Sharm el Sheikh
Sea, desert and sunshine almost all year round: an essential guide to the town where we'll be hosting you.
A pearl of the Red Sea
Sharm el Sheikh, Arabic for ‘the Sheikh’s Bay’, is one of the best-known beach destinations on the Red Sea. It sits at the southern tip of the Sinai peninsula, where the Gulf of Aqaba meets the Red Sea.
Once a small fishing village, in the 1980s and 1990s it became one of Italians' favourite destinations, thanks to its coral reefs and a sunny climate almost all year round.
The Red Sea and its reefs
The Red Sea is one of the best places in the world for snorkelling and diving. Ras Mohammed National Park, south of the town, protects some of the richest coral reefs in the region.
The water stays warm even in winter and visibility is often excellent: you'll spot clownfish, pufferfish, rays and turtles just snorkelling off the reef.
Sunshine all year round
Sharm has a desert climate with very little rain. In summer, temperatures often top 35 °C; in winter the days stay mild, with highs of around 20-25 °C and cooler evenings.
The most pleasant months are in spring and autumn. Summer is hot but the sea makes up for it; in winter people come to escape the cold and stay for weeks.
