International Restaurants in Sharm El Sheikh

Sharm El Sheikh might scream Egyptian and Middle Eastern cuisine, but if you’re craving something different, the international restaurant scene here won’t disappoint. You’ll find everything from Italian pizza that’s surprisingly authentic, to Indian dishes cooked with the right spices, not just on a tourist menu. And it’s not just about the hotels. Venture down the Old Market area or even out by Naama Bay after sunset, and you’ll spot a variety of eateries serving up reliable global eats.

One of my favorites has always been the Fish Market restaurant up near the marina for a night when you want fresh seafood Italian style with a view of the yachts. If you swing by Gulliver’s or Soho Square, they’ve got Thai, Japanese, and even Argentinian steakhouses,places where the chefs seem to actually have homeland experience. Here’s a tip: weekdays can be quieter, so you might get better service and fresher dishes. Plus, ask for the local wine options; they pair surprisingly well with international dishes when you’re willing to experiment.

So, when you’re done diving or lounging under the sun, don’t just stick to the Egyptian staples. There’s a bit of everywhere on your plate here in Sharm El Sheikh if you know where to look.
