Things To Do

Set on the Sinai Peninsula, Nabq Bay offers a quiet base with a shallow lagoon, and boasts sandy shores and clear warm waters. There are wonderful views out across the mountains, and the promenade running behind the beach is lined with convenient amenities for tourists; ideal for beach holidays in Egypt.

There's plenty of choice for scuba-divers, and the chance to experience all that the magnificent Red Sea has to offer. Known as one of the best places to learn, the Sharm El Sheikh area is home to dive sites for all abilities, with Nabq Bay diving holidays offering access to spectacular areas such as the coral reefs at Ras Mohammed and the Straits of Tiran, as well as the wrecks of Thistlegorm and Dunraven.   

Non-divers can also explore the beauty of the underwater landscape, with snorkelling available off the shore at Nabq Bay, and well as along the coast at Sharks Bay and Naama Bay. There are also numerous snorkelling excursions out to sites in deeper waters, and glass-bottomed boat rides that allow passengers to experience the beauty of the Red Sea, without even leaving their seats.    

Warm seas, coastal breezes and glorious sunshine provide wonderful conditions for water sports in the lagoon at Nabq Bay, with pedalos, windsurfing, sailing, water skiing, kite surfing, canoeing and parasailing available.

 

Away from the beach, there's plenty of things to keep active guests busy, including tennis, squash, table-tennis, volleyball, exercise classes, archery mountain biking, quad biking, horse riding and camel riding. Nearby, there are also facilities for bowling, ice skating and paint-balling, all at affordable prices for those on cheap holidays to Egypt.

No holiday to Egypt is complete without a trip into the desert, and Nabq Bay offers a number of regular excursions to suit a range of tastes. Choose from a scenic horse or camel ride through the dunes of the Sinai Desert at sunrise, a traditional Bedouin feast in a tent under the stars on cultural holidays here, a fast-paced jeep safari or a reflective climb up Mount Sinai - all offering the ultimate Egyptian experience.    

Other places of interest include the lively commercial centre of Naama Bay for shopping, Hurghada for its famed nightlife scene, excursions to the Coloured Canyon, St. Catherine's Monastery and Ras Mohammed National Park, and longer trips to Luxor, Cairo and Petra in Jordan.
