Sharm El-Sheikh (Arabic: شرم الشيخ‎ Sharm ash-Shaykh) is a world-famous resort city located on the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt, overlooking the Red Sea. Once a small fishing village, Sharm El-Sheikh began its transformation in the late 20th century into one of the Middle East’s most important tourism destinations. Today, it is internationally recognized for its well-planned resorts, modern infrastructure, and stunning natural surroundings.

The city is renowned for its luxury hotels and all-inclusive resorts, many set directly on private beaches with panoramic Red Sea views. Sharm El-Sheikh is especially famous for its exceptional coral reefs, crystal-clear waters, and marine life, making it one of the world’s top destinations for scuba diving and snorkeling, particularly in areas like Ras Mohammed National Park and Tiran Island. With its year-round sunshine, vibrant nightlife, and wide range of leisure and water-sport activities, Sharm El-Sheikh remains one of the top Red Sea holiday destinations in Egypt for relaxation, adventure, and luxury travel.
