Last minute holidays to Sharm el Sheikh

Sandy beaches, shipwreck dives and traditional bazaars.

Come face-to-face with tropical fish or just laze on the beach on a last-minute holiday to Sharm El Sheikh.

Pick a beach hotel

Sharm el Sheikh has more beaches — and beach hotels — than you can shake a stick at. Sharm el Maya in the south is a top choice for snorkelling, with coral reefs just a few metres offshore. Sporty Na’ama Bay is a livelier stretch, meanwhile, with a whole medley of watersports for both adults and children. And under the sea the action doesn't stop. Dive schools are on hand to deliver first-timers and pros out to the shipwrecks, reefs and caves that decorate the coast.

Uncover Ancient Egypt

Luxor — home to ancient Thebes and the Temple of Karnak — might be a three-hour drive from Sharm el Sheikh, but the sights are of the once-in-a-lifetime variety. It’s also close to the Valley of the Kings, where Tutankhamun’s tomb was discovered.
