Where do we go in The Red Sea?
Sharks Bay

Overview
Sharks Bay's busy nightlife, ultra-swish hotels and sculptured promenades come as a bit of a shock - you are, after all, at the tip of the Sinai peninsula here, just a sand dune away from the desert. Yet here, at the Red Sea coast, there's a rich stew of nightclubs, discos and bars, glowing and shimmering away every evening like an oasis on the coastal strip between here and Sharm.
A former sleepy fishing village, Sharks Bay has everything that outdoorsy types are looking for during their holiday. Hotels offer a decent menu of night-time entertainment: belly-dancing shows, open-air parties (notably at the Sanafir Hotel) and sufi dancing (at Fantasia) all attract the crowds. Clubs at neighbouring Sharm, like Hard Rock Café, Bus Stop and Mojo's are friendly - and usually get busy after 11.
The strip of coast, running north from Sharm through to Ras Um Sid, Naama Bay and Sharks Bay is one continuous coastal entertainment complex, with upmarket hotels, malls, and restaurants. Indeed, the fish restaurant on the beach at Sharks Bay is superb.
The Sharks Bay development grew because the area is blessed with great beaches and excellent diving - that it's now home to a modern, friendly Egypt resort only adds to its attraction.
