Ras Um Sid

Ras Um Sid, Sharm El Sheikh's best beach, is a beautiful beach with a variety of activities. This well-known tourist resort, which boasts spectacular views of the Red Sea, is also quite popular with divers who wish to explore the wealth of life under the waves.

Because of its location at the very tip of a peninsula, the region is a little more laid back and tranquil when compared to other, busier beaches in the area. Close to the old souk – a glimpse into the customs and legacy of the local people – there is plenty of family-friendly lodging nearby.

The beach itself is a spot where divers who visit Egypt are captivated by the beauty of the coral's colors. Rare fish flit and hide in the amazing formations, which can also be observed by snorkeling and is a terrific opportunity for children to learn about the ocean.
