If you would like to rent a holiday apartment in Sharm El-Sheikh, the decision begins with your preferred holiday focus: the Red Sea coast and coral reefs shape the destination, while the visitor areas differ from one another. This allows you to tailor your accommodation search to the sea, resort time, going out or a nature excursion.

Sharm El-Sheikh between the coast and resort life

Sharm El-Sheikh is located on the Red Sea coast at the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt. From a former fishing village and military base, the destination developed into a strongly tourism-oriented holiday and conference city. The coast and coral reefs are among the defining features of the Sharm El-Sheikh experience.

Areas to consider when searching for accommodation

Naama Bay, Sharks Bay, Nabq Bay, Hadaba and the Old Market area serve as points of reference when searching. These names describe different visitor areas in and around Sharm El-Sheikh, not necessarily formally defined administrative units.

Those who want to prioritise going out, strolling, shopping and cafés can consider Naama Bay or the Old Market area. Sharks Bay is more commonly associated with resort comfort and reef experiences, while Nabq Bay is associated with larger resort complexes. The accommodation search should therefore first be narrowed down according to the preferred area and the planned mix of going out, resort time and sea experiences. Whether you are looking for a holiday apartment, holiday home or hotel can then be selected to suit this search direction.

Sea, nature excursion and arrival

The nearby Ras Mohammed National Park lies outside the actual urban area and complements the stay with coral reefs, mangroves, desert landscapes, saltwater lakes and coastal scenery. This makes it possible to combine coastal and sea experiences with resort time and a nature excursion; the specific location of the accommodation remains a separate search criterion.

Sharm El-Sheikh International Airport is located in the immediate vicinity of the resort and is a central arrival point. You can take this proximity into account as an arrival factor when choosing the area for your stay, without deriving a specific transfer time for individual areas from it.
