Travel to Sharm el Sheikh
At the southernmost tip of the Sinai Peninsula is Sharm el Sheikh, sometimes known as Sharm, the most popular holiday destination in Egypt.
Consistently high temperatures, the clear blue waters of the Red Sea and the striking beauty of the Sinai desert make this a sure-fire holiday hit. It's also regarded as one of the best dive spots in the world, thanks to the Tiran and Ras Mohammed reefs.
