12 days in Sharm El Sheikh Itinerary

An enviable location on the southern end of the Sinai Peninsula and year-round warm weather boost tourism in Sharm El Sheikh and make it one of Egypt's premier travel destinations.

Al Mustafa Mosque and St. Catherine's Monastery will appeal to history buffs. You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Parasailing & Paragliding and King Tut Museum. Change things up with these side-trips from Sharm El Sheikh: Dahab (Coral Reefs, Wadi Zaghara, &more), Bibliotheca Alexandrina El Gouna (in El Gouna) and Hurghada (Mosque El Mina Masjid, Omo Gamaar, &more). There's much more to do: stroll through Ras Mohamed Camping, examine the collection at Sharm Papyrus Museum, join the crowd at Ghibli Raceway, and enjoy the sand and surf at Mangrove Beach.
