Welcome
to Sharm el Sheikh |
|
| WELCOME |
Sharm El Sheikh lies at the southern tip of the Sinai peninsula,
where the desert merges with the beautifully clear waters of the
Red Sea, and is made up of a series of small resorts. Naama
Bay is the main resort, with hotels, restaurants, shops
and bars, plus dive centers overlooking the sandy, gently shelving
beach. To the north, the areas of Ras Nasrani
and Nabq Bay are more peaceful and slowly developing,
while to the south, Ras Um Sid and Old
Sharm are only a short ride from Naama Bay. |
