National Parks

There are four national parks in the area, which equally strike with their beauty. They are: Ras Muhammad, Abu Galoum, St. Catherin National Park and Nabq National Park. They present a perfect solution for those who want to explore the wild life of the area, observe the lifestyle of the Bedouin communities inhabiting most of these places or just enjoy the meditative peace of the area. Camping, land or boat cruising are just perfect in these national parks. Pay them a visit!

Palazzo

Palazzo Restaurant and café is a cosy place situated in a prime location in Naama Bay, so has a great view of the surrounding area.

Il Mercato

Designed by one of Italy’s leading artists Barbara Viselli, Il Mercato is the highlight of Sharm being an identical replica of the Italian Cathedrals in Rome. It is saturated with cafés, restaurants and shops, all of leading brands such as Starbucks, McDonalds and Addidas. This is definitely the place to be. There is also a children’s corner where the kids can entertain themselves leaving adults to enjoy a calm atmosphere.

Dive centers commonly turn a blind eye to the lack of a work permit, or might procure one for a valued worker.

Wadi Kid

This is one of the Sinai's most abundantly watered wadis, supporting profuse vegetation all along its length.

Gabr Elbent

Part of the attraction of this site is the novelty of the commute - by camel along the inaccessible coastline between Dahab and Nabq to the north of Sharm El Sheikh. The sight of a train of camels, driven by Bedouin in full regalia and loaded down with high-tech dive gear, is an unforgettable one. The site is a sheer wall running around the north point of a curving bay. Following the coastline, the wall drops to depths well past 50m (164ft).

Quad Biking in Sharm

Had a great afternoon out Quad Biking in the Sinai Desert, March 2007.

The Islands

The Islands is a dense concentration of coral pinnacles and patch reefs in a sheltered location along the Dahab shore - a labyrinthine range of peaks, valleys, corridors, sand patches, bowls, amphi
