Nearby this area, you will find Shark's Bay, which has many diving centres. Diving is a wonderful experience in Sharm since you will find yourself once you dive in the warm waters of the Red Sea, into a magnificent world of colours and shapes.
The reefs of Tiran and Ras Mohammed are considered to be two of the best diving-places in the world. You can reach them by boat from Sharm in two hours. Ras Mohammed is the name of the southern part of the Sinai Peninsula. There the Gulf of Aqaba meets the Gulf of Suez. There is a lot of plankton in the water there and so the amount of fish is unbelievable. Huge schools of Barracudas, Sharks and Murrays can be seen there every day. The weak point of its popularity is that you may find up to 20 boats at the same reef. If you take a daily-boat you may enjoy your dive in the company of fifty other divers.
Experienced divers book a diving safari. This way you can avoid the crowd at the popular spots and you have the chance to dive in more beautiful and interesting reefs than you would do on a normal daytrip. For what is worth, the cost of a diving safari equals daily diving and also saves you a lot of tension. Apart from diving though there are plenty of places to check out when you are visiting Sharm El Sheikh, including Sharm el-Moiya, which is a small harbour with boats and yachts laying around. Anyone who is into shopping should check out the Sharm El-Sheikh mall, which features a collection of foreign and local items, like jewellery, leather goods, art, clothing, pottery and publications.
