Sharm el Sheikh - Tips for Finding the True Charms of Sharm  

by Kate Dunstan
Sharm el Sheikh has been a holiday-maker magnet for a long time now. This highly developed tourist resort has been accused of saturation in recent years, but for those who know how to find them the original charms of Sharm are still very much alive. Choosing the right hotel is key to getting the best from the popular holiday spot, so here are some top tips for making the decision:
Be clear about what you want from your holiday
Sharm el Sheikh is a place of massive contradictions. Whether seeking action or relaxation, water or desert activities, luxury or affordability, there'll be a wide selection on offer - and at varying standards and prices. It's easy to get overwhelmed, so work out top holiday priorities to stay on track.
Head to Na'ama Bay for beaches and diving
Much of the action in Sharm revolves around Na'ama Bay, where the beaches and diving are at their best. It won't necessarily offer privacy and seclusion, but it will offer sunshine, underwater excitement and Las Vegas style thrills at night.
Find peace and quiet out of town
Sharm isn't generally a quiet holiday option, but time away from the crowds is more likely to be found on the outskirts. Sharm el Sheikh's El Hadaba district offers a more laid back alternative, as does the town of Dahab to the north.

Explore Sharm's Bedouin roots in the desert
There isn't much left of the sleepy Bedouin village that was once Sharm el Sheikh, but tourists can still get a taste of the old ways with a camel trek into the desert and a meal with the locals under the stars.
Check out online hotel reviews
With so many Sharm el Sheikh hotels to choose from standards understandably vary. A good way to narrow down the selection is through user reviews. Holiday-makers can get a true feel for a place and see if it fits with expectations by having a look at what recent guests have said.
Compare prices for a good deal
Travellers will quickly be able to see how their preferred hotels stack up against the competition by using an agent's website to compare prices for cheap hotels online. Some sites will have the facility to search by hotel name or using best price filters.
