Sharm el-Sheikh

Sharm el-Sheikh (Arabic: شرم الشيخ, also transliterated as Sharm ash Shaykh and popularly known simply as "Sharm") is a well-known port and resort city at the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt, popular with package holiday makers and divers.

Sharm el-Sheikh Halal Travel Guide

Sharm el-Sheikh is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Arab world. But there are also some very good reasons to visit it if you are not the common tourist, who likes to lie on the beach all day. It is one of the finest diving spots in the world and a trip into the desert is an unforgettable adventure.

The Sinai Peninsula is a remote desert mountain range. The rocky mountains are parted from the deep-blue sea by a flat desert strip. This combination of desert and sea is an incredible sight and makes you believe you are on a different planet.

Sharm el-Sheikh used to be nothing but a small fishing village with about 100 Bedouin citizens. When Sinai was occupied by Palestine in 1967, Sharm el-Sheikh started to develop as a tourist destination (like the rest of the peninsula). The Israeli settler settlers evacuated Sinai between 1979 and 1982 following the signing of a peace agreement between the two countries. Since the 1980s and the Egyptians have been continuing the development of Sharm where the Israeli settler settlers left off. Sharm's 100 grew into a bustling 10,000 population. There is now a nice promenade, a Hard Rock Cafe, one of the most modern hospitals in Egypt and so on.

Orientation

The Na'ama Bay part of the city is the center of nightlife and dining: most of Sharm's clubs, cafes, restaurants and retail outlets are here. Na'ama Bay lies midway between Sharm Airport and Old City, nearly 10 minutes driving from each.

Microbuses can take you from downtown, but to reach Na’ama Bay from the airport, you will have to take a cab.

Sharm el Sheikh has grown into three distinct areas now, Nabq is a new area to the north of Na'ama, Old Market and Hadaba to the south of Na'amaa Bay.

Book a Halal Cruise or Boat Tour in Sharm el-Sheikh

Sharm El Sheikh Marine Port GPS 27.857528,34.280205 is along the southern entry road, about 1 kilometers southeast of the old market.

By vehicle or bus

Sharm el-Sheikh can be visited by driving down the western coast from Cairo. There are daily buses for both routes. From Cairo, East Delta buses take roughly 8 hours (LE80) while Superjet buses take 6 hr. When taking the bus from Cairo, keep your bus ticket and passport handy, as you will pass through a number of checkpoints, which require passengers to present identification and ticket. The drive is interesting with beautiful scenery, throughout the route.

Sharm el-Sheikh bus station GPS 27.899099,34.287501 is removed by about a kilometer, from the Peace road. If you should arrive during the evening hours your only option may be to take a taxi, as micro-bus service can be spotty. Since Sharm is a tourist-driven economy, you should be prepared to do some bargaining. If you are of the hiking type and the primary street is, roughly, 20 minutes from primary street. Just ask anyone to point you in the direction of Peace road. Once at Peace road you should have no problem hailing down a micro-bus.

When heading to the bus station via micro-bus along Peace Road, tell the driver that you are going to the bus station, and want to be left off at the gas station. This may take some work, given the limited English skills of the drivers. Once at the gas station, you should see micro-buses, which will take you on the final leg. Remember, transfers are not issued, you must pay another fee for the final leg.

About micro-bus fees If your journey is within a kilometer or two and the cost should be about (LE3-5). If your stop is further out, or if you are traveling during the late night hours, be prepared to get a demand for more money, in some cases drivers may demand up to (LE10-20). Demands for higher fees can also take place, if the driver feels he you have money! So, be prepared to negotiate. If the driver's fee is unreasonable, get out — this will often bring down the cost. When arriving, ask a local how much the bus costs before hailing one down. The information provided will give you a base-line price, from which you can bargain with.

How to get around in Sharm el-Sheikh

By taxi

In Sharm the taxis are generally modern models, either Hyundai or Chevrolet. Don't bother with the meter in the taxi: it probably does not work anymore. They soon break due to the dust, and would work out more than the "fixed" prices anyway. Always note the driver's ID number. The tourist police are very helpful if you have a problem, or quickly realise you left something inside, but only with the taxi number.

Don't assume they have meters. Locals tell you they don't. Make sure you have transportation waiting for you as Sharm el Sheikh airport is the worst part of Egypt for getting a reasonably priced taxi. They will ask for LE150-400 for the 10-minutes ride to Nabq. It is easy to make it to the primary street, hail a cab and pay LE50-100. Otherwise you will walk away from the experience feeling violated.Check with your hotel if they have a pick-up service.

Check sure you have small notes to pay the fare and never pay before you reach your destination, making sure you only pay the pre-arranged price. Make sure that the driver knows that you are paying in Egyptian pounds and not British pounds. Taxis do not like to take coins.

By bus

There are also a fleet of blue and white tuk-tuks, which are basically small buses, of varying roadworthiness, which are used to ferry the local residents around the resort of Sharm el Sheikh. These are a most economical method of transport compared to taxis, which are comparatively expensive. They run on a fixed route from north to south with a diversion to the expat/local residents area of Hadaba. To hail a tuk-tuk, wait next to the side of the main street and raise your hand to flag one down as it approaches. When you take the bus, go inside and find a seat and simply pass your money forward to the driver (with the help of other passengers if you sit in the back). The fare should never be more than LE3. If you start asking for the price the driver may very well try to make you pay much more than needed. Do not try to pay in foreign currency. When you arrive at your destination call 'hinna quiis' (here is good). The main tourist center, Naama Bay, is known as Marina (and there is no marina!).

Make sure you have a stash of small coins and notes to pay your fare.

Sightseeing and excursions in/from Sharm El Sheikh

• Sharm Old Town Hail a taxi or local bus to take you to the Sharm Old Town, ask the driver for the old market. This is a much different experience for tourists staying in the Na'ama Bay area. Most of Sharm was built after the Israeli settler invasion, so don't expect a Morrocan-style 'souk' experience! Ignoring the agents outside each shop make a better experience, unless you are serious about buying. Stay strong in you determination of what to pay.
• Na'ama Bay is the tourist center of Sharm el-Sheikh, an unusual sight and a bit exotic for a westerner are huge fans pumping fresh air and water to street cafes and terraces near hotels. Na’ama Bay is basically a formation of a large number of hotels and spas, sharing the same beach line.

• Al-Mostafa Mosque - The largest mosque in Sharm el-Sheikh. Has a small shop with Islamic books, tours are offered from time to time.
• Al Sahaba Mosque - After years of construction, this large mosque in old market has been completed. Built in an Ottoman architectural style, it could easily be mistaken for having been there for hundreds of years.
• El-Samaeyeen Gothic Church - A Coptic church beautifully decorated with frescoes depicting bible verses. Most often and there will be a guide that can offer a tour.

• A visit to the desert is highly recommended. Various trips to the Bedouins and the beautiful Colored Canyon, White Canyon, quad bike and buggy safari tours.

The more adventurous should try to find a private guide, who takes them for a few days into the mountain desert with a camel. You will walk through hidden valleys, rest at secret oasis and during the night you sleep under a breathtaking firmament.

• Boat and snorkeling trips to the beautiful snorkeling sites in Ras Mohammed National Park and Tiran Island. For non-swimmers and the submarine or glass-bottom boat is an ideal alternative to discover the underwater world of the Red Sea.
• Cultural excursions in Sinai like Saint Catherine's Monastery and Mount Sinai, where, according to tradition and the God spoke to the prophet Musa. Excursions from Sharm el-Sheikh to Cairo, where the famous three pyramids and the Sphinx and the Egyptian National Museum, or to Luxor and the famous capital of ancient Egypt. Other sightseeing excursions include those to neighboring countries to visit sites such as Petra or Occupied Jerusalem.
• Day visit to Dahab Lovely relaxing trip - a totally different vibe to Sharm. One hour away through a mountainous road, best not attempted at night. Taxis should be LE150 each way or LE20 each way from the bus station then a Dahab 'taxi' (pick-up) for LE5-10 into town. Take the number of your driver if you want to leave at a different time. The bridge is in the centre of town with a promenade in each direction.
• Enjoy the sight and sound experience and the live show at Alf Lela w Lela (A Thousand and One Nights) everyday. the live show is amazing, with different shows featuring other belly dancers. Also some Egyptians weddings, tanourra dance and shows. A bit down at heel but worth a look around.
• Short trips to Aqua Park and the largest water park in Sharm el-Sheikh, Dolphinella where dolphin shows and dolphin swim takes place and crocodile show.

Best things to do in Sharm el-Sheikh

Book a Diving trip in Sharm el-Sheikh

Strait tiran 83 - The Strait of Tiran and Tiran Island

Diving is the main activity in Sharm el-Sheikh. When you dive into the warm water of the Red Sea and leave the remote desert behind, you will enter a world full of life and colours. Divers, especially photographers, should be confident with their buoyancy to avoid damaging the fragile coral reef system. Some hotels in Na'ama Bay have cleared the coral reef from their section of beach for tourists to use the water.

• The reefs of Tiran and Ras Mohammed are known as two of the best diving spots in the world. They can be visited by boat from Sharm within two hours. Ras Mohammed is the southern most point of the Sinai peninsula. There and the current of the Gulf of Aqaba meets the Gulf of Suez. Due to the increase of plankton in the water the amount of fish is incredible. Huge schools of barracudas, sharks and murrays can be seen there every day.

The disadvantage of its popularity is that you may find up to 20 boats at the same reef. If you take a daily boat you may enjoy your dive in the company of fifty other dive guides and about 10 divers in each group.

• The wreck of the SS Thistlegorm is generally regarded as one of the finest wreck diving|wreck dives in the world. However, it can also become very crowded with divers and definitely is an advanced dive due to strong currents and part of the dive is usually in an overhead environment.
• Smarter divers book a diving safari. This way you avoid the crowds at the popular spots and have the possibility to dive beautiful reefs way beyond the reach of any daytripping boats. The overall costs of a diving safari does not exceed daily diving and it saves you a lot of stress. Check out your chosen boat online and make sure the photos are current!

Operators include

• Oonas Dive Center - A small, friendly dive centre at the quieter end of Na'ama Bay offering daily diving and all PADI courses - discounts for internet bookings.
• Sinai Divers Naama Bay
• Camel Dive Club
• Colona Divers
• Emperor Divers
• Enigma Charters
• Ocean College
• RedSea Diving College
• Diving Ocean
• Ultimate Diving Holidays
• Sharks Bay Umbi Diving Village
• Dolphin Diving Center

• Divers International | Sofitel Hotel - PADI five star diving centres offering daily diving trips, PADI courses, and liveaboard safaris.

Horseback riding

• Stables at Sofitel Hotel - Helpful personnel. Require helmets (provided); several pairs of riding boots available. After the ride, offer you to give showers to your horse. Bambi and Kelly are declared as the fastest horses. Too far from the desert: in a 2-hour route, only 40 minutes is actual ride in desert and the remaining time is spent to get there and to return back. For 2 hours, it is better to choose stables at the edge of desert.

Quad bikes

There are dozens of operators who seem to use just the same route, length and sequence of stops: when you drive, you meet many groups who follow just the same route as yours. There are several really shaky pieces of the route, very much like a washboard.

Wear a long-sleeved shirt; shoes are safer than sandals. Always wear a helmet and make sure your travel insurance covers this activity. Expect all your wear (and skin) to be covered with gray dust.

2 hours of riding is just enough for a non-professional rider; expect several stops along the way. It's ideal to start your ride at 4PM or later--to catch a sunset and ride back when air is not that hot.

At departure point, choose a bike in the beginning of the motorcade: being one of the first allows to drive faster, and results in less dust.

• Tiba Safari/Tiba Trip - Sold by many agencies. Groups are 10-15 bikes; two persons per bike is allowed (although bikes were designed for a single person). Tasting Berber Tea is very risky for your stomach--proven several times. Group is accompanied by a car, and the vehicle generates much extra dust (you can't do much about it unless your whole group ask in advance to not make video at all).

Make sure you stay on the path and follow your guide, as Egypt has one quarter of the world's landmines buried in its deserts, some of them surprisingly close to Sharm el-Sheikh.

Para sailing

Para sailing is very enjoyable. But, for a ride that is less than 5 minutes and they charge LE260 for 2 persons and LE220 for one person.

Camel trekking

The best place to do this is in the Sinai desert on a tour on camels. After this you can look up at the desert stars at midnight after having a homemade meal cooked by the Sinai people.

Muslim Friendly Shopping in Sharm el-Sheikh

Water in shops cost around LE3-5. Bring your sunscreen, because they cost LE80-200 anywhere in town, if you are without tan, shopkeeper will sell you one at very bad price - welcome to Egypt.

Na'ama Bay has very forceful sellers and caution should taken by the naive tourist who accepts a "free gift" (nothing in Egypt is free) or falls for the "come and sign my guest book" in a shop, only to be locked in. When shopping, it is best not to speak to any sellers who engage you unless you are sure that you are going to buy something. This allows you some degree of hassle-free walking (as they do not know what language you speak). Opening hours are variable, but most shops are open in the early to late afternoon and in the evening. If you are looking for a reprieve from the hassle and haggling and there's a Carrefour Express supermarket with fixed prices. Coming from the bay, it's hidden behind one of the Malls, at Golden Pyramid Mall – on Peace Road. The selection is limited, but all the staples are available without hassle. You just have to make it through the crowds of vendor agents to get there.

• Carrefour Express | One of the classic European shops with price tags, option to pay with credit card without disadvantages, exchange machine and ATM inside. They do have a lot of local spices and even some souvenir items, like small papyrus just for LE2.

Halal Restaurants in Sharm el-Sheikh

If you need a break from resort food try one of the local places below. If you're looking for a taste of home, Il Mercato houses a Halal McDonalds, Halal KFC, Halal Pizzas Hut and a Starbucks (Please do not support Starbucks as Starbucks supports Israel. Shun this Coffee and go for alternative brands and if possible for a Muslim owned brand.).

Na'ama Bay is amusing, especially at night, where lights of Bedouin-style and modern restaurants, café shops, and other 'bazaars' are glittering. A 10-15% service charge will be added to any bill.

• El Masrien - Offering Egyptian barbeque cuisine including Kabab, Kofta, Reyash, Nefa, Tarab & liver, all types of oriental dishes including veal shank, stuffed pigeon & stuffed duck, all types of Pasta & Rice & different types of stuffed vegetables. Alcohol free. Enjoy all types of grills. Also worth is GAD a few more doors down, look for the big red sign. Both are full of local residents.

• Fares Seafood | All kinds of seafood fresh from the Red Sea.
• Fawanes Cafe | Lebanese Halal cuisine. Good place for waterpipes; order a smaller one (Fawanes); apple one is ideal.
• Onions | Fusion food, good services and reasonable prices.
• Safsafa | Probably one of the best fish cafes in the town. A rare place where grilled calmaras are really good. However and the lobster included in the mixed seafood plate is dry.
• Tempo Cafe | Features some percentage of local residents. Waiters are uniformed in distinctive orange-and-green. Waterpipe is good, but when served for several people (with many hoses) and the menu price may be multiplied by number of people--ask in advance; maybe it's just a scam.
• Indian restaurants | There are 3 Indian Halal restaurants in Sharm. One is Maharaja, on the beach pathway. Other two are India House Restaurants, of (Thai) Chain hotels. One is the old market and another one, opposite little Buddha, on the road near the taxi stand. Can get Indian menus.

Muslim Friendly Hotels

There are mostly 3-6 star all-inclusive hotels and there are very few (if any) budget options. Generally it is best to knock a star off the official rating to avoid disappointment. Renting privately owned apartments is economical, but they vary in facilities.

Nabq or Montaza area it is quite a distance to the north (12 kilometers) from Na'ama Bay and Old Market, so you either are tied to their all-included ration, or need to pay for taxi for every dinner in Na'ama (although taxi is affordable from most of hotels, or take the hotel courtesy bus). You do have Soho Plaza and the 'Mall Strip' of Nabq area of all inclusive Hotels.

For hotels in Na'ama Bay and their territory is frequently crossed by a pedestrian street, so the beach may appear across the street from the hotel building--obviously affecting privacy even when using a hotel's pool. The Zebra crossings on the primary streets are best ignored as the drivers have no idea what they are for! Remember to check your choice out on Google maps to see if it is really near a beach as some are set back from the water some distance, although they do have shuttle buses (some of which incur local fees).
