Things To Do

Set in a sheltered bay, the beach at Sharks Bay is ideal for lazy sunbathing, snorkelling in the house reef or active water sports, and, backed with hotels, bars and restaurants, offers a convenient and lively base for visitors to the Sharm El Sheikh region while on beach holidays here.  

Scuba-diving is the main attraction for many on Sharks Bay activity holidays, with the clear warm waters of the Red Sea offering world-famous conditions. Dive centres make trips out to the spectacular offshore coral reefs, giving visitors the chance to experience the magnificent underwater scenery at diving sites such as the Straits of Tirin, Ras Nasrani and Ras Mohammed. 

Non-divers can also discover the beauty of the deep on cheap holidays to Egypt, with excellent snorkelling to be enjoyed at the walk-in coral reef at Sharks Bay, which is great for families, and regular boat trips to popular areas, such as Giftin Island and Tirin Island.

 

Sharks Bay also offers a variety of other water sports, with the warm seas and ever-present sunshine creating excellent conditions for all activities. Choose from donut rides, banana boat rides and jet skiing, to water skiing, kite surfing, wakeboarding, knee boarding and parasailing.

Away from the water, energetic guests looking for things to do have plenty to keep them busy, including tennis, squash, volleyball, golf, aerobics classes, go-karting, mountain biking, horse riding and camel riding.

Escape into the Sinai Desert for an unforgettable adventure, whether it's peaceful camel trekking or horse riding at sunrise, or enjoying a traditional Bedouin dinner in a camp whilst the sun goes down. A variety of tours are available, from star-gazing and local cooking lessons, to exhilarating jeep safaris to the Coloured Canyon and organised climbs up Mount Sinai.  

Other excursions to try on cultural holidays to Egypt include Ras Mohammed National Park, Abu Galum and St Catherine's Monastery, or trips to Luxor and Cairo, to see the world-famous ancient sites of the country, as well as tours to Petra in Jordan.
