Sharks Bay Holidays

Sharks Bay Holidays
4
7

Holidays to Sharks Bay, the beautiful cove some four miles north of Sharm el Sheikh, on the perennially warm waters and clear skies of the Sinai peninsula, remain among that area’s most popular. This is principally due to the fantastic diving opportunities on offer, with a great reef housing multicoloured fish and corals that prove a spectacle for old diving hands and newbies alike!

But there’s more to this resort than meets the eye. It has everything you would expect from a beach holiday in Egypt, but where holidays in Sharks Bay excel is in the diversity of entertainment and activities on offer. Whether you are coming on holidays to Sharks Bay with the whole family or for a romantic break for two, you'll revel in the intoxicatingly chilled out atmosphere!

Weather

A hat and a bottle of sun-block will be in order for your stay here whenever you come. Even yuletide temperatures in the Sinai peninsula are over 20° Celsius, with summers soaring past 40° Celsius! Open your Christmas presents beside the pool or go on summer safari - just don’t bring your woolly jumper!

Attractions

Aside from the area’s superlative diving, there are plenty of sights to see here both underwater and on dry land! Divers can check out the wrecks of the WW2 Thistlegorm merchant vessel, or the 19th Century steamer, Dunraven, with glass fish and rays pouring in and out of their hulls. Or stay dry on a visit to Mount Sinai, with the oldest open church in the world, St Catherine’s, replete with an ancient library. For the kids, there are plenty of wildlife reserves here in Sharm, as well as a diving museum and the Fun Land Theme Park nearby.
