Welcome to Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt's premier red sea resort.
For several years the warm climate, sandy beaches and crystal clear waters have been enticing holidaymakers from around the world.  As well as being a world-class dive destination, Sharm El Sheikh boasts an array of accommodation choices from budget hotels to luxury resorts. 
5* hotel chains such as Four Seasons, Ritz Carlton and Hyatt Regency all have properties to offer, which have wowed even the most discerning travellers with their outstanding service and fine cuisine.
For those seeking extra value; the ever expanding range of ‘all-inclusive' resorts provide both value for money and quality that put most other worldwide destinations in the shade.
Naama Bay is Sharm's tourist centre, which is easily accessible from most hotels via regular courtesy bus services or taxi. Here you will find a good selection of souvenir shops, bars, restaurants, and popular favourites such as Hard Rock Café, Buddha Bar, and Pacha.
Nabq bay is an ‘up and coming' area of Sharm with new villa developments offering overseas property investment potential, designer shopping outlets, and more superb hotel resorts.
Sharm El Sheikh is one of the most accessible resorts in Egypt from the UK, with weekly services from most major airports.

FOUR SEASONS HOTEL
Sharm El Sheikh is a world class holiday destination with almost every major hotel chain in the world and a cosmopolitan population of “Sharmers” who are making it their home. Sharm has developed from a small Bedouin settlement into a leading tourist destination; it is extremely popular because of its proximity and airline services to major European capitals, the year round sunshine, not forgetting the world famous coral reefs and diverse marine life
Sharm El Sheikh stretches for about 35 km and has a protected national park at each end the coastline. These parks are protected and have helped to ensure that Sharm remains an international centre for deep-sea fishing, swimming, and above all snorkeling and diving. In recent years there has been an increase number of resorts being built with apartments, duplex and villas for sale, and the laws have been changed to accommodate foreigners purchasing real estate at attractive prices.
