Leisure & Activities
Old Town
A fantastic place to pick up a bargain is in the old town market. It sells all manner of clothing and headwear as well as exotic spices which are favoured by the locals. Why not pick up all your souvenirs and holiday gifts.
Water Sports
Sharm El Sheikh is renowned for its water sports with every form of sea going activity you can think of! There’s the usual water skiing and windsurfing, but for the less active you can also take a glass-bottomed boat trip. Of course, it goes without saying, Sharm El Sheikh is a particularly excellent destination for snorkelling and scuba diving. The Red Sea is scattered with ship wrecks and is the home of stunning marine life.
Al Mustafa Mosque
This impressive building is well worth a visit if you’re interested in unique architecture. It’s simply stunning inside and out. It has a beautiful marble frontage, several minarets and a glorious dome. Inside there’s a feeling of total calm and tranquillity.
