Sharm El Sheikh Vacation Guide
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 water sports 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.

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 re…
