Hotels - Diving in Egypt

Diving holidays have become popular with those who are looking to experience the wonders of nature beneath the waves as part of their holiday.

With a rich variety of destinations around the world – from the islands of the Caribbean to the picturesque waters of the Great Barrier Reef.

Many resorts combine white sandy beaches and delightful little hotels with clear blue sea just waiting to be explored.

One of the most popular destinations for scuba diving holidays is the coastal resort of Sharm El Sheikh, located on the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt.

Sharm El Sheikh is known as City Of Peace, located in the area known as the Red Sea Riviera. Tourists flock to the resort attracted by some of the most exhilarating dive sites in the Red Sea.

Hotels in Sharm El Sheikh have an air of luxury about them. Indeed, the resort is a popular destination for honeymooners – attracted by the white sandy beaches, crystal clear waters and a whole host of attractions to visit.

The main tourist centre of the resort is Na’ama Bay – the location of the first hotel in the region – with a rich supply of luxury hotels, shops, cafes and bustling night-time atmosphere.

Shark’s Bay is another area of the resort, with a number of quality hotels, gorgeous views of the Red Sea and the surrounding mountain region. This area has become known as one of the most popular destinations for divers.

Ras Mohammed National Park offers the opportunity for tourists to step away from the sea and enjoy the beauty of the surrounding landscape. With a number of guided tours over sand dunes and mountain treks, it provides a refreshing change for those looking to take a break from diving.

The desert environment is home to a number of species of antelope and birds of prey, and upon reaching the coast the desert appears to drop into the ocean – helping to create some of the most beautiful dive sites in the Red Sea.
