Sharm el-Sheikh, often known simply as "Sharm", is a city situated on the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula, in Janub Sina', Egypt, on the coastal strip between the Red Sea and Mount Sinai.
It is known mostly for its large tourist resorts (most major hotel chains have big all-inclusive resorts there) and its comprehensive watersports possibilities, mostly scuba diving. Situated right next to the Ras Mohammed National Park, it has a great diversity in underwater life.

On July 23, 2005, the city was struck by terrorist attacks. In total, 88 people were killed, including foreign tourists. The attacks are believed to have been carried out by a militant Wahabbi group. Following these events, the city is under heavier guard, with special borders checking all (especially Egyptian) people entering the city, to keep the city an attractive destination for tourists.

1st full day in Egypt

Aug 13, 2007 - Aug 18, 2007
This was our last full day in Egypt, and how better to spend it out on the water seeing some of the worlds best coral reefs? We boarded our boat and made it a few hundred years off shore and already we had to police on us wanting to do a passport check. Eventually we were on our way to our first reef. The diver who was to swim with us gave a lecture about the corals and the fish. I already knew many of them as I am a saltwater aquariumist. When we finally landed at our first reef I was one ...

Chilax by the Red Sea

Welcome to Sharm el Sheik. A purpose built holiday resort on the Sinai peninsular in the middle of the desert on the Red Sea and 6 hours drive from Cairo. Sharm is a stunning place to visit. It is a place of extremes. On the one side is the Sinai desert called Sinai due to the triangular shape of the rugged desert mountains. On the other side the Red Sea called such due to the Red Corals and the Red reflection from the desert mountains that occurs certain times of the year.

You can't be bored in Sharm. Although it is a place built only for tourist, there are so many things and occasion to do. There are so many beautiful coral reefs, sun is shining so intensive and tradesmen shout so loud. It is only 15 min to Naama Bay, the shopping district and another 15 min to Old Sharm Market, the real Egiptian street market, where you can buy everything: papiruses, fruits, little cat's and faraon's stautues, musicial instruments, scarfs, perfumes, jewell...
