Sharm El Sheikh

Sharm El Sheikh, the largest city in South Sinai and the vacation destination with Egypt's fastest-growing population, has long been a favorite of European and Russian tourists, but as global travel booms, it's ready to welcome everyone else. It is a well-liked vacation spot, especially for those trying to escape a gloomy northern winter, thanks to a major airport, exceptional weather, and the availability of luxurious resorts at reasonable prices.

Environmental safeguards put in place in the 1990s have ensured less freighter traffic in the once-busy port, helping to protect the enormous coral reef offshore, an underwater paradise for snorkelers and divers. If having a lively nightlife is important to you, Sharm most certainly has it. There are numerous restaurants serving a wide variety of cuisines along Boulevard Principe del Bahrain, the main street in the Naama Bay neighborhood, which is also home to bars and clubs that stay open until dawn.
