hotel details

Sharm el Sheik is renowned for its stunning sandy beaches, and the warm waters of the Red Sea gently lapping into shore, it is a diver's paradise with some of the best underwater life in the world. The city is popular for its sulphur springs, so if you're suffering from skin or rheumatic conditions, a dip in these may help you. Any time of the year is a good time to visit Sharm el-Sheikh, but if you don't like hot temperatures, then avoid the months of June, July or August as temperatures can be a staggering 40oC and it is very hot. If you are here during this time we would advise staying out of the mid day sun. The rest of the year is very pleasant and warm, with little rainfall or inclement weather.
