If you're looking for a beautiful diving location for your scuba diving holiday you'd be hard-pressed to find a better spot in the world than the warm waters surrounding Sharm el Sheikh, a resort port town at the edge of the Sinai Peninsula. From Sharm el Sheikh you can dive Ras Mohammed, Ras Umm Sid, the Straits of Tiran, and explore sunken wrecks like the Thistlegorm and the Dunraven. Sharm el Sheikh's region boasts some of the best corral reefs in the world, and dive locations such as Shark Reef and Yolanda Reef are amongst the finest in the world.

Egyptian Sharm el Sheikh offers the traveler plenty to do after a fun day in the water, and whether you would rather hang out in the lounge (or by the pool) of one of the Sharm el Sheikh hotels, beautiful resort rest spots like the Baron Resort Hotel in Sharm el Sheikh or the Four Seasons Resort Hotel in Sharm el Sheikh, you'll be more than pleased with the food, the hospitality, and the atmosphere.

Scuba diving is just one the many great pleasurable pastimes you can occupy yourself in Sharm el Sheikh, but not the only one. If underwater exploration isn't your thing, then take some time visiting some of the European-style markets, or suntanning on the beach. Whatever you decide to do, whether it's a camel ride through the desert, or a visit to St. Catherine's Monastery, you'll enjoy your stay in Egypt's Sharm el Sheikh.
