How to visit Sharm El Sheikh

Sharm El Sheikh sits at the southern tip of Sinai and is a world-famous dive destination, with large reefs in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran. Resorts are plentiful and well equipped, ideal for holidays with children. A little over an hour north is Dahab, a laid-back town whose Blue Hole is a famous site; non-divers can snorkel along its edge. Mount Sinai and St Catherine’s Monastery can be reached from Sharm or Dahab for a night climb and sunrise.

Sinai tips

Carry your passport: some roads have checkpoints.
Deep diving at the Blue Hole is dangerous and only for qualified divers; snorkelling is enough to enjoy it.
Mount Sinai is cold at night: bring warm layers and a head torch.
Do not touch coral or feed fish in protected areas.

Sunrise on Mount Sinai

Mount Sinai (Jebel Musa) is sacred to Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The climb usually starts around midnight along the camel path and steps, two to three hours to reach the summit for sunrise. At its foot, St Catherine’s Monastery is one of the oldest continuously used Christian monasteries, and the area is a World Heritage Site. The route needs moderate fitness, good shoes and warm clothes.

Climbing tips

It is cold at night; in winter close to freezing.
You can ride a camel part of the way, but the last steps are on foot.
Monastery visiting hours are limited and set on the day.
Bring a head torch, snacks and water.

Notes for the Red Sea

Boat days, snorkelling and diving depend on wind and waves, and boats adjust routes. Hotels vary widely, so we explain location, beach and who each suits before you choose.
