Africa & Indian Ocean Gala Ceremony 2011

16 September 2011 – Sharm el Sheikh

Africa & Indian Ocean

Destination

Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt




Sharm el-Sheikh is a popular seaside resort in Sinai, Egypt. An increasing number of visitors holiday there every year, attracted by the long, fine-sand beaches, beautiful weather and the various leisure and sports activities on offer.

Visitors love to lie and roast in the sun, swim in the extraordinarily clear waters, windsurf, snorkel and scuba dive. The seabed close to the coast is like some gigantic coral aquarium, home to coral grouper, Napoleon wrasse, parrotfish, butterfly fish, map angelfish, threadfins and scorpion fish.

Luxury hotels with swimming pools have flourished along the coast. They offer all the facilities, including plenty of sports and leisure activities, demanded by an international clientele who make for the resort summer and winter. Highly qualified instructors offer an introduction to scuba diving for those wishing to swap the snorkel for a tank. Those already familiar with the sport can make the most of the wonderful “drop-offs” and night dives.

After sunset, visitors have the choice of touring the shops, which stay open quite late and offer the usual souvenirs, or of frequenting the café terraces strung out along the main road running parallel with the beach. Those not worn out by their day of sun and sand can head off to one of the numerous hotel discos.
