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.

St. Catherine's Monastery and Mosque El Mina Masjid will appeal to history buffs. You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Coral Reefs and Parasailing & Paragliding. Change things up with these side-trips from Sharm El Sheikh: Dahab (Wadi Zaghara, WICKEDiCANDY, &more), Hurghada (Omo Gamaar, Selkhet Papyrus, &more) and Bibliotheca Alexandrina El Gouna (in El Gouna). There's lots more to do: stop by Mall Darya, take an in-depth tour of King Tut Museum, pause for some serene contemplation at The Heavenly Cathedral, and take in the spiritual surroundings of Al Mustafa Mosque.
