Sinai Region People & Culture

GO THERE! so chill and gorgeous. you also have access to amazing outdoor activities like diving, snorkeling, hiking in canyons and up mt sinai and atv-ing! the people are very kind, and there is nothing like chillin in a beahcside restauraunt with some sheesha til the wee hours!

is suitable for people who wants just to relax. is not very reach of culture. kind of fankeness there. But very nice nature with perfect conditions for divers.

You have to be vewry fit for the 2.5 hour uphill walk in sand to get to Mt sinai the the 500 odd steps up to 18 inches high! If you want to enjoy the experience when older or not fit hire a camel for about $25AUD then have a local pull you up the steps for a small sum. All this is done in the dark but the walk down is relaxed and in daylight. Many hundreds of people go daily so don't expect a romantic lone desert climb. Lots of food and drinks stops that help the local economy. A mush have is a hot chocolate at the top. yum and thaws your very frozen hands!!

Great diving destination and not as touristy as others. Lovely people and lots of seafood! Very chilled. Not such a party atmosphere during Ramadam though.

Sharm is very noisy egyptian city where you can taste the real arabic culture, colourful markets, eye catching souvenir shops and plenty of restaurants where you are almost dragged into by mohameds, ahmeds and other people. During the day you have to try snorkeling or diving because such beautiful reefs you can't find in europe.

A great place to dive, and for cultural visit trips, for example the Sinai http://www.ultramarina.com/article.php3?id_article=57 For women travelling, you better wear "respectful" clothes, long leaves and if skirt, long outside the hotel area. You won't get into trouble but the men will stare at you and make you unconfortable.

Beautiful underwater world. Perfect weather in spring and autumn (about 30°degrees). Naama Bay is very touristic. For Shopping is Old Sharm quite less expensive. Always try to get a less price. You need to go to the Nationalpark Ras Mohamed and Nabq, make a Trip with Quads in the desert, go snorkeling on a boat and a lot more. Egyptian do not drink Alcohol. So drinks are expensive in compare with food or anything else. For going out I recommend "El Fanar", Pacha, Hard Rock and Alf Leila wa Leila.

I went camping at Sharm-el-sheikh. That was in 1978. Never saw a resort, felt lucky when we found a bedouin run cafe that offered chilled drinks. It was pristine and primitive and extremely beautiful. Trip was run by the Nature Preservation Society of Israel and we spent each day hiking, climbing and snorkeling. One of the best adventures of my life.

this place is absolutely goreous if you love white beaches an crystal clear waters it is for you!!!! scuba an snorkeling!!!! if you like to eat and party go to nama bay for an exsiting night life!!!! there the food and partys are awsome, places like little buda, hard rock cafe and paccas!!!!

Do NOT forget you snorkel! The reefs are extremly close to the edge are are AMAZING to swim around, just don't go near a moray eel, they can bite a hige chunk of skin off you!

Sharm el sheik is dull, full of package tourists, but the diving is good!!

Remember that hotel standards differ from European level. For example *** hotel in Europe is decend while in Egypt it may not be acceptable for you.

Visit the desert on a camel.

Diving, relax, nightlife, excellent resorts and fine Red Sea :)
