What to do and see in Sharm El Sheikh, Red Sea and Sinai: The Best Day Trips from

December 30, 2021 Cedrick Jardin

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.

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!!

DO NOT BOOK THIS… “Red Sea Experiences” are terrible tour operators. I do not know if this is even a genuine tour operation. If yes, they will definitely spoil your holiday! The only efficient part of their tour is when you make the payment while booking the tour. That went through fast, quick and without a problem. I booked a full-day tour to Dahab from Sharm El-Sheik. After I booked the tour, no one contacted me at all to tell me where, when and how they were going to pick me up. I called and no one responded. Finally closer to 6PM the previous day, I got a response saying that they will let me know in an hour. Then later in the night I was told that there would be a pick up at 7:20AM the next day at the hotel reception. So I got to the hotel reception at exactly 7:20AM and true to the previous day’s experience, they never showed up. They were completely unreachable through message or even phone – the phone number listed does not work for you to reach them, it’s a facade. I was waiting for almost 1.5 hours before I realized that they were never going to show up and decided to go back. I cannot believe how this is listed under viator/tripadvisor – are there no due diligence done before enlisting the tours companies?!!! I do not even know if I am going to get my refund!!!! This has been the single worst holiday experience

It would be hard to do the Museum without a good resource/guide (even if you get the sound guides, they offer limited info). Architecturally, it feels as old as it is (in a great way). The Interior Design is not fancy and manicured like something you'd see in Paris, Rome, London, New York. Personally, I found this to be really enjoyable and complement the history of the building. Also, with the interior design very basic, it allowed all the artifacts to shine more. There is a TON OF STUFF in here. There is so much history, that statues, sculptures, and monuments are stashed in some of the closed corridors. Again, without a good guide, this would be overwhelming to enjoy. Emad did a great job!
