Sharm El Sheikh lies at the southern tip of Egypt's Sinai Peninsula. With Mount Sinai on one side, overlooking the exquisite waters of the Red Sea on the other side. Sharm El Sheikh is one of the most accessible and developed tourist resort communities of the Red Sea. A world-renowned diving site, Sharm El Sheikh, with its crystal-clear blue waters and lovely reefs, is a divers paradise. A wide range of local and multinational hotel chains are situated around Sharm El Sheikh bays, specifically Na'ama Bay with its famous beaches, restaurants and nightspots, but the little town of Sharm El Sheikh itself, 7 km south of the tourist center, is well worth an evening visit for a taste of real Egypt.
