Sharm el-Sheikh is a resort on the Sinai Peninsula – for the geographically challenged, between the ‘fingers’ of the Red Sea. It is now best known as a resort but it has also hosted many peace talks, and has a host of conference centres. A stay in a Sharm el-Sheikh serviced flat will guarantee you good weather, with less than five inches of rainfall a year. Unless you enjoy very hot weather, though, you may wish to book your Sharm el-Sheikh apartment rental in the winter months, when the temperature is in the seventies and eighties, rather than the staggering hundred plus of August.

Sharm el-Sheikh has really only been a premium tourist area since the Sixties, but it is now one of the most sought after destinations in the world. Your Sharm el-Sheikh city centre (center) apartment will place you at the heart of its vibrant nightlife, with sushi bars, restaurants and clubs to suit everyone. Shopping for souvenirs of your Sharm el-Sheikh holiday rental is easy, with stalls selling traditional Bedouin crafts to be found around the city.

Out of town a little and towards the tip of the peninsula, is the Nabq Managed Source Protected Area, which is a huge area of mangrove swamp, dunes and coral reefs, where indigenous birds and animals can be kept safe. A trip out to here, or to the nearby Ras Mohammed Park, from your Sharm el-Sheikh short term apartment will give you a good idea of what the area was like before men got here, which was in antiquity, as it has always been an important strategic place.

One thing to remember when planning trips out from your Sharm el-Sheikh holiday let to make the most of your holiday in Egypt, is that this resort is in Asia, whereas the rest of Egypt is in Africa. You will need a visa to visit the pyramids on the western shore of the Red Sea; these are easily available from the airport.

The reef off Sharm el-Sheikh is one of the most amazing a scuba diver will ever see, as the pounding currents of the peninsula has carved it into stunning cliffs and coral gardens. Sharks are occasionally seen in these waters, but by diving with a reputable company, which are plentiful in the area, you will return intact to your Sharm el-Sheikh aparthotel, with the most amazing memories of a dive in a million.
