to the pyramids, Memphis and Sakkara, which was a full rip-off at more than double this price. I highly recommend booking online rather than with your hotel. We arranged to go to the Cairo Museum with this company and had Doaa as a guide. She was so lovely to be around and was a treasure trove of information! We also walked around the old market. We only liked Cairo when we were with Doaa, otherwise we got harassed a lot of the time. Doaa is super chill and we enjoyed our tour with her.

It's a unique experience to follow the biblical history of the sacred mountain, where it’s believed Moses received the Ten Commandments. Climbing to the summit to watch a spectacular sunrise is worth the tough efforts you do. Our tips: - be ready for a cold weather on the top (ecpecially in winter season, snow, -C temperature) and take with you heavy clothes (gloves, hat, jacket); - you can take hot drinks with you in thermo cup and some snacks. The prices on the mountain are "touristic"; - wear comfortable shoes; - there is option to rent a camel if you are tired, but the last part of the route - 750 steps to the top you have to walk. Attention: we do not pick up at the airport, port or bus stations located on the ring road. The possible pickup locations are any hotel within Sharm-el-Sheikh and bus stations on El Salam road. The possible drop-off locations are any hotel within Sharm-el-Sheikh, airport main entrance gates (300m walking to terminal), bus stations on El Salam road.

Inclusions: Air-conditioned vehicle, Entrance fees, Hotel pickup and drop-off, Bedouin guide during climbing up the mountain

Exclusions: Food&Drink, Camel ride

I highly recommend taking this trip by plane. We booked less than 2 days in advance, there were almost no tickets left. We had business class seats to go. My name was wrong so I had to buy another ticket at the airport, maybe last seat on the plane. The agency was fair and deducted the amount from the total price agreed, very correct! From there, everything went very smooth. We were expected at the airport in Cairo by our guide Zenab and our driver. We had a private tour just for ourselves. We could go at our own pace. Zenab was a great guide and person. She was very welcoming and did her best to please us at all times. Overall, I totally recommend this travel agency, they are very thrust worthy and will guide you from and back to your hotel entrance. Thank you!!

Good day all round, had fun on quad bikes and spider moto. Shame you had to follow in a line and only go as fast as the person in front. Spider Moto was enjoyable especially when the sun was setting on the horizon. Running down a sand dune was an unexpected delight. Food was very basic, shame it was cold but hey its January! Sadly no shisha as it was too windy and they were scared they might fall over and hurt people. Overall very good value for money. Be prepared for a bumpy trip in the desert.
