Sharm el Sheikh Holidays
Sharm El Sheikh used to be nothing but a small and fairly insignificant Bedouin village, in a desert peninsula backed by rugged mountains. There was no mineral wealth, and it had no trading importance. Nowadays, Sharm El Sheikh is an extremely popular holiday destination, particularly with British tourists. It boasts a string of luxury resorts, some of the best diving spots in the world, breathtaking natural beauty and arguably one of the most interesting historical sites in the world in Mt. Sinai, where Moses is said to have received the Ten Commandments.
There is also a wealth of fabulous beaches, and the sun burns brightly all year round, so Sharm El Sheikh is as good an option in winter as it is during peak summer holiday season. On top of all that, it’s easy to come by affordable Sharm El Sheikh holidays these days, and the flight time from the UK is only five and a half hours. All in all, “Sharm” ticks a lot of boxes, whether you are looking for luxury or affordability, or both!
