Sharm el-Sheikh Travel Essentials

The Jewel of the Sinai — Red Sea diving, desert mountains, and year-round sunshine

Sharm el-Sheikh sits at the southern tip of Egypt's Sinai Peninsula where the Red Sea's two gulfs meet. It's one of the world's top diving and snorkeling destinations — the Ras Mohammed National Park has some of the richest marine life on Earth. Beyond the water, the dramatic Sinai desert offers Mount Sinai sunrise treks and Bedouin culture. All-inclusive resorts make Sharm incredibly affordable, and with 360+ days of sunshine, it's a year-round destination just under 6 hours from London.

Do I need a visa for Sharm el-Sheikh?

You can get a FREE 15-day Sinai-only visa on arrival — this covers Sharm el-Sheikh, Dahab, Mount Sinai, and the Sinai coast. If you want to visit Cairo, Luxor, or Hurghada, you need the standard Egypt visa ($25). The free visa makes Sharm one of the cheapest beach destinations to enter.

Can I visit Cairo from Sharm el-Sheikh?

Yes, but it's a commitment. Fly Cairo-Sharm (1h, $60-130 on EgyptAir) or take the bus (7h overnight, $10-16). Day trips aren't practical. Better to split your trip: 2-3 days Cairo, then fly to Sharm for the beach portion.
