Sharm El Sheikh sits at the tip of the Sinai Peninsula, where two seas meet and the desert rises straight into mountains within an hour’s drive. It’s Egypt’s most established dive destination — Ras Mohammed National Park and the Tiran Strait are named among the Red Sea’s best reef systems for a reason — but the peninsula behind it holds Mount Sinai and St. Catherine’s Monastery, one of the oldest continuously inhabited monasteries in the world.
What we do differently in Sharm. Many operators sell the sunrise Mount Sinai climb as a bare-bones bus trip. We schedule it with a Bedouin guide, proper timing against sunrise, and a rest stop built in for the descent — because the climb runs roughly three hours each way, and rushing it defeats the point.
Sharm El Sheikh experiences we arrange:
Diving or snorkeling at Ras Mohammed National Park
Boat trips to Tiran Island’s coral reefs
Sunrise trek up Mount Sinai with a visit to St. Catherine’s Monastery
Desert safari with Bedouin dinner in the Sinai interior
Day trips to Cairo or Luxor by flight for guests wanting a cultural add-on
Sharm works best as either a standalone Red Sea holiday or the beach half of a two-center Egypt trip. We coordinate flights, dive centre logistics, and permits for the St. Catherine’s protected area in advance, so nothing gets sorted at the front desk on arrival.
