Sharm el sheikh
Tucked between the desert and the deep blue sea, the best things to do in Sharm el Sheikh center on Sinai sands or Red Sea reefs. Scuba divers flock to Ras Mohammed National Park and beyond, making Sharm el Sheikh a popular spot to get your PADI (or SSI) open water or advanced certificate. The desert offers everything from ATV adventures to camel rides, Bedouin feasts, and stargazing. Head north to Mt. Sinai and 6th-century St. Catherine’s Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, for a mesmerizing sunrise climb.
