7 days in Sharm El Sheikh Itinerary

An enviable location on the southern end of the Sinai Peninsula and year-round warm weather boost tourism in Sharm El Sheikh and make it one of Egypt's premier travel destinations.

Your inner history buff will appreciate St. Catherine's Monastery and Mount Sinai. Relax by the water at Na'ama Bay and Mangrove Beach. Change things up with these side-trips from Sharm El Sheikh: Hurghada (Swim with Dolphins, Mosque El Mina Masjid, & more) and Scuba & Snorkeling (in Dahab). There's lots more to do: pause for some serene contemplation at The Heavenly Cathedral, kick back and relax at Ras Um Sid, buy something for everyone on your list at SOHO Square, and contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Coptic Church.
