El Bells - Blue Hole

Mentioned on 
2 lists 
Swimming pool
Nature & Parks
El Bells - Blue Hole is a renowned dive site located 8km north of Dahab, Egypt. The Blue Hole is a striking sinkhole that plunges straight down, possibly reaching depths of 130m. While experienced technical divers can explore the deeper sections, there's plenty to see near the surface with abundant marine life around the outer lip. Snorkeling and diving are accessible from El Bells without harming the reef, thanks to a mini-canyon nearby.
Simply serenity. Great calm warm blue waters. Nice servers but not much to offer in this secluded spot. Not easy to get to. Bumpy road then a boat ride then another bumpy ride.
Ahmad A — Google review
Perhaps this «El Bells» is hyped/praised too much? Too much mystic about it? The "chimney" turns out to be a deep vertical crack in the dropping wall, leading downward to 30+ meters. It is open out to the sea all the way, so you practically don't swim in a «chimney» such many have thought it should be.

One of the most beautiful places in the world for diving and snorkeling.
Yossi E — Google review
I like when I dive through the tunnel. It takes around 3 minutes from the surface to the exit of El bells. You need to keep equalise as it go deep directly. But it’s not that scaring and difficult. Just very narrow. Be careful not to break anything. When you exit, you will dive follow the cliff to Blue hole. If the weather is good, that part is so beautiful! I have no photo and videos as I lost Osmo4 at here. Hope you to find mine! Lol

Try hiking the mountains next to the fast boat meeting point. The view is magical up there. Taking a fast boat to Abu Galoum from here is very unorganized, its not safe for pregnant women, children or anyone with back problems. It costs EGP 120 per person for two-way trip to Abu Galoum excluding car rides.
Passant E — Google review
Just before the boats to Abu Galoum, there are some wooden posts: that's the bells. Here you can enter for snorkeling/diving to the Blue Hole, without destroying the reef, as there is a mini-canyon. When you look down, it's really deep right away, its great. From here you can follow the reef up to where it slopes down, where you go over the reef into the blue hole, which you can exit at the stairs. The reef here is probably even nicer than the actual blue hole.

Dahab Safari Day Tours

Mentioned on

Tour agency
Sights & Landmarks
Historic Sites
Dahab Safari Day Tours is a reliable and professional tour operator in Dahab, Egypt. The company offers well-organized and enjoyable tours at competitive prices. The staff, particularly Ahmed, is known for their professionalism and excellent English-speaking skills. One of the popular tours includes a visit to Mount Sinai and Saint Catherine with knowledgeable guides who provide insightful information about Egyptian history. Additionally, the tour to Petra in Jordan is described as an unforgettable experience that's worth the journey and cost.
After walking up and down the strip and getting an idea on pricing, I came across Dahab Safari Day Tours and was introduced to Ahmed. He was always able to get me the best price on all the tours I wanted to do. Compared to some other cowboys nearby, Ahmed was professional and spoke with perfect English. Every tour I booked with him was well organised and great fun. He even sorted me a competitive taxi ride to the airport and when I lost my phone, was able to coordinate its return. What a life saver!

I was alone 2 days with my beduin guide, Selmi in the Shinai desert, near the White Canyon. Originally I wanted it to be 3 days, but due to technical issues with my bus I couldn't make it in time. Dahab Safari was kind and flexible enough to let me do the remaining 2 days. They quickly converted the 3 days safari to a 2 days safari and said they just want me to have a nice experience. I did have a very good experience, I wanted to have a glimps of an authentic beduin life for a few days and Selmi, my beduin guide did a fantastic job showing it to me. He also showed some beautiful places, cooked and made delicious beduin tea for me. I never felt insecure for a second, from the beginning I felt I can trust the drivers and Selmi too. For some people this might be a bit too much, so I would recommend this for hikers, and who has at least a normal fitness level. I think Dahab Safari may also offer smoother tours too. I can guarantee that those, who like adventures will have a wonderful time! Thank you Selmi, and thank you Dahab Safari, I would give you more than 5 stars if I could! 🙂

Dahab Tours staff are very helpful and accommodating!! They have the best customer service! They rescheduled my trip a couple of times, and were all very nice about it. I appreciated it very much! The submarine excursion was absolutely fantastic! What an experience to see beautiful corals and fish. Also the sea floor! Highly recommend the company and the trip to anyone!

Had a few very good experiences! Mohamed is friendly and very helpfull to plan the right trips. I did a quadbike trip, camel trip, and went to the White Canyon. The guides are professional and can tell a lot about the locations.

This tour provider is disturbingly unprofessional and dangerously unprepared for emergency situations. One of the women on this unguided "guided tour" of Saint Catherine broke her foot and there was nobody around to take responsibility. Don't risk your life with this irresponsible company.

We have three tours with them and they only messed up with one. They forgot to pick us up but we managed not to miss the boat.
KB W — Google review
Visited Mount Sinai and Saint Catherine, with Jimmy as my tour guide. He did a wonderful job explaining Egyptian history to me. He was extremely helpful, assisting me during my mountain climb as I struggle with anxiety. This was a culturally immersive tour, prepare to learn and grow. Please be in relatively good shape prior to touring or climbing the mountain. Yes, they have camels, but not for the entire mountain trip. I visited from the United States. The cultural differences were challenging for me, and if you are a picky eater or have dietary restrictions, bring your own food. For those who struggle with debilitating anxiety, it may not be advisable to go.
Tyron H — Google review
Did 2 tours with them. Petra Day trip and Sunrise Mount Sinai Hike/Saint Catherine Monastery Tours. The staff were friendly and helpful. Both trips went relatively well. Giving 2 stars because I realize that I paid double the price compared to what some other foreign travelers paid for the Mount Sinai hike. Understand that some tour agencies charge higher prices but this difference was much to be ignored.

Saint Catherine's Monastery

Mentioned on 
3 lists 
Church
Sights & Landmarks
Saint Catherine's Monastery is a Greek Orthodox monastery located in the Sinai Peninsula, with a history dating back to around AD 330. It was initially built as a small chapel and refuge for hermits near the burning bush where God spoke to Moses. Today, it is one of the oldest functioning monastic communities globally and houses an extensive library with ancient manuscripts, a church adorned with icons, and a serene garden.
The world's oldest continuously inhabited Christian monastery tells the tale of the whole world, not only christians. The monastery was built by the Byzantine Emperor Justinian I, enclosing what is claimed to be the burning bush seen by Moses. Centuries later, the believed body of Saint Catherine of Alexandria, was taken to the monastery. Ages of history and religion, all in one place. This is a must!
Bogdan B — Google review
A hidden marvel. The monastery opens only for one hour per day and limits the access to the Burning Bush, the church and the well. There's also a collection of old icons but it was closed on the day of our visit. There is also a small shop with icons, candles and so on. We could take pictures everywhere except for the church. Combined with climbing Sinai mountain, the monastery is a one the rare and unique experiences worth doing.
Edward S — Google review
The trip from Sharm el-Sheikh to the monastery was wonderful. Unfortunately, when we arrived, the museum with the icons, which is the most interesting part of the site, was closed, and there was no advance notice. Penso che non sia una cosa corretta, pullman di persone che arrivano e poi trovano il museo con le icone chiuso. We ended up wasting our time there. The monastery and church are beautiful, however.

Visited this Monastery after we completed Moses Mountain hike. The building is truly unique and historical. Located at foothill of Moses Mountain. Amaze upon seeing the burning bush 3000 years old tree. Also the Moses well, you can drink the water too. There is a mosque inside too but not in use. Many old manuscript too. Plenty olive trees surrounding the compound.

Jabal Mousa

Mentioned on 
2 lists 
Mountain peak
Nature & Parks
Jabal Mousa, also known as Mount Sinai or Gebel Musa, is a revered natural reserve with rich biodiversity and archaeological ruins. It holds great religious significance for Christians, Muslims, and Jews who believe that Moses received the Ten Commandments at its summit. The mountain offers a beautiful and relatively easy climb, providing a glimpse into biblical times for pilgrims. Hikers are required to be accompanied by local Bedouin guides.
A Life-Changing Experience at Mount Sinai Climbing Mount Sinai was truly one of the most incredible experiences of my life. The journey is both physically challenging and spiritually uplifting, offering a deep connection to nature and history. Starting the hike under a breathtaking blanket of stars, the peaceful silence of the desert night feels almost sacred. The Bedouin guides were exceptional—kind, knowledgeable, and attentive to everyone’s needs. Along the way, the small stops to enjoy tea or coffee at the Bedouin huts made the trek even more memorable, adding warmth and local charm to the experience. Reaching the summit just before sunrise was beyond words. Watching the first light break over the vast, rugged mountains was not only stunning but deeply moving—a moment of pure awe and gratitude. On the way back, visiting St. Catherine’s Monastery added another layer of wonder to the trip. The history, the Burning Bush, and the quiet reverence of the monastery made it clear why this area is such a spiritual landmark. I’m so grateful to have been healthy and strong enough to complete this journey. It’s not just a hike—it’s an unforgettable adventure that leaves you with a sense of peace, accomplishment, and connection. If you’re considering it, don’t hesitate. Mount Sinai will leave you changed forever.

It was the most surreal and brilliant sunrise I have ever seen! I climbed Mt Sinai on 11 April 2025. The climb with the Bedouin guide is actually quite easily paced with a number of rest stops on the way. I ascended to the summit in 2.5 hrs (walking a bit faster than what my guide wanted). The 750 steps to the top are a pleasant challenge. The summit was freezing (3°C / 37°F) and it was a bit windy, too. I strongly advise you rent of one of those big blankets from the rest stop near the summit. The sunrise was magnificent. I cannot explain it. Mystical! Magical. Divine! *****

What a privilege to go up Mount Sinai. It was a joy, and, for those used to hikes or treks, a easy way up. We had a Bedouin guide who was nice and helpful. And what a sunrise! For those who can, please experience this. For those of us who are from cities, to see a sight such as this is very good for the soul.

This place is one of the most important spots on Earth that you must visit once in a lifetime if you are interested in history,eligion, antrophology ,or you simpy want to see unforgetable stunning biblical sunrise...the path is long and rocky,but worth the effort (Photos by Sebastian Galion)
Mila B — Google review
An unique experience, which I will never forget! The ascent started at around 1:30am and at 5:00am the first pictures of the sunrise on the top of Mount Sinai were taken. Unlike most of the others, I didn't manage to reach the top, unfortunately. At the stopping place where the camels finished climbing, I stopped too... somewhere at around 2000 m. That night I think I was the only one who abandoned the climb. I also know why, that's why I have some advice for those who... are of an age... (60+), who don't have the best physical condition or maybe even, in their strong desire to achieve this ascent, forget that they have some medical circumstances that, with such physical effort, could become active and prevent them from fulfilling their dream. Now I know where and why I failed, and next time I will do it differently: I will pay the price to climb up to 2000m by camel... (why didn't I do that now? I thought I could do it, even if I went slower); I will conserve my energy for the remaining 285m, the last part of the ascent, with the 750 steps, in front of which I have now given up; I will enjoy all the splendor of the night in an unique landscape - this stone desert with lofty heights that pierce the darkness of the night in the light of the moon and stars, I will let myself be veiled by the high energy of this unique, mystic place, instead of slowly falling prey to a painful physical exhaustion that has taken over my entire being, ... I will wander with my gaze over the starry sky, instead of keeping my eyes on the ground more, following the playful light of the flashlight that would reveal to me where I could step more safely... The ascent was made at a sustained pace, which I could not keep up... that's it.. when you have 5-6 comrades from the UN troops in the team, I don't think it could have been otherwise... Finally,... I hope God will help me to come back... the sooner, the better!

The world's best holy mountains, an eternal Landmark and one of the holiest places in Christianity, Judaism and Islam. A mountain facing the sky. A spiritual attraction known as the place where Moses received the Ten Commandments. It was such a hard road that I wanted to give up, but the view from the top made all the effort worthwhile. I felt like I was holding out for this moment. It was my first experience hiking such a mountain, and it was harder than I expected! You'll need to bring a lot of snacks, water, dates and water. You'll find places to rest and take your breaths so don't miss them, and always follow your guide. A life time experience that I won't forget.

For sure it was a memorable experience. Breath taking views. The element of surprise when you climb at night, and at sunrise you begin to see all the beauty around you. Take with you comfortable shoes special for long distance. At the top of the mountain when you wait for the sunrise is cold, so bring with you warm clothes and enjoy. The way there took 3-4 hours, and back 2-3 hours.
Nicoleta J — Google review
Great experience seeing the sun rise at the summit. If you're planning to do this, keep in mind it is a mountain, and although the trail is straightforward, you'll have to ascend 2000ft at night sp careful consideration of footwear and clothing. Whilst you're walking, you'll be warm but as soon as you stop for a while (especially at the top) it will be cold so take warm clothing. You can hire blankets for 150 Egyptian pounds at the top.

Pickalbatros Royal Moderna Resort - Sharm El Sheikh

Resort hotel
Spas & Wellness
Upscale all-inclusive resort with a gym, outdoor pools & a water park, plus a spa & a private beach.
First of all, I would like to thank Mr. Ahmet from the reservation department. He welcomed us with a warm smile and did his best to make sure we got to our room quickly. The service, room cleanliness, and hotel location were truly perfect. All the staff were very polite and always smiling. Would I come back again? Definitely yes! 🌟 I only have one small suggestion: it would be wonderful if more Turkish dishes were included on the menu to suit the taste of Turkish guests. That would make everything absolutely flawless.

I had a very enjoyable stay at this hotel. The hotel was massive and had plenty of space to do things. The pool was amazing was always nice to go in especially with the hot weather we had. The sun bed area was always easy to get a bed in the mornings for the day which helped us settle in the daytime. The food choice was always great throughout the day with plenty to choose from to get you through the day and the evening. The room was a great size with the beds being comfortable with a brilliant view from the balcony of the pool outside. The entertainment team was great during my time here and were always willing to have a chat and a laugh with me. I'd give a big mention to Kara who was amazing with her always having a smile on her face and making the mood feel good even if I had a bad day. Our last night she invited me and my best friend to the Hard rock cafe and it was an amazing time. Definitely will look to come back to this hotel in future, thank you everyone for making my stay a memorable one.

Our family had an absolutely wonderful stay. The hotel facilities are huge and so well-maintained, which was ideal for our family. The variety of pools meant there was something for everyone, from the kids' splash area, to the quieter adult pools. The entertainment team was amazing, providing fantastic, engaging activities for the children all day long. Furthermore, the staff were incredibly helpful and attentive to our family's needs. We couldn't have asked for a better holiday!

Overall, our family had a great holiday in this resort. Several positive points; staff is super nice, always helpful and efficient (everything is very clean, great service at the restaurant, plenty of lifeguards around the pools). The beach was great; you can either chill in the shallow part or go to the end of the jetty for snorkeling to see the coral reef. Food was outstanding with 4 restaurants to choose from and most of it delicious. Unbelievable how they manage this for such a big resort... We were unlucky for our first room but changing was not a hassle and our second room was great although you can hear the loud evening show music until 10pm. Main negative draw back was our experience with management/reception. Long story short, our reservation was done via a russian agency (family of my wife) but I have a belgian passport and our family lives in Belgium. Upon arrival, I was explained that I had to pay "the Belgian price", simply because of my passport. This was a 300 dollar extra to what was already paid and I wouldn't get my key unless it was settle. All this at 4am with tired kids after a day of travelling. Very unprofessional and purely discriminatory.

The hotel is great, very large in area with many pools, aquapark and various entertainment. It is very suitable for families with children. The rooms are spacious and very clean, the food is varied and delicious. The staff is very friendly and has a sense of humor. The show program is good and different every day. The beach is incredible, with a very long pontoon, you can go down to 3 places. It is not deep and there is a wide variety of fish. At the end of the pontoon there is a coral reef, which is very beautiful. They have life jackets.

The resort is smaller than many of the other 5 stars hotels, has fewer pools however the kids aqua is very nice. Its a great option for families with kids but not at all for adults or couples. The rooms are old and broken items might be found however they are good overall. Food is good and has many options but repeated every day. The snacks on the pool and the beach is very very limited not comparable to other 5 stars resorts. The activities are so good including the aqua gym and the night kids disco, but the shows are boring, very boring. The staff lack good hospitality and customer service ethics, they rarely smile, some of them made fun of the guests. Thats definitely not a 5 stars level. The most terrible part is that people steal stuff and Im not sure if they have recorded cams, Our pool towel has been taken from the seat and our room chairs have been taken away in the middle of the day! I won’t feel safe leaving anything in the room. Overall the experience equals 4 stars and doesnt worth the money paid, web have tried sunrise group, Jaz and charmillion, way better, thiz resort reminds me with another one called seabeach which is 4 stars but much more better night shows and animation ove there.

Back for our 26th trip. That should say it all. We are never disappointed coming here, and this was no exception. From the minute we walked in the door, to the minute we left after 10 days, we were looked after superbly. Great room, amazing food, spotlessly clean, and runs incredibly efficiently. You simply cannot complain, due to the excellent value for money you get. And special thanks as always, to the staff, especially Mostafa Rabiea in the Culina, John George on Reception, Osama, Waleed, Whafy & Mohammed, from the pool bars, El Sayeed the Egg Man, Mohammed in the Columbus, and everyone else who looked after us so well, and made our stay so enjoyable. Can’t wait to come back to our second home, again soon. Thank you all!

I’m so glad I chose Sharm Smile service for a trip from sharm el sheikh to Saint Catherine Monastery & Dahab with my family. Even though we didn’t have a tour guide since it turned to be private trip because cancelled/rescheduled their trip, the trip was fabulous. Having no tour guide didn’t bother me as I already know the history of the place and explained everything to my family which enjoyed a lot. Thanks to our driver Mohamed and thank you so much Mr Nabil for your follow up with me to make sure everything is ok. A s an Egyptian I know that you may have experienced some issues with tourism agencies but Sharm Smile is on different level as they are so professional and honest and they really care a lot.

Lovely evening spent with a passionate about his work guide. Nabil made our evening fun and interesting showing us all the important sights around Sharm el Sheikh. Thanks for good time.
Michelle — Google review
We visited St Catherine Monastery with a private car, driver and Nabil as our guide. Passage through the many checkpoints was a breeze and the 3h roadtrip was cut up in very managable chunks by stopping for a roadside coffee on the way up and lunch and a mini citytrip to Dahab on the way back. Nabil is more than a guide, everywhere he goes, monastery or city, one out of three locals walks up to shake hands and greet him. He's very modest on the subject, but you can really feel he knows the land and his way around. He also has a wide general knwoledge about Egypt, religion and history in general, which makes for great conversations on the long and windy roads between the visits! Communication beforehand and for pickup was very smooth through WhatsApp. Very recommended!
Philip D — Google review
Lead by guide, Nabil, with our careful driver Abrahaim, this was a fantastic tour of St Catherine’s Monastery and Dahab. Nabil is very knowledgeable about the Sinai Peninsula, its history and its people; along with the monastery, its history and the artifacts in the transfiguration church, the library and the icon gallery. He is also patient, respectful and gives you enough time to view things on your own and help you take pictures, when allowed. You’ll also have a great lunch at Ali Baba in Dahab.
Danielle L — Google review
We had the wonderful opportunity to use the services of Sharm Smile tour services when we visited Sharm el sheikh in August. Due to illness I had to originally cancel and reschedule but Nabil was ultra helpful and made rebooking easier. The Bedouin desert tour was not only unique and beautiful but with the guide's extensive knowledge a pleasurable learning experience. The history of the Bedouins, their culture,traditions and way of life. The camels were very well looked after and the relationship between Bedouin and camel of respect and love. The stargazer portion was short but stunning. Here also, the Bedouin host was deeply knowledgeable about the stars and constellations. I was there with six members of my family and we all came away with a most memorable experience. I will not forget it and recommend Nabil and his wonderful company to everyone. Thank you Nabil!

Good experience overall . Pickup was on time with a clean air con minibus. Safari enclosure was very safe and secure with police presence (like most tourist attractions in Sharm) and the staff were pleasant and helpful. The quad bike was a bit worse for wear and looked abused by previous riders , and icing on the cake was our camel handler was a child around the age of 10 , which for a westerner was… unexpected. Great kid. The drop off back to hotel was very quick also.

We had a fantastic day today doing the sightseeing tour in Sharm with Mohammed as our guide. We were promptly picked up at our hotel by the driver in a lovely vehicle and taken to the old market, where Mohammed gave us a overview of the city and some interesting facts. We had some time to wander around before going on the rest of the tour. We learned so much and we're able to see things we wouldn't have known if we had chosen to wander around the city by ourselves. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

We enjoyed a fabulous trip as a family on the Sharm Smile Tour. We were picked up from our hotel and had WhatsApp communication all the way to let us know where the driver was. Took us straight to the boat where we saw all kinds of fish and amazing coral. The kids were even asked to drive the boat which they loved. Really good value for money and the crew were so helpful and knowledgeable. Highly recommended 5⭐

Dolphina offers a good show that may not be entirely unique, but still enjoyable. The dolphin experience is described as amazing and an opportunity to fulfill a childhood dream. Visitors get to swim with the well-trained and respected dolphins, creating an awe-inspiring experience. However, there are concerns about high prices for photos and some areas being dirty. Despite this, it's considered a great day out with fantastic experiences for both children and adults alike.
Very good value for money. Clean seats to sit on. Good quality dolphin show and tricks. Went to sea world in Abu Dhabi last year and this for the money was a great quality show
Jay P — Google review
It was good show, had one seal and six dolphins. Its clearly visible that some dolphins are better trained but every one of them participate in show. It was not expensive even though as foreigner you pay more than twice of what locals pay but its still ok. As it was about two times cheaper to do it ourselves from what our tour operator priced such excursion.
Marius B — Google review
I took my family here while on holiday, was a great show. Don’t need tickets in advance and no need to over pay to get them from taxi drivers or hotels. There’s also a parrot, flamingos, turtles, sea lions and a monkey to have a picture with. Show is good. One of the trainers is kind of the star of the show and puts the others to shame with his awesome energy. While the pool is a bit small the animals seem well cared for. Sit in the shade as the show is long and outdoors. Music is far louder than it needs to be. Prices for refreshments are reasonable. Well worth the visit.

A visit with children is a must. The dolphins are very well-trained and the show is engaging. The duration is appropriate, and the cost is reasonable.
Marek — Google review
Loved the dolphins and workers who works in there.. We made reservation day before and when we arrived, we got informed that they don't have any info about online reservations that day.. so they can just squeeze us in next free slot, what is more then hour after.. 3 kids ..1 hour.. ok, things happen, but I would think that worker in front would still need to be more apologetic about this situation, and maybe offer even some free photo at the end or something.. We had 30min swimming with Dolphins and I loved every second of it.. Take your own towels with you! We forgot.. :) Then offcourse picture and video selling.. but it was not so bad.. 1picture to put on your phone 7$ and full video 47$.. if you want printed picture.. 11$..

Terrible place, we paid for four for the show and two to swim with dolphins. After the show we were told we couldn't sit, wait and watch while our friends swam with them. The manger came marching over and started shouting at us telling us to get out now and he was going to call the police. Terrible customer service, guy in the photo attached

an activity that leaves you speechless, regardless of age! I recommend it with all confidence. The only disappointment is the price of the pictures, a steal! you can't ask for 100 euros for a few pictures and a video! But that's the policy in Egypt, everything is overpriced. I recommend you go, regardless of age! ♥️✌️

Kite Addicts Sharm Kitesurfing Windsurfing Wakeboarding School Windsurfing Wakeboarding School

Water sports equipment rental service
Tours
Kite Addicts Sharm Kitesurfing Windsurfing Wakeboarding School is a fantastic destination for both beginners and experienced kite surfers. Nestled in the serene Nabq beach, this school offers a spacious beginner area with shallow waters, perfect for learning the ropes without feeling overwhelmed. The environment is relaxed, with only a handful of people on the water at any time, allowing for personalized attention from instructors.
Here I had my first experience with kitesurfing and I am very happy with how it went. The beach on which the course takes place is ideal for beginners, with shallow water for hundreds of meters which greatly facilitates beginners who are approaching this sport for the first time. The instructors are prepared and available, but above all capable of providing targeted advice and adapting the equipment to specific needs and wind conditions, placing customers in ideal conditions, teaching gradually in order to guarantee safety. A definitely satisfying experience and recommended to anyone. I'll be back to see these amazing people!

Hi guys, I found Kiteadditcs online and the prices seemed much more affordable and reasonable compared to many others. After I arrived to Nabq beach Even though there were other schools offered me lower prices and said negative things about kite addict (which I found so unethical, do not believe those type of schools who try to grab you into their schools one of a sudden without you even know) I still took all my training in Kiteaddicts and never regretted. At the beginning I contacted Mr.Tamer who was the owner of the school. I had 3 days and total 10 hours training with Ahmet (my muallim) he was so nice , helpful and patient with me all the time. His English was also clear enough and sufficient to teach. I could not ride on my left direction, I was demotivated and he supported me mentally and finally when I could do it I saw him that he got as happy as I was which touched my heart. So I want to specially thank to him for all efforts he made for me to learn this amazing and cool sport. Now I am capable of going on both directions, I loved the coffee that Ahmed made for me every day during my breaks. I will miss that coffee omg! Thank you team , hope to see you again insAllah 🙏

Highly recommend! The spot is perfect for beginners+ (to do the course OR practice after it). Sandy Beach, flat water, big area, cross shore wind. I took several hours of learning (after my course done elsewhere). Tamer promised I will surf upwind by the end of my stay. And the instructor Ahmed delivered:) he was very attentive gave a lot of feedback and fine tuned my moves. As I spoke with several instructors in process of my beginning, I can say these guys are professional and care for safety, success and having a good time! Everyone on kite addict team are super professional and kind. They have various of equipment, and all of it is maintained in excellent shape! It's comfortable to sit and chill before and after the kitesurf session.

Had great experience with this kitesurfsing school, especially with instructor Tamir. I had a year-long history of attempts to kite in Netherland with my husband, who is proffesional kitesurfer, but it didn't work out. So I came to school with absolute fear to kite and mindset that I wouldn't able to make it. But only in 3 hours (2 sessions due to the wind conditions) I was able to kite! That's amazing!!! Tamir patiently and with simple language and comprehensive examples gave me an understanding of what need to be done. Step by step I was aquiring feeling of the confidence and the skills for independent kiting under supervision of the trainer in the perfect safe controlled environment 👌 I overcome my fear of kite and began kiting!! I wish I started here from the beginning it would eliminate a lot of hassle and stress! So, there is my sincere recommendation to start in this place if you want to actually start kiting, they have all the techniques and trics for beginners and carefully guide you in this journey ❤️ As addition, they have very client oriented service, where you can easily resolve any occurring issue as not fully used time or forgotten stuff. They send us our wetsuit in very short notice as we had flight next day 👌 P.S. They have excellent prices for a quiality provided! also have lovely wake-boarding,you can rent out equipment as independant kiters and they organise rescue missions if need be! So, dear reader, have a nice experience here, It absolutely worth it:)

Tamer is a superb teacher and most importantly, a fantastic coach— he takes a personal interest in helping you succeed. I was frustrated with another kite surfing school instruction for beginner kite surfing course and met Tamer who showed me what I needed to know to get over my being stuck with the lack of care from the other school. He immediately took me under his wing and while we fine tuned most of the kite control and there was not enough wind to get up on the board, so instead, he took his speed boat out with a kite surfing board and got me to simulate getting up— what a great innovative idea! Within minutes he got me wakeboarding!!— what a thrilling experience. I am now back on track with my kite surfing journey and ready for the next level. Amazing and encouraging instructor and runs a great water sports school at Kite Addicts which is set in an ideal coral lagoon in Nabq Bay with safe knee to waist deep water and soft sand. I’ve been coming back regularly for the past 2 years. Just an amazing experience and you need to meet Tamer if you’re looking to learn.

I’ve had lessons 5 years before in the Netherlands, never finished the full course. Explained my situation and got a very quick and honest response. Did a refresher course of 3h and the next day I was able to kite solo and got an IKO license. Amazing experience. Very quick response, clear communication. Very friendly people, good lessons and good service. Would definitely recommend!

We rode to the station for a week. Used kite storage. The beginner kite area is a square of shallow water between the piers 300 meters by 300 meters. Usually occupied by students with instructors up to 5 pairs and 2-3 more beginner kiters. Further, deep water begins almost 600 meters to the reef. It's nice that there are not many people on the water - there have never been more than 10-12 people. The wind blows from early morning until 12-13. It's great that the station is open from 7-30 am! The station has a good storage room, shower, toilet, desalination of equipment, a good seating area and chillout. You can wash and dry your kite in a green meadow on the last day before departure. There is no set of attachments for different kites on the compressor rod, as is usually customary, but just a piece of rubber hose that is put on the rod. Therefore, the pumping of the kite takes a long time, it is difficult to pump up to normal pressure without the necessary skill. There is no WIFI, tea or just drinking water at the station, which is also a regular service. The beach boys helping to land and raise the kite are loaded. Sometimes you have to stand with the kite for 1-2 minutes near the shore until you are noticed and planted. In general, we rode great! Thanks!

Good place to start kiteboarding for beginners, wide beach, shallow water. Tamer is pleasant and friendly instructor, he cares a lot for safety and he teach how to act in different situation what can be with you in future, not only to stand up on the board. No “tension” and everything will be ok

Highly recommended hotel – not only for the beautiful setting, but also for the amazing team that makes you feel at home. I will definitely come back!

We stayed at this hotel for four nights in a family room, which actually consisted of two separate rooms, each with its own bathroom, offering both comfort and privacy while letting us stay together under the same roof. The spaces were great, and there were plenty of activities to enjoy. The only thing that could have been better was the room cleaning upon arrival — we had to wait an extra hour past the expected check-in time. The hotel has everything you need and more. The restaurant service was excellent — great variety (never repetitive) and really tasty food! We also appreciated that the hotel provides its own shuttle service. The staff were always friendly. Special thanks to Katty and Ahmed, from the reception, for making sure we enjoyed our stay as much as possible. If we ever come back to Sharm, we’ll definitely consider this hotel again!

This hotel was absolutely amazing. And here are my reasons why: - I have never experienced so friendly staff before. - The hygiene was superb and you could see how much effort they put for keeping the quality so high. - The kids pool was extremely big with great slides and also a "beach" that was superb for the kids to play in. - The hotel is seperated in two sections, a north and south area where they have their own bus (super friendly driver) that regularly takes you around the hotel. - The beach area was superb with amazing water for snorkeling. - Great location where SOHO square is just a 5 minutes walk from the hotel. I can highly recommend this great hotel ✨🏆

I had a wonderful stay at DoubleTree by Hilton Sharm El Sheikh. The atmosphere was relaxing, the staff were friendly, and the service was excellent. I especially want to thank Chef Abd Elamid Sayed, who made my experience truly special. He was incredibly helpful, generous, and attentive, always ensuring that every meal was perfect and that guests felt well taken care of. His kindness and professionalism left a great impression, and the food he prepared was absolutely delicious. He took good care of my niece by bringing her baby food when she needed it. I truly appreciate his effort and hospitality, he represents the heart of what makes this hotel so welcoming. I’ll definitely come back again!

My stay at DoubleTree by Hilton Sharm El Sheikh was truly wonderful from start to finish. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm smiles. The staff at the restaurants were attentive and always went out of their way to make sure guests were happy. I had a ground-floor room which was super convenient and opened right out to the pool-perfect for morning swims. The room was clean, comfortable and well kept. Housekeeping did an excellent job keeping everything spotless, and the bed was incredibly cozy . The buffet offered a wide variety of options every day. There was a lot of  activities and entertainment — from snorkeling and pingpong, tennis etc to the evening shows, there was always something fun to do. The animation team deserves a special mention for their energy and friendliness! Most of all, the staff made my stay memorable. Everyone, from reception to the bar and housekeeping, was polite, professional, and genuinely kind. They truly make you feel like a valued guest. In short, DoubleTree by Hilton Sharm El Sheikh is the perfect mix of comfort, service, and relaxation. Whether you’re traveling as a couple, family, or solo, it’s an excellent choice for a stress-free and enjoyable Red Sea getaway. I can’t wait to return!

There is BEAUTIFUL coral reef just at the beach of the Double tree. And I suppose those who come to Sharm mostly come here in the sake of reef (as there plenty other nice beaches around the world)) so we supposed to spent most days at the beach, snorkling, sunbathing. But there was not a pleasant surprise: to get a sunchair you have to take it at 7am ) because there are too many people at the hotel and not enough space and equipment at the beach. So those who really want, have to wake up earlier than the other. If you want just eat and spend time at the swimming pool, probably you'll kike this hotel. Animation team is also unbelievably bad 👎🏻 they don't care at all. They just do smth as a formality. all evening entertainments look rather boring (even when live duet were singing latina music, all the public were just sitting at the chairs 🤷🏻‍♀️) of course that's the "problem" of public too, but good animation team can make "festival" out of any event )) especially when dealing with people who are ralaxed on vacation. The territory of the hotel is beautifull. The room cleaning is perfect 👌🏻the food is good. The personnel is friendly and helpfull. One little thing about the restaurant of the mountain side: some people like to seat outside, but there is just one door open, so you have to make a big sircle to bring your food and drinks outside, it's very inconvenient. Though there are at least 2 or 3 more doors, which lead from restaurant to the "terrace" and those doors could shorten the way significantly) but those doors were locked all the time for some unknown reason.

We had started in a room which wasn’t suitable for us, so had to get reception to change our rooms closer to the hotel as we were 2 girls on holiday ourselves! And bahii had us a change of rooms the next day, we felt it was a lot better and we weren’t in the ground floor! All the staff were fantastic and helpful especially bahii, hany, hassan (snack pool bar) and khalisd from the Olympic bar! They went above and beyond to make sure that we felt safe and had a good time! We had great time with the entertainment team too asma is absolutely fantastic x thank you for a great 1st time for me in Egypt and my friends 3rd time we will definitely be back. Xx

The rooms are okay but nothing special. The whole hotel feels very dated and the “entertainment” in the evenings is tacky. The food provided in the buffet restaurant is awful, especially the breakfast which is disgusting. There are two other restaurants onsite but you need to pay for these, however they were both very nice compared to the buffet. On top of this, when you checkout they let you keep the all inclusive wrist bands however they make you pay for everything. All of a sudden the lunch in the buffet cost £25, and this is for food I wouldn’t pay anymore than £2 for. The service was good in the restaurants and bars, with the captain in the beachside buffet being exceptional. Overall I would not want to come to this hotel again.

Tiran Island is an uninhabited military island spanning 31 square miles, located in a narrow strait surrounded by coral reefs and dive sites. The island forms part of Ras Mohammed National Park, covering an area of 80 square kilometers. Although daily boat trips from Sharm-El Sheikh are available, the island remains deserted and inspires solitude. Snorkeling spots abound around the island and most tours cover these areas.
Tiran Island: A Jewel in the Red Sea Crown Nestled at the entrance of the Strait of Tiran, where the azure waters of the Red Sea meet the Gulf of Aqaba, lies the enchanting Tiran Island. This sun-kissed gem, once administered by Egypt and now under Saudi Arabian sovereignty, beckons travelers with promises of adventure, marine wonders, and historical intrigue. A Maritime Crossroads Tiran Island’s strategic significance transcends its modest size—an area of approximately 80 square kilometers. It forms the narrowest section of the Strait of Tiran, a vital sea passage connecting the bustling port of Aqaba in Jordan to the vibrant city of Eilat in Israel. Here, ancient trade routes converged, and modern vessels sail, weaving a tapestry of commerce and culture. A Diver’s Paradise For scuba enthusiasts, Tiran Island is a sanctuary. Beneath its crystalline surface lies a kaleidoscope of marine life—vibrant corals, elusive seahorses, and schools of tropical fish. Dive into the embrace of the Red Sea, and you’ll encounter the Jackson Reef, the Woodhouse Reef, and the Thomas Reef—each a living canvas of color and movement. The currents dance, revealing shipwrecks and secrets from centuries past. The Ghosts of History Tiran Island’s past echoes through time. During the Suez Crisis, it briefly fell into Israeli hands, and from 1967 to 1982, it remained under Israeli control after the Six-Day War. The island’s sands have absorbed the footsteps of warriors, traders, and pilgrims—a silent witness to the ebb and flow of empires. A Playground for Water Adventurers Whether you’re snorkeling, windsurfing, or sailing, Tiran Island invites you to explore its shores. Glide over coral gardens, where parrotfish dart and angelfish pirouette. Feel the wind in your hair as you windsurf across the turquoise expanse. And when the sun dips below the horizon, gather around a beachside fire, sharing tales of the day’s exploits. Chisholm Point: Where Land Meets Sea At Chisholm Point, the island’s rocky cape, you’ll witness the union of earth and water. Here, the waves caress ancient stones, and seabirds wheel overhead. As the sun paints the sky in hues of gold and crimson, you’ll feel the pulse of nature—the heartbeat of Tiran Island. A Journey Through Sovereignty Tiran Island’s fate has been debated, its borders redrawn. In 2017, Egypt officially ceded sovereignty to Saudi Arabia, marking a new chapter in its storied history. Yet, as travelers step ashore, they sense that this island belongs to more than nations—it belongs to the tides, the winds, and the dreams of those who seek its shores. Practical Details Access: Boat excursions from Sharm El Sheikh offer a gateway to Tiran Island. Activities: Snorkel, dive, or simply bask in the sun. Remember: Respect the delicate ecosystem; leave only footprints. As the sun sets over Tiran Island, casting shadows on its ancient rocks, you’ll feel the pull of the sea—a timeless call to explore, to connect, and to cherish this jewel in the Red Sea’s crown. May the waves carry your wanderlust, and may Tiran Island forever enchant. 🌞🤿

This place is amazing it has everything you could want from live shows to dancing water show there is also ice skating and bowling. The shop owner are very polite and do not rip you off the food is very good and not expensive. One place to definitely check out. Is the ice bar which is really good €10 to get in which includes your first drink?. There are lots of statues around the area for you to take your photos with or to take photos of and there's also lots of light. Tunnels to take photos in and lots of little flowers to take trailers off and there is the water show which lights up to the music. There is little mini mall in there as well which is quite good. The security in there as well is very good. You get search before you even get into the Soho which I thought was amazing. Plenty of toilets, places to drink and eat or just take a seat

Very busy and very expensive! £20 that’s English pound for 1 vodka and red bull. The day is very empty as places round there don’t open till 5/6pm so everywhere was shut. It’s a very beautiful place at night. It was nice to visit just for 1 night.

Amazing place well worth the visit. Owners of the shops are very friendly. We went into one that sold herbal teas and spices fragrances. They made us a cup of tea. There was no pressure to go into shops very chilled vibe. We went into the ice bar, -9 bar with drink included, well worth the experience. The only down point was when we went to the Indian restaurant. Was kind of just left at a table. We decided to go to another restaurant outside the ice bar food, was very good reasonably priced and staff very friendly helpful.
Kate L — Google review
Stunningly beautiful at nightime. A lovely place to visit to see the statues, lights, displays and enjoy the atmosphere. We visited a restaurant that produced 4 continental flavours, Egyptian, Chinese, Indian and another. We sat outside and gave our order. Our food was amazing!!! We then decided to visit some of the stores. This for us, became a bit of a stressful time. I do not appreciate being followed and I do not like oversell. I would have purchased more, if I had not felt pressured. Overall, the experience was lovely. But I do not feel the need to go back again after I've seen the beauty, enjoyed my food, but did not enjoy the shopping experience. I have taken off one star due to the shopping.
DM B — Google review
This place is amazing, plenty of places to eat, shop and visit. You will be asked as you walk by to come into the shops and see what's on offer. If you ever go to the mosque you need to be covered as dresses, skirts are not allowed. There will be a place next to the mosque location for you to get dressed in full gown attire. This place is busy with plenty of tourists. Please also be aware of the service charges from restaurants and cafes. Get a heads up on the total cost before ordering any good or beverages and that goes for most places around Sharm.
Taz A — Google review
Overcrowded, overpriced in shops and restaurants, the fountain is nice but the few-minute show is not worth hanging around here. Better visit the old market with the mosque. Order a taxi using inDrive on your mobile.

I actually loved the vibe there. It looked a bit rundown, was noisy and somewhat trashy, and definitely crowded, but that gave it character. I enjoyed being around the locals; it felt like I got to experience the real Egypt, which was a refreshing contrast to my hotel that was packed with tourists.

Nice place for a vacation. ✌🏻 Sure the place is like anything in Sharm El Sheikh expensive and it's easy to pay for a Cola at a Restaurant & Coffee outside 120 LE.... But this is Sharm... So you should plan about this and know about this already before you visit Naama Bay. We enjoyed there a relaxed one week vacation 🙂 Nice Beach ⛱️ with beautiful 🌊 sea as also great Hotels & Clubs as a small City there around.

Sights & Landmarks
Located near the Old Market in Sharm el Sheikh, Al Mustafa Mosque is a stunning example of Hispano-Moorish architecture. Completed in 2008, it replicates the iconic Al-Azhar Mosque in Cairo and is particularly beautiful when illuminated at night. The mosque is surrounded by gardens leading to the Red Sea beach, creating a relaxing atmosphere for visitors.
We went to the Mustafa Mosque and enjoyed our visit. Woman must wear suitable clothes and cover up head to toe. There is a lady that provides Egyptian clothing near the entrance to the Mosque to lend while inside. Would recommend visiting. You’re not allowed in while pray time is taking place.

Part of our tour around the area included a brief visit to this Moque. However, we could only see the outside as we were not allowed inside on this occasion; not sure why as we didn't get an explanation. However, from what I could see, it was an interesting structure, and no doubt if we return, we will make the effort to return for a proper visit.

Very beautiful and humbling experience to see such a monument to Christian and Coptic endurance and solidarity! Hauntingly realistic wall paintings, inscriptions both in Coptic (with Greek alphabet) and Arabic, a nice compound for community gatherings around the Cathedral, with a shop with fixed, fair prices. Do not miss out on this attraction when booking city tours through Sharm el Sheikh!

The Sharm Papyrus Museum offers a unique insight into the ancient Egyptian art of papyrus making. The museum showcases the historical significance of papyrus as a writing material and its use in communicating, teaching, and record-keeping during the times of the Greek and Roman Empires. Visitors can explore a wide selection of papyrus designs, concepts, and pictures while learning about the intricate process behind their creation. The friendly owner provides informative explanations and often goes above and beyond by offering extras after purchase.
A great shop to explore with a tourist-friendly owner, Mr. Hussein. He is humble and welcoming. You can even have a talk about the Ancient Egypt, his profession. Glad to meet him!

This is not a museum but a rather small papyrus shop. However, it’s definitely worth a visit. All the positive reviews here are true. We stumbled upon this place by chance while walking by (it’s slightly off the main street). The shop has an impressive selection of authentic papyrus. Yasir, who works there, is truly passionate about his craft. He shared a lot of interesting information about papyrus production, Egyptian symbols, and more. It was a fascinating conversation and a great experience! Such a contrast to other market vendors, who can often be rude and pushy. Yasir is a polite and knowledgeable person. We ended up buying a small papyrus, even though we hadn’t planned to! But it was entirely our decision—Yasir never pressured us. Thank you, we had a wonderful time. The prices are fixed (there are price tags). Maybe bargaining is possible, but we didn’t even try because the service was so respectful. If you’re looking for a papyrus souvenir, I believe this is the best place in Sharm.

Were very genuine kind people, didn't pressure to go in the shop or even buy anything. The owner talked through the history of the art work. Were very reasonable prices much better than other shops. Gave gifts for free of our names written in Arabic, and Egyptian hieroglyphs. The owner's daughter kindly offered to show us inside the mosque. Is definitely a must to visit, even if you're looking to buy or just to find out the history of the art work!

A Beautiful and Vibrant Experience This mosque is absolutely breathtaking, a must visit! I had the pleasure of meeting some truly lovely people there, which made the experience even more memorable. There’s also a waterfall like feature nearby that’s perfect for photography lovers! The local market is visually stunning and definitely worth strolling through. However, I’d advise against buying anything at the asking price, many items seemed quite overpriced, so be prepared to negotiate or just browse. At night, the area comes alive with energy. It’s vibrant, full of people, and there are plenty of great spots to eat and enjoy the atmosphere.

Old Market & Al Sahaba Mosque – The heart and soul of Sharm 🕌🌙 I travel to Sharm El Sheikh several times a year with my sister, and every time I come here, it feels magical all over again. Egypt is a country that divides opinions — people either love it or they don’t — but to truly enjoy it, you have to understand that it’s a different culture, with its own rhythm, manners, and traditions. Egyptian people are incredibly warm-hearted, always joking, smiling, and helping with genuine kindness. Bargaining is part of the fun — it’s a cultural game, not a trick. If you don’t play along and end up overpaying, it’s not their fault; it’s just part of the experience. The Old Market, with the Al Sahaba Mosque shining at its center, is absolutely breathtaking. Every time I stop there, it feels like the world stands still for a few moments. The lights, the sounds, the energy — all create a sense of timeless beauty. I love it deeply, and it never stops enchanting me. 💛 — Krisztina 🌊 Sharm Local Guide

A good tourist spot. Amazing pictures and videos with a lot of stores to grab many souvenirs for home. You should negotiate prices as they do make them slightly higher but an enjoyable experience. Best time to go is after 4pm. It does get extremely busy and crowded so please be patient. If you do not like crowded small spaces maybe stay away. There are narrow walkways with a lot to see.

We had a nice evening, though we felt quite exhausted by the end as the store owners are very persistent.

Very touristic place with crowds of foreigners as well as locals. They have all kinds of souvenirs and Arabic stuff with very affordable price. Especially the snorkeling gear, only for 400 or 300. It’s definitely worth it buying here considering even the rental costs 150. The view is also great you can lie down in a cafe on the hill and chill, watching the crowd and enjoy the scenery.

(Translated by Google) I was not able to do this tourist activity at night or in the early morning. I did this activity in the morning. The tour was wonderful. Whoever goes to Sharm, I advise him to ride a motorcycle in the Sinai desert. The views are wonderful and the atmosphere is calm. However, I advise tourists to ask about the price of anything before consuming it, otherwise they will pay double.

5 Star is not enough I wish I could leave more! From the first interaction to the last. They met up with us in person the night before and gave us all details required for the trip a head. We was very lucky that we was the only people on the tour also so we had our own private tour. The first driver from our resort to the airport was very welcoming and made us feel comfortable and welcome. We was then welcomed at the airport by another welcoming and friendly man who pointed us in the right direction and gave us more details. When we landed Abdula(I think I’ve got this right sorry if not) was there to greet us and escort us to his car where he welcomed us and had a lovely chat with us and made us feel welcome and comfortable. (As you can imagine being in a country far from home getting into a strangers car could seem very overwhelming and can make you cautious). We then picked up our tour guide Ahmed up who was the best tour guide we’ve ever had. Ahmed had so much knowledge and also made us feel at ease. Ahmed took photos of us and he couldn’t stress enough for us to take our time and take it all in so we wasn’t rushed. He gave us all the best advice to avoid local scammers also which was really helpful as we might’ve fell into the trap. We visited the pyramids, Egyptian museum and we even visited a local art gallery which we didn’t know about which was really interesting to show us how they make local paper and art work through plants, this was so interesting and we even purchased some art work! We stopped off for lunch where once again we wasn’t rushed and Ahmed and Abdula told us to take our time which is so kind as we’ve been on tours before where it feels rushed. During all the tour Ahmed even gave us time to explore our selves and told us not to rush to take everything in and enjoy it. We finished the tour early which to then we was asked if we would like to visit anywhere else in Cairo and they would take us free of charge. This just made the whole experience the perfect day as this is them going really above and beyond. When we got back to Sharm El Sheikh our taxi driver couldn’t have been more welcoming and was asking about our day which was really nice. Just when we thought the experience and service couldn’t get any better the owner of Sharm Wonders even phoned us to see how our day was and if we enjoyed it, honestly little details like that makes the experience perfect and 10/10. Thank you so much to all the drivers, Ahmed, Abdula and Sharm Wonders for making this a perfect day.

Amazing customer service, Mahmood replies immediately to WhatsApp messages. He built an itinerary for us according which days would be less busy and would have better weather. He was very honest and met us in advance to explain everything. We did the private day trip to Cairo by flight with Ahmed as our guide. He was very friendly, everything was very organised and Ahmed allowed us to make some changes to our day programme according to what we wanted to see. We also did the day trip to Petra which although was a lot of travelling it was totally worth it. No hiccups on either trip and very smoothly operated. All the tour guides were very friendly and kind. Would 100% recommend this tour company for excursions from Sharm.

I taked contact with Sam, that he helped me for any movement in Sharm El Sheik, from Airport to excursions to daily movements! They are very professionals, knowledgeable and fun!! A greeting to all crew of "Dream 1 - Ras Mohamed excursion", to Sam and Peter. If it's possible to give more stars, they deserve them!

Unforgettable experience in the desert We enjoyed one of the best afternoon/evenings of the holiday. We had such an amazing time Quad biking through the desert of Sharm El Sheikh into the sunset. We even stopped off at Echo Mountain on our way to the evening ascertainment! Both the food and entertainment were really good and a great way to experience the culture. We also had a brief ride on a camel, although in the dark so not brilliant for seeing the surroundings. The evening was finished with a spot of star gazing before Quad biking back. Such a fun time had by all. Definitely will use Sharm Wonders again

Very nice day trip in the desert with camel riding, quad bikes, watching the stars, good food and many more. Me and my girlfriend really enjoyed the guide explanations about the stars, he really knew his stuff. The price is more than fair for everything they offer, I highly recommend it!

Sharm el-Sheikh to Cairo by plane - Private Tour. I booked my trip with Sharm Wonders after reading other online reviews, and can say that I was thoroughly impressed by the company, their communications and planning for this trip. I would recommend the private tour rather than the full group one (our tour had only 9 people) as this makes it much more intimate and allows you to maximize your time and meet a small group of others). I received WhatsApp messages with all pick-up locations and collection times in advance, and a clear itinerary of the day's agenda. We were met by reps at hotel pick-up, Cairo Airport, and Sharm airport on the way home. Ahmed (our guide in Cairo) was very knowledgeable and friendly and we really enjoyed having him take us around the city to all the key landmarks and share his experiences and facts. Having done this for many years, he knew when to visit certain places to avoid the crowds and he was not wrong. The trip went flawlessly. I would 100% recommend using Sharm Wonders for this trip to Cairo, and indeed for any others whilst visiting Sharm el-Sheikh.

We had a great experience using SharmWonders. They organized a private transfer from/to the airport for us and a private tour of Cairo with travel via airplane. Sam did a great job organizing the day in Cairo and driving us around - we enjoyed the Pyramids, Egyptian museum and the river Nile. It was also interesting to visit the oil and papyrus shops. Having a private guide was also a great experience, we got a great insight and all our questions answered and as a bonus had a great photographer during the journey :) Thank you guys for the brilliant job you do! We would highly recommend to use SharmWonders to anyone 👍🏻

Camp Area In Ras Mohamed

Children's camp
Nature & Parks
Nature & Wildlife Areas
Camp Area in Ras Mohamed is an idyllic destination for beach lovers and adventure seekers alike. With its easy access to a long sandy beach, this spot offers fantastic opportunities for snorkeling right off the shore, where vibrant corals await exploration. Visitors can enjoy a delicious lunch featuring grilled chicken and rice with fresh salad at the Bedouin area, though it's wise to pre-book your meal.
Perfect place for a beach day in Ras Mohamed. Easy entrance with long sandy beach, corals close to shore easy for snorkeling trip. Lunch with grilled chicken and rice with green salad at Beduin area ( having lunch needs pre booking). There is posible to sleep on a traditional tent, but better to bring own clean pillow.

A wonderful camping spot with a seafront view. There is nothing better than having a camp with the sea being just a stone throw away and a blanket of stars to keep you company. Would recommend for anyone loving to have a break and stargazing fans!

Ras Mohamed Nature Reserve

Mentioned on 
2 lists 
National park
Nature & Parks
Ras Mohamed Nature Reserve, situated 20km west of Sharm El Sheikh, is a stunning peninsula in the Red Sea known for its protected coral reefs, making it an ideal destination for diving and snorkeling. The area boasts world-famous dive sites such as Shark and Jolanda Reefs, offering rewarding snorkeling experiences with abundant corals and diverse marine life. On land, visitors can explore isolated beaches, mangrove forests, and ancient surface cracks caused by earthquakes.
Ras Mohamed Natural Reserve in Egypt is an absolutely fantastic place, filled with an incredible and powerful energy. We were lucky enough to spend the night there in a tent, just a few steps from the sea — truly one of the most beautiful and unforgettable experiences I’ve ever had. Falling asleep under a breathtaking starry sky and waking up already surrounded by the wonders of a pristine natural reserve is something magical. I wholeheartedly recommend this experience to anyone: it offers deep emotions, a true connection with nature, and memories that will stay with you forever.

Ras Mohamed Natural Reserve was outstanding! Trip organized very well, the guide very helpful to explain everything you asked. There was also the photographer who took unforgettable moments and a specialized guide for the snorkeling moment who helped those who could not swim, as well as pointing out and explaining the various fish. Super recommended!!
Keith D — Google review
Incredible spot for snorkeling and diving. There are tons of corals and marine life. Our guide took us to a spot where there were Nemos hiding among the corals. The sea can be a bit rough, so you a good stamina and breath control. I wouldn’t recommend it for people who are out of shape or not a good swimmer.

For me, this ranks as one of the best places in the world to scubs dive. Beautiful reefs, amazing wrecks and so much sea life.
Steve H — Google review
We left before 8 AM and returned after 6 PM, a very long day, but an amazing experience overall. We stopped at three beautiful islands, each offering stunning scenery. I love snorkeling, so this was the perfect trip for me. We also went scuba diving, which was incredibly exciting and a definite highlight. The only downside was that the excursion took up the entire day, so be prepared for a full-day commitment.
MissMinimalist — Google review
Definitely worth a visit, it's a big area and you will need a car to go around and see the different places, the food was also good.

I have been visiting Ras Mohammed National Park regularly every year since 2023, and it remains one of the most impressive snorkeling sites in the entire Red Sea. During one of my recent trip I joined a boat tour with multiple stops along the reef, and every location offered something different: shallow coral gardens, vibrant walls full of orange anthias and dramatic drop-offs that fall straight into the deep blue. The water clarity is exceptional, and as soon as you enter you can clearly see colourful fish moving right above the corals. Marine life is always abundant here. Even without diving deep I regularly encounter butterflyfish, parrotfish, pufferfish, sergeant majors and many other species swimming very close to the surface. I also enjoy doing short apnea dives along the wall, and visibility remains perfectly clear even at depth, making the area ideal for underwater photography and short videos. Facilities inside the protected area are intentionally minimal, so it’s essential to bring plenty of water, sun protection and especially a rash guard. The sun is extremely strong and you can burn quickly, even during short sessions in the water. Mobile signal is weak, but the natural beauty fully compensates. Ras Mohammed remains a must-visit every time I return to Sharm — a genuinely pristine Red Sea experience that never disappoints.
