What to do and see in Sharm El Sheikh, Red Sea and Sinai: The Best Nature & Parks

July 11, 2021 Alice Mieles

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.

Great diving and snorkeling area.

Reviewed By jo9161evans

Amazing to snorkel. I stayed at faraana reef hotel in january and am booked to stay at reef oasis hotel next year booked these places specifically as I'd read it was good for snorkelling and it was. The second u put your feet in the water there are tons of coloured fish everywhere amazing the reef comes at you quick at the sides then drops over there are llatoons that you can walk out over there reff though the water underneath is so clear. There are fossils all in the sand cant wait to go back

This was the most incredible stop on our tour of Ras Mohammed Park. Diving from the boat into aqua marine waters then swimming to the pure white sand of the island, laying in the warm brilliant emerald water. It is like nothing I have ever experienced before.

Star Gazer Night

Escape the city lights and head to the desert for a romantic night of star gazing and Bedouin feasting on this deluxe tour from Sharm el Sheikh. Star gazing in the desert is a must-do experience during your stay in Egypt.Away from the lights of the city, you'll see the heavens as they are meant to be seen. With the aid of your professional guide, you'll enjoy the fantastic atmosphere of the desert as you observe the planets and stars through a telescope

Reviewed By 924leeleea

We did this trip last week and really enjoyed it - we had our Lawrence of Arabia moments - camel riding in the desert and a good buffet barbecue dinner with star gazing and a fire dancing performance afterwards. The atmosphere was what made it and the hospitality of the Bedouin people of course. Suitable for all ages and a good way to spend an evening out. I'd recommend wearing closed shoes and trousers or shorts for comfort especially during the camel ride. Take your own scarf for protection against the dust and sand - much cheaper from the town shops than from the Bedouins. Another piece of advice for anyone thinking of booking this trip - all tour and excursion companies in Sharm offer this trip and so if you email a few different companies, you will be able to find a really competitive price and all offer the same itinerary as this is organized by the people who own the Bedouin tent. We were already in Sharm when we enquired to book, we ended up choosing Sharm Wonders (see separate review) as they were friendly and professional and gave us an excellent price.
