Sharm el Sheikh, on the eastern Gulf of Aqaba is home to some of the best underwater adventures.

The multi-colored reefs, the fantastic array of colorful fish and the underwater activity here is some of the most spectacular in the world. The sun's rays, glistening on the azure blue waters of the Red Sea, against the backdrop of the yellow-red-brown stark Sinai desert with take your breath away.

The sheltered beaches and calm waters make it one of the best family vacation destinations and a paradise for multi-generational adventure travel holidays. Here families can enjoy the rest and relaxation of a breathtaking beach destination as well as underwater adventure geared to every level.
The shallow barrier reef, accessible from the beach, is an ideal location for snorkeling or the novice diver. Splendid red, blue, green and yellow coral towers hundred of meters deep, colorful exotic fish, moray eels more than 2 meters long and the occasional reef shark greet the underwater visitor. For non-swimmers, a glass bottom boat trip or just wading knee-deep into the shallow waters of the beach and gazing into the crystal clear waters below unveil a veritable amazing fish tank.
Though known for its underwater activities, families can enjoy a multitude of overland adventures outdoors here - desert safaris, camel trips, dinner in the desert under the star-studded sky or a trip to St. Catherine Monastery are just some of the options available.
