The Red Sea Riviera/Sinai region
The Red Sea Riviera is the nearest tropical sea to Europe and is the coastline mainly on the east side of the beautiful Sinai peninsular, stretching from the far north of the Gulf of Aqaba down to the very tip past Sharm el Sheikh at Ras Mohammed. This coastline takes in some beautiful beaches, coral, marine life, Bedouin settlements, villages, towns and some National Parks, unlike we know them in England. The National Parks such as Ras Gallum, Nabq, Tiran and Sanafir protectorates and Ras Mohammed are protected areas of natural coral and superb marine life. This area was once mainly desert bridging the gap from the sea to the magnificent Sinai mountains.
The terrain from the Red Sea varies between towns, villages, desert & spectacular mountain scenery especially beautiful as dusk comes along and the sun sets.
Travelling from the far north to the south, Taba (Arabic: طابا), is a small Egyptian village near the northern tip of the Gulf of Aqaba, the northernmost resort of Egypt's Red Sea Riviera. Past the Fjord (a breathtaking view) Nuweiba is reached followed by Dahab, the site of the famous Blue Hole and a bustling town. Passing the Dahab caves, mangroves and shrimp farms eventually Nabq is reached. By Nabq, the beautiful Sharks Bay presents itself with spectacular views of Tiran Island, some believe the biblical location where the Red Sea was parted, then on to Naama Bay, Sharm Old Town, El Hadaba and finally to Ras Mohammed National Park.
A visit to St Katherine’s Monastery, a place of pilgrimage, at the foot of Mount Sinai where, from the burning bush, God spoke to Moses is very worthwhile. Or what about a pilgrimage to the summit of Mount Sinai, the mountain of the Ten Commandments, maybe overnight to catch the sunrise in the morning? Snorkelling trips out to coral reefs by boat can be arranged along with diving courses, a popular sport here. The all year round sunshine makes this a perfect place to visit any time of the year. A light breeze is often present on hot days taking away any intense heat.
Sharm El Sheikh / Nabq Bay area
ON OUR DOORSTEP: Nabq is right on our doorstep. A short walk towards the sea reveals views to Tiran Island and a number of private beaches, kept to a good standard with use of amenities available for the low cost of a brolly, beds and towels. We have a special deal with Sea Club, Sharks Bay and Regency where for £2.50 per day, we can deliver you, use all the facilities on offer including sunbeds & towels, snorkelling etc and then collect you at the end of the day. Kite surfing in Nabq is amazing with about 2 square km of shallow flat water with sandy bottom...this is the perfect place for beginners, improvers & experts alike.
We can offer mountain bike hire for £2 per day, why not explore the beautiful Red Sea coastline, stop for a light refreshment , do a little shopping or bike down to the Nabq protectorate?
A water park is available for kids at La Strada in Nabq within easy reach at the Park Inn opposite Radisson SAS in. This is open to the public at a reasonable charge and is a good one, & features one of the most impressive Aqua Parks, the Aqua Bast with slides, pools for adults and children, wave pool and many more facilities. We will shortly be able to offer a water park for use on our doorstep.
Tennis courts are available nearby at several resorts.
Several places to do your supply shopping are available within easy reach by microbus in Nabq at La Strada
FOR THE SNORKELLERS: Snorkel to your heart's content anywhere along the red sea coast. The coral and marine life under the water is absolutely stunning. Even just wading in the shallows with a simple mask looking under reveals a whole new world. if the sea is not breaking to rough on the coral, swim over to the deep with a snorkel, mask & fins and experience something totally different. Snorkelling trips can be organised from G-one to many places including Tiran Island, where you will have an enjoyable boat trip, lunch on board and and several opportunities to snorkel in several places.
FOR THE DIVERS AMONGST YOU: We can organise diving trips to suit varying needs through our resident friends Sarah & Simon who are offering preferential rates, please ask for details. Opposite us, in the Straits of Tiran, several Coral reefs can be seen and visited between the beaches & Tiran Island namely Jackson, Gordon, Woodhouse & Thomas. On Gordon Reef can be seen quite prominently, the shipwreck of Loullia, a Russion barge. The shipwreck Million Hope can easily be dived from here, visible from the Nabq coastline on the edge of the shore coral where it goes deep. The shipwrecks Carina, Dunraven, Kingston & Thistlegorm are all accessible from this area allbeit some drive or boat trip to get to the dive sites.
A WRECK OF A DIFFERENT KIND: Just the other side of Tiran Island on Saudi Arabia soil is the wreck of a PBY-5/BuNo. 48397 sea plane run on to the beach reef, while under machine-gun fire from Bedouins on Mar. 22, 1960, and was abandoned with 300 bullet holes in the fuselage. This can be seen from some boat trips.
FOR YOU KITE SURFERS: The new Kitesurfing resort is amazing with about 2 square km of shallow flat water with sandy bottom...this is the perfect place for beginners, improvers and experienced alike. The wind is cross on shore and super consistent making for one of the most ideal and safest learner spots in the world! The best wind is between January and May with a steady 20 knots blowing most morning between 0800 and 1400. kitesurfing courses and equipment rentals are available at this best kitesurfing spot. The main bay offers flat shallow water, perfect for beginners and improvers or the more advanced riders looking for super easy conditions to practice new tricks. A short distance to the North of the centre, accessible from land or by riding upwind is a great WAVE SPOT in a bay with waves rolling in to a shore break. Maybe not a real wave spot, but very different from what you are used to in Egypt, and a nice playground for the advanced rider.
FURTHER AFIELD: Naama Bay is a 15 minute taxi or microbus ride away where further restaurants, bars, beaches and shops can be found along with numerous dive centres & beach resorts. This is the modern hub of tourism with loads to do along with a great feel and atmosphere everywhere you go.

22.7.08 Hi Pete Just to let you know we had a wonderful 3 weeks in your appt. It was everything we hoped it would be. The staff were exceptionally helpful, always cheerful and smiling. We would have no hesitation in recommending yourselves to friends etc. Again I can't emphasise enough what a wonderful time we had in G1, we would be back in a second but for the small problem of money!!!! Got millions of photos to help us remember as well as a dvd of one of the dives we did, this should sustain us over the long winter months!!!! Alan & Susan
12.4.2008. Hi Greta & Pete, Just to say thank you for the lovely time we had in your apartment. The children were in their elements in the pool which they had to themselves most of the time! The admin staff are fantastic - so helpful. We feel very sad & depressed that our lovely holiday has come to an end and back to work tomorrow. Thank you once again Kind regards Sarah.
10.1.2008 Happy new year!!! Sorry I have not been in contact sooner so thank you for the wonderful stay we had in your apartment in August 2007. Absolutely speechless and it was a nice break after the wedding. We were hoping to return again this year around the same time but have no solid dates booked, probably the last 2 or 3 weeks in August. Please could you let me know if these dates are free? Hope to hear from you soon Kind regards Christine & Scott
27.12.2007 We are well and truly back now in the cold UK after our time in Sharm. Just wanted to thank you very much. The apartment was great, weather was awesome, and we had an excellent time. Many thanks and happy new year! Kathryn and Nick.
Aug 2007 One word, Fantastic !! We had a wonderful time and wanted to say thanks for letting us have the opportunity to rent G1 from you for the 9 days. The time went so quickly, such a wonderful way to chill out in the hot sunny weather. It was raining when we left and raining when we arrived back !!! All the staff were very friendly so please pass on our thanks and lets hope we can go back again sometime in the not too distant future !! Thanks again Ian Linda and Ben.
James and i had a fantastic holiday, the apartment was of a very high standard and we found the staff extremely helpful. We met some great people and enjoyed our 10 day trip enormously. In fact we have been talking of returning, perhaps in September.Thank you for making our trip one of the best we have had, the guide book was especially helpful and extremely thorough!! As too was the comments book. The only feedback i have is positive, we really did enjoy our stay and the weather was fantastic. Thank you Rachel & James.
Fell in love with Egypt, people are lovely. Apartment was the best, perfectly located on the corner of the ground floor, right by the pool which felt like our own and well equipped. Great holiday which we all enjoyed. Weather fantastic.
