Egypt — 9 Hotels Reviewed

Best Hotels in
Sharm El Sheikh

Sharm El Sheikh sits at the tip of the Sinai Peninsula where the Red Sea's most spectacular coral gardens lie just offshore — Ras Mohammed, the Tiran Straits, and the Blue Hole at Dahab nearby are world-legendary dive sites. The resort city itself is polarising: Naama Bay's pedestrianised resort strip is the epicentre of package tourism, while the quieter Ras Nasrani and Sharks Bay areas offer a more serene Red Sea experience. For diving, the setting is unmatched anywhere in the Mediterranean world.
