AFRICA ATTRACTIONS

Sharm El Sheikh

Sharm El Sheikh is located at the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula, one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Arab world. It is considered a prime diving spot and an extension to the Sinai desert is always an unforgettable adventure. Saint Catherine's Monastery, the biblical Mount Sinai (where Moses received the Ten Commandments) and the coastal towns of Dahab and Nuweiba are the main attractions in the region.

The Sinai peninsula is a remote and desert mountain range. The rocky mountains are separated from the Red Sea, almost at the entrance to the Gulf of Aqaba, by a brief flat strip of desert. This combination of desert and sea creates an incredible visual effect. In recent years, political instability in Egypt, especially in Sinai, has significantly reduced the number of tourists and prices in Sharm. For adventurers, this is a great opportunity to visit the peninsula.
