Holidaymakers often visit Egypt for one reason only and that is to see some some of the wonderful, iconic sights such as the Sphinx or the pyramids. But although Egypt is beloved for its wealth of history and culture, there is plenty more to see and do. Sharm El Sheikh is an area which perhaps has the most to offer the holidaymaker looking to explore Egypt a little bit further.

The Red Sea can be accessed from Sharm El Sheikh and offers some wonderful scuba diving territory. The waters in the Red Sea are amazingly clear and you can see fish, coral reefs and even endangered mammals. Scuba diving is extremely popular in Sharm El Sheikh and even if you have never done it before, you will have the opportunity to learn. You would probably be wise, however, to learn the activity at home so you can make the most out of your holiday. For those who are already experienced, there are some amazing spots such as Shark reef and Yolanda Reef and the opportunity to explore a number of fine wrecks.

There has been much by way of development in the area over many years which has resulted in Ras Muhammas National Park, designed to protect the land and the sea around Sinai Peninsula. But the park itself is home to some areas which can provide some fantastic water sport fun such as scuba diving, swimming and snorkelling.

For golfers, the Jolie Ville Golf Resort provides a professional course with the opportunity to spend a whole day. It can be addictive so save it for when you have a full day spare.

There are numerous facilities at the resort such as amusement parks and swimming pools for those who are more likely to prefer to take a leisurely swim than get involved in water sports or swim in the open sea. Lying by the pool catching a sun tan is also a popular activity but remember to wear plenty of sun cream to prevent heat stroke.

Great savings to be made on all inclusive Sharm El Sheikh holidays.
