Sharm El Sheikh is a resort town at the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula, renowned for the coral reefs of the Red Sea. This page brings together package tours that include Sharm El Sheikh, All Inclusive hotels and day trips in the area.
The cost consists of three components: flights, accommodation, and day trips. Combined package tours that include flights and transfers start at around 700 euros per person. For those seeking accommodation only, nightly rates at All Inclusive hotels vary by room type and season. Day activities such as boat tours, diving, and desert safaris typically cost around 25–45 dollars per person.
Naama Bay is ideal for those who want a lively center, nightlife, and easy access to the market. Nabq Bay is close to the airport and suits families with its quieter resorts and spacious gardens. The Shark’s Bay and Hadaba areas are popular with snorkelers and divers thanks to their beachfront properties and easy access to reefs. Adults-only (16+) properties are another option for couples seeking a peaceful holiday.
What sets Sharm El Sheikh apart is its coral reefs, which are very close to shore; at many hotels, the reef begins just a few meters from the jetty. Ras Mohammed National Park, Tiran Island and the Blue Hole in Dahab are the region’s best-known diving and snorkeling spots. Introductory dives with an instructor are available for beginners.
Yes. It is possible to fly to Cairo for a day trip, visit the pyramids and return the same day; it is a very busy day, but one that combines two experiences in a single trip. Combined package tours include an overnight stay in Cairo. If you are travelling to Cairo, a “Sinai Only” stamp is not enough; you need a full tourist visa.
The swimming season lasts all year; water temperatures are around 21–23 °C even in winter. October–April is the most comfortable period for sightseeing. Daytime temperatures rise considerably between June and August; during this period, travellers spend the middle of the day at the hotel and schedule excursions for the morning and evening.
There is a wide variety of day trips in the region. The most popular options include yacht trips to Ras Mohammed and White Island, snorkeling trips around Tiran Island, horseback riding on the beach in Nabq Bay, jeep safaris from Dahab to the Blue Hole and Colored Canyon, introductory dives with an instructor, and day trips to Cairo by air to visit the pyramids. These trips include hotel pickup; their duration and included services are listed on each activity’s own page.
The local currency is the Egyptian pound; dollars and euros are widely accepted at tourist facilities. Tipping is customary, so it is useful to carry small bills. Tap water is not for drinking; bottled water is recommended. Reef-safe sunscreen is recommended for national parks and boat trips; touching reefs and collecting coral are prohibited in protected areas. Electrical outlets are European-style, so an extra adapter is generally not needed.
If you are staying only on the Sinai Peninsula and your stay will not exceed 15 days, you will receive a free “Sinai Only” stamp at the airport. A full tourist visa is required if Cairo or Hurghada is included in the itinerary.
