Rahm:
I'd be willing to bet that these "russians" listed here for their rude behavior,drunken fighting, obnoxious filthy habits, r criminals of the organized type, whose hub is not in Moscow, but in a country next door to Egypt. If uwant a nice experience, avoid any resort where Mubarak lived

Overview A world-acclaimed dive centre and the most developed of the Red
Sea resorts, Sharm el-Sheikh has many holiday activities, luxury
accommodation and restaurants available. Most Sharm el-Sheikh
hotels and diving centres are situated four miles (7km) from the
city at Naama Bay and it has become a busy holiday resort with
plenty of shopping opportunities, late night entertainment and an
attractive holiday atmosphere.
Numerous dive sites are within reach of Sharm el-Sheikh,
including the huge drop-offs at Ras Mohammed in the extreme
southern part of the peninsula, the Straits of Tiran, various
wrecks and 28 sites located along the coast that are reached by
boat. Naama Bay has a gently sloping sandy bottom, is ideal for
dive classes, and provides diving and snorkelling opportunities for
all levels without having to use a boat or car to get there.
Besides excellent diving and snorkelling, which are the main
activities when in Sharm el-Sheikh on holiday, there are plenty of
watersports available if one feels like doing more than just
soaking up the sun. Add a vibrant nightlife with casinos, discos
and nightclubs and one can't complain of boredom!
Shopping Avid shoppers will find a good variety of goods in the old
market and Sharm El-Sheikh mall, where shops sell both foreign and
local products, including jewellery, leather goods, clothing,
pottery and books. Naama Bay offers a more upmarket shopping
experience at the Naama Centre, where shopkeepers are less inclined
to bargain but everything from souvenirs to scarves can be had.
- Don't buy snorkelling or dive gear in Sharm or anywhere in Egypt for that matter. The quality is very uneven and prices quite high. Bring your own equipment where possible. Oxygen bottles are ok though. : Macie...See More Tips | Add Tip
Restaurants Between Sharm el-Sheikh's two tourist districts of Old Sharm and

to Japanese is represented in Sharm el-Sheikh.
- Piccasso bar is owned by an English lady, she cooks great Sunday lunches and quiche. Well worth a visit. : liz...See More Tips | Add Tip
- If you want English food, The Tavern Bar is by far the best and all your favourites. dave nelson
- Check out Little Buddha in Na'ama Bay for great sushi! All over the town though the seafood is very good if its fresh. Macie
Nightlife Sharm el-Sheikh casinos, discos, pubs and bars cater to those
ready to party the night away while on holiday. Entertainment
ranges from dance clubs to informal hangouts, with local favourites
like the Pirates Bar, Zabadi and The Tavern Pub.
- Pacha is definitely the mega club of the resort and the whole open air dancing experience is pretty great. : Macie...See More Tips | Add Tip

- You have got to go to the beach (sharks bay) and snorkel there and go shopping :) Lindsay Carragher ( Matthew c , Debbie & pauline oliver xx
- Try to take some interest in what drives the Egyptians who work in Sharm el-Sheikh. They will welcome you not only to their country but also to their hearts. Beautiful people if you care for them they will care for you and make this small piece of paradise even better. e somers
- If you stay at the Hilton in Naama Bay you MUST go on the Tiran Island trip with the Sun N Fun excusion people who are on the beach. Their boat is the nicest one we saw (a beautiful wooden yatch type) and they don\'t fill it to the rafters. You will have your own lounger and its lovely. They also do lovely food & provide FOC soft drinks. We paid about £35 for 2 adults and one child for the day including lunch and three escorted snorkelling stops. Excellent day & value for money.

- The day excursion to day to Tiran Island is really amazing... Macie
Negatives Shopkeepers and hawkers can become a nuisance but a polite
though firm 'no, thank you' should ward them off.
