Sharm El Sheikh Travel Guide: 7-Day Holiday Plan

Sharm El Sheikh holiday's strength lies in combining the underwater life of the Red Sea with resort comfort and desert activities. Seven days leave room for both relaxation and excursions.

First Days: Settling into the Hotel and the Sea

Devote the first day to recovering from the flight and getting to know the hotel layout. On the second day, try snorkeling from the shore or a relaxed beach program.

Middle Section: Boat and Desert

If weather and sea conditions allow, plan a boat trip around Ras Mohammed or Tiran. A separate day can be chosen for a desert safari close to sunset hours.

Final Days: City and Relaxation

Choose an area such as Naama Bay, Old Market or SOHO Square that suits your expectations. Don't fill the day before your return with a very tiring activity.

Practical Tips

• Ask about the type of sea entry at hotels with a reef.

• Increase your sun protection on boat days.

• Don't pile activities onto the same day.

Important Note

Sea and weather conditions may cause programs to change.
