Tours to Sharm El Sheikh — Resort in Egypt
Sharm El Sheikh is located on the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula, right where the Red Sea splits into the Gulf of Aqaba and the Gulf of Suez. The international airport is just 10–15 minutes from the main hotel area, offering one of the shortest transfer times among major destinations. There are currently no direct flights from Ukraine, so access is available via flights departing from Moldova, Poland, Romania, or other European airports.
The main reason travelers choose Sharm even in winter is its climate: the sea remains warm virtually year-round, and air temperatures rarely drop below 20°C even in January. This sets a Sharm El Sheikh getaway apart from Mediterranean resorts — the season practically never closes here, whereas in summer the heat can become extreme.
Best time to visit Sharm El Sheikh
From October to April, the resort offers comfortable temperatures (24–28°C), calm seas, and minimal rainfall — making this period the prime high season for those escaping European winters. July and August bring intense heat up to 38–40°C, when even a brief daytime walk can be challenging, and most time is spent in the water or under the shade of hotel grounds.
Diving and the Coral Reef
Sharm El Sheikh is a world-renowned diving hub, and its vibrant reef system — rather than just the beaches — is the primary reason visitors return. At many resort properties, the reef lies so close to shore that exploring the underwater world requires no boat trip — just a mask and fins right off the beach.
For experienced divers, the resort opens access to Ras Mohammed National Park with its vertical reef walls, the Straits of Tiran featuring four legendary reefs along the Saudi Arabian border, and the wreck of the British vessel SS Thistlegorm — one of the world's most famous wreck dives. The hotel areas are broadly divided into Naama Bay, the historic center with a lively promenade and nightlife; Nabq Bay, a newer district with wide beaches and wind conditions ideal for kitesurfing; and Ras Um Sid, home to luxury resorts and the area's finest house reef.

Excursions to the Desert and Cairo
Beyond the hotel zones lies a completely different side of Egypt — the Sinai Desert. The Colored Canyon impresses visitors with its striped rock walls, while St. Catherine's Monastery at the foot of Mount Sinai draws travelers ready to climb before dawn to catch the sunrise at the summit. Jeep and quad bike safaris to Bedouin camps for dinner under the stars are also popular choices.
For those visiting for two weeks or longer, it is worth dedicating a day to a day trip flight to Cairo to see the Pyramids of Giza and the Egyptian Museum, or traveling to nearby Dahab, a laid-back diving town home to the famous Blue Hole. Last-minute tour packages to Sharm El Sheikh often include options for these combined excursion programs, so it is recommended to check availability in advance.
