Sharm el Sheikh is a quaint yet lively community situated on the beautiful Sinai Peninsula of the Red Sea Coast in Egypt. Boasting a simple blend of sun, sea and sand, a Sharm el Sheikh holiday is now noted for its world class diving and snorkelling locations, with sites including Thistlegorm and the mysterious Dunraven Wreck, thought to be a spy ship for Lawrence of Arabia. Sharm el Sheikh hotels are typically lavish and luxurious, and with spectacular natural surroundings, the deep blue waters of the Red Sea and the dramatic greenery of rolling mountain ranges, this Egyptian resort is indeed an Eastern treasure waiting to be discovered.
