Naama Bay
The most famous and developed of Sharm’s bays is Naama Bay, where pioneering hotels, apartments and diving centres first took up residence when Sinai returned to Egypt.
No one imagined at the time that the handful of original dive centres and primitive hotels would, 20 years later, become a part of the bustling commercial centre that is now home to the likes of McDonalds, Pizza Hut, KFC, Perched on the southern-most tip of the Sinai Peninsula, Sharm is actually a series of bays nestled in between graceful mountain ranges offering a picturesque backdrop that mesmerizes local and international tourists alike.
For years, the centre of Sharm El-Sheikh’s nightlife has been the Sanafir complex, the hotel-cum-entertainment zone that has been home to Bus Stop, Sharm’s coolest pub turned dance club and the now-defunct roof-top café, a past favourite for mellow star gazers and shisha lovers.
Sanafir has now been transformed into Pacha, as in the Ibiza Pacha franchise, complete with Red Cherry Logo, wild house parties, pulsing techno music and hundreds of scantily clad partiers dancing till dawn on the huge outdoor dance floor, inside swimming pools and on top of stages and platforms scattered throughout.
Not only does Naama bay have Pacha but also Little Buddha for clubbing, along with Hard Rock Cafe and a TGI Fridays, the famous Camel Bar with new terrace for cocktails and also the Camel roof terrace. Plus the once weekly packed out club sessions at "Dolce A Vita" just down the road in Hadaba.

"The Red Sea Riviera is two-faced for all the right reasons - above the water, smart resorts bathe in year-round sunshine while below, an underwater paradise teams with shoals of tropical fish."
When you picture Egypt what springs to mind? Rippling desert sands? Majestic pyramids? The River Nile? Well think again, because these days it’s all about the beaches. A relaxing alternative to the fabled treasures of ancient Egypt, the fashionable resorts that make up the Red Sea Riviera are now considered to be the place to holiday. You’re talking luxurious hotel complexes, golden sandy beaches, and, of course, diving centres. Most of the resorts are renowned for their living coral reefs, and scuba diving aficionados from around the globe come to explore the underwater paradise. Above water, the soft stretches of sandy beach are perfect for long, lazy days unwinding in the hot sun. But don't think it's all about sunshine and diving. There’s lots more going on. See the coast from another angle as you whiz past on a banana boat. Explore the narrow back streets and bazaars of the old quarters. Or venture farther afield and visit some of Egypt’s ancient sites. In the evenings, meanwhile, things are low-key, with entertainment largely consisting of local Egyptian acts, but a visit into the bustling popular Naama Bay will provide you with an abundance of world wide chains, with the like of Hard Rock cafe, Little Buddha and TGI Fridays to name but a few. |
