The Red Sea Riviera/Sinai region
Sharm El Sheikh lies on the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsular.
Climate The sun sure location with luxury apartments along the sparkling Red Sea coast make it a perfect year round holiday destination. Egypt is very hot & dry - It can reach well over 35 C between July and September. However between November & March it is warm during the day 23 C but it can be chilly in the evenings.
Money Banking could not be easier as ATM macines can be found all around Naama Bay & Old Sharm. Banks that offer money exchange include Mibank, HSBC & Credit Agricole. There are around 10 LE (Egyptian pounds) to £1. We have found as frequent travellers that withdrawing money from the local cash machine is the best way to get your foreign currency. Many banks in the UK charge for this however Nationwide offer free overseas transactions and the best daily rates compared to travel agents and bank commissions. The cost of living in Egypt is very cheap compared to the UK.
Sharm El Sheikh / Naama Bay area
Why we think you should choose Egypt Egypt is a fantastic choice if you want sun. You will hardly find a cloud in the sky all year round and is a better alternative to the Canaries during winter where they suffer from strong winds and cloudy mornings. the most popular time to visit is during winter as the days are sunny and the evenings are cool. You will find an excellent variety of things to do. Waterparks, Dolphin park, Beaches, Snokel sites, boat trips to some of the best dive sites in the world, jeep safaris and trips to the cities of Cairo and Luxor. Eating out is so cheap, you can eat like a king everyday. Some prices for comparison are; large beer in a bar in Naama bay will set you back 1.80 GBP, burger and chips 2.20 GBP, salads 1.50 GBP, 1.5 litre bottle of mineral water 50p and a three course meal is around 7 GBP.
Eating Out There are plenty of restaurants in the Delta Sharm resort with special evenings, themed nights and entertainment. In the evening Naama bay comes alive. It has an international feel by offering restaurants such as Hard Rock Cafe, Baskin Robins, KFC, Pizza Hut & McDonalds as well as numerous local restaurants serving typical Egyptian food. Old Sharm also has a wide variety of restaurants. Eating out in Sharm El Sheikh is an enjoyable experience and exceptional value for money.
Beaches Delta sharm has its own private beach in Naama Bay or there are public beaches in Naama Bay & Old Sharm, both five minutes away by local taxi or free shuttle bus. All beaches have plenty of restaurants and cafes nearby, sun loungers, parasols and children's play areas. You can also take a local glass bottom boat trip from the beach in Naama Bay.
Nightlife There are lots of bars offering outside terrace areas to enjoy a beer or two and nightclubs that are open to the small hours, the most well known being Ministry of Sound, Pasha & Hard Rock Cafe in Naama bay. Many bars put on their own Egyptian themed nights that will treat you to the joys of local folk music and belly dancing.
Shopping Have fun haggling with the locals as you barter for good value leather goods, Egyptian ornaments, Water pipes and papyrus. The biggest local market is in Old Sharm. Away from the hustle and bustle of the markets visit one of the western style shopping malls in Naama Bay.
Sightseeing Some of the excursions that can easiliy be booked through tour companies locally, Cairo & Luxor, Introductory dives, Qualified diving & Courses, Coloured canyon excursion, Monestary of St Catherine, Sunrise over Mount Sinai, Camel trip / Bedouin Evening, Quad bikes & off-road buggies, Snorkelling & Lazy day boat trips.
Snorkelling & Scuba Diving The Red Sea's clear tranquil waters and coral reefs draw diving enthusiasts back every year. Don't worry if you are a novice as there are plenty of dive schools to choose from. Some of the World's most famous dive sites such as Ras Mohammed and the wreck of the Thistlegorm await the experienced driver. The waters seperating Arabia from Africa offer a unique bio-diversity with species ranging from Turtles, sharks, hard & soft corals plus reef fish varying in shape size and colour. If you do not wish to dive it is possible to enjoy this underwater world from the surface by snorkelling from the beaches in Naama bay or Old Sharm. You could also take one of the many organised boat trips. These usually include a snorkelling guide to show you some of the best places and species as well as lunch and refreshments on board.
Spa treatments and Fitness Centre Delta Sharm has an excellent Spa and fitness facility where you can spend a day or two of your holiday being pampered. The gym area has a large selection of Cardiovascular machines as well as fixed weight machines and free weights. You can pay to use this on a daily or weekly basis. The fitness centre also has a wellness centre with hot and cold jacuzzis for you to enjoy, you can have a spa only, gym only or combined entry. On the upper level of the spa is the hair salon and beauty centre offering a wide variety of treatments.
To summarise a holiday in Sharm will suit every member of your family or group of friends. The amazing water and beauty of the sea attract the international divers, but you can also participate in boat trips, quad biking, sand-duning in the desert, Bedouin feasts, horse riding, swimming, windsurfing, water skiing and other water sports. Don't miss a chance to explore the beauty of the Sinai peninsula.
How to get there
Fly into Sharm El Sheikh International Airport.
Transfer time - 20 minutes by taxi to the Delta Sharm Resort . There are numereous taxis parked outside the airport, you can spot them as they are blue and white. We recommend that you agree the price before getting in. Taxi prices are very cheap and you should not pay more than L.E100 (egyption pounds) or £10 always start low at around L.E 30 and build up to L.E 50 / L.E 70.
Cheap flight websites like www.cheapflights.co.uk/flights/Sharm-El-Sheikh, www.easyjet.com (for Gatwick) and www.airticketcentre.co.uk have special deals to Sharm El Sheikh. www.thomsonfly.com have flights leaving 2 or 3 times a week (for 10,11 night options) or try www.travelrepublic.co.uk
We have found it cheaper to book flights as far in advance as possible as airlines are not selling late deal seats anymore. At present if you can find a flight cheaper than £250 inc taxes and fuel supplements then that is great.

Hi Adrian & Ruth, I thought I would take this opportunity to say how much I enjoyed my stay in your apartment in Delta Sharm the other week. It was ideal for me and although it was not all that warm to start with it provide a useful base for a well deserved break. Glynis was very polite and friendly and offered help if it was needed. I hope to be able to perhaps stay there again later in the year. Kind regards Linda Grave
Hi Adrian & Ruth Just to let you know that we had a great time in Sharm. The Delta Sharm complex was very nice and well maintained, and we would be happy to recommend it to others. many thanks Fatema
Just got back from 2 weeks in Egypt- One week at the Delta Sharm. I stayed in a one bedroom villa run by Adrian & Ruth booked off the holiday lettings website. The apartment was great- had everything we needed especially the washing machine which is great when travelling with children. The resort itself was gorgeous-very well maintained. We tried out many of the pools and restaurants. The food is very cheap- pizza for 17 LE, drinks 3 LE etc. My kids loved the monkeys and goats at the zoo and we loved exploring the resort. Internet is very cheap there as well 3 LE for an hour. It is at an ideal location halfway between Naama bay and Old Sharm. We found Old Sharm to be cheaper than Naama Bay. Don`t bother going into Naama Bay in the morning as most things are closed including restaurants. Taxis were cheap and plentiful-we arranged early morning taxis for trips to airport (50 LE) thru the taxi service at the gate and all were on time. We really enjoyed this resort-and I am sure you will too!!!
I wanted to say that I had a great time in Egypt! Thank you very much! The appt is beautiful, the grounds are amazing! Glynis was a good help as well. I was concerned she would be there a lot, however she allowed us our privacy, being available for contact if we needed (which we didnt) Thank you once again for a wonderful opportunity! Sarah
Hi, Adrian, We had a great holiday in Egypt, the apartment was fab, it had everything we needed to make a great holiday Thankyou. Claire & Craig Waites
