The Sharm El Sheikh City Guides answer what most resort guests never get round to asking: where Egyptians eat, which reefs you can swim to straight from the beach, how to climb Mount Sinai for sunrise and where the evening goes after Naama Bay. Each guide is a short, opinionated list with the reason to go, what to order or bring and a practical tip for every place, and it opens in your browser the moment you pay.

Three places from the guides
Mahony Restaurant
Naama Bay, just off the promenade
A lantern-lit stone courtyard where the fish arrives baked in a salt crust and is cracked open at the table with a bit of ceremony. Mezze comes on the house. From the food guide.
Jabal Mousa
St Catherine, about three hours from Sharm
Mount Sinai, climbed in the dark to reach the top for sunrise, usually with a Bedouin guide and a camel for part of the way if your legs need it. Pack warm clothes for the summit. From the things to do guide.
Eel Garden
Dahab, north of the Lighthouse area
A gentle sandy slope just off the shore where garden eels rise out of the seabed like a field of grass. Shallow, calm and an easy first snorkel. From the day trips guide.
Plan your days in Sharm El Sheikh
On a first day, snorkel the house reef at Ras Nasrani or El Fanar from the things to do guide, watch the sun go down from Farsha Cafe in the nightlife guide and eat fish in the Old Market with the food guide. For day two, use the day trips guide for a boat or road trip to Ras Mohammed, then spend the evening around Soho Square. Save a slow or windy day for the budget guide’s free sights, the Sharm El-Sheikh Museum and an afternoon of skating or bowling from the family guide.
