Sharm El Sheikh Travel Guide - Attractions

 
 
 
Old City: this area presents a more traditional flavour of Egypt with its lively markets and bazaars, non-tourist oriented restaurants and variety of street vendors.
Naama Bay: is the centre of Sharm El Sheikh and a place which you will inevitably visit on a multitude of occasions during your holiday. During the day, this area is relatively quiet but as dusk approaches the eateries and coffee and tea shops fill up and a lively atmosphere is rapidly whipped up.
Monastery of St Katherine: built around a small 4th century church known as the Church of the Transfiguration, during the reign of Emperor Justinian, this fine religious structure sits amid pleasant gardens and cypress trees. It’s owned and operated by the Greek Orthodox Church.
Coloured Canyon: an altogether rich aesthetic experience is offered to those who visit the Coloured Canyon with its magnificent sandstone walls that are naturally daubed with vibrant colours such as magenta, gold, purple, red and yellow.
Feiran Oasis: Moses is alleged to have made passage through the Feiran Oasis and whether true or not, the religious significance of the area is undeniable, with ancient church ruins scattered around as testament to this point. In the centre of the oasis is the Seven Girls Monastery, a structure which dates back to the 4th century. Follow the trail through the church ruins to the top of Gebel Tehuna mountain for some fantastic views of the area.
