Usually when you plan a trip to Egypt, you're thinking about a visit to the Valley of the Kings, or Luxor, or maybe even Alexandria. But not all of the vacation destinations in Egypt are related to these fantastic ancient wonders. Tucked away at the tip of the Sinai Peninsula is the gorgeous seaside town of Sharm el Sheikh, a port city that is quickly becoming a preferred destination for travelers who enjoy fine hotels, great beaches, and lots and lots of sunshine.

Sharm el Sheikh is a wonderful aquatic playground, and is known as one of the world's finest locations for diving, because of its pristine corral reefs, exotic shipwrecks, and countless species of marine life in which to study and explore. Sharm el Sheikh is also a great vacation spot if you want to do some fishing, or some sailing, or just want to lie around in the sand.

The hotels in Sharm el Sheikh hotels are many and varied, and you'll be certain to find the right accommodations, whether you stay at the Iberotel Grand Sharm Hotel or the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Sharm el Sheikh. Many of these hotels are world-class, earning up to five stars for their hospitality, service, and luxury. And the cafes, restaurants, bars, and lounges are enough to keep you busy in the evenings during your stay.

If you're looking for a more grand adventure, you might consider taking a night-time starwatching camel ride out to the desert, or take a day trip to Mount Sinai, or a tour out to Petra in Jordan to see the ancient city. It makes no difference how you choose, because Sharm el Sheikh will fulfill your holiday dreams.
