Enjoy Some Sheik Chic

Many people view Sharm el Sheik as little more than a resort town but there is so much more to this beautiful place than simply that. The resort aspect is there, it is true, but luxury Sharm el Sheikh holidays can offer you so much more than you might get in the rest of Egypt. For one thing, Sharm is not as crowded and chaotic as Cairo and so provides a much nicer base to explore the treasures of Egypt. Being just an hour away from Cairo, it is easy to latch onto tours into the heartland of Egypt.

Most people choose luxury Sharm el Sheikh holidays because of the fantastic diving conditions and the diving truly is spectacular. The reef off Sharm is still part of the Ras Mohammed National Park and is, as a result, a protected area. The thousands of species of fish and hundreds of species of coral create an underwater wonderland that is difficult to match anywhere else on earth. There are several hotels that cater specifically for dive holidays and also many dive boats or diving tours that can be had. Although many of the hotels allow you to obtain your PADI certification, it is a good idea to do, at the very least, the theoretical part of the training before arriving so you have more time to dive.

Luxury Sharm el Sheikh holidays are not just for divers, however. If you prefer to keep both feet on solid ground, you are easily able to explore the Ras Mohammed National Park. Expect to see the clearest daytime skies and the deepest night skies that you have ever seen. The atmosphere here is unspoiled by pollution and the desert sky is absolutely beautiful at night. If you are rather fit, a wonderful way to take advantage of the night sky is by going on a hiking trip up Sinai Mountain. This trip is favored by a lot of religious visitors and it seems appropriate somehow – the mountain seems that much closer to the heavens. It is about a seven kilometer hike to the top so if you are not in tip top shape you may want to consider hiring a camel to properly enjoy this part of your luxury Sharm el Sheikh holidays.

If your luxury Sharm el Sheikh holidays are about rejuvenation, you will probably want to try the Fish Cure Spa pedicure – feel an amazing sensation as hundreds of little fish nibble at the dead skin under your feet and give you a pedicure like none other.

Sharm is a destination that is so much more than just a resort town – it is an unforgettable experience.
