Classes & Workshops in Sharm El Sheikh

If you’re spending time in Sharm El Sheikh and want more than just snorkeling or lounging by the Red Sea, check out some of the classes and workshops here. It’s an easy way to get under the skin of the place and meet locals too.

You might try a dive course at one of the dive centers around Naama Bay, where they’ll guide you through the basics and share insider spots,trust me, some of the best coral reefs are just a boat ride away. Or how about a cooking class? A few small studios in Hadaba let you learn real Egyptian dishes, like stuffed vine leaves or fresh falafel. There’s something special about tasting food you’ve had a hand preparing.

And if you’re here in the cooler months, say November through March, you can join some yoga or meditation workshops overlooking the sea. It’s not unusual to find sessions hosted on terraces where the sunset adds a perfect backdrop.

Don’t miss the traditional Bedouin crafts workshops either. It’s a chance to try weaving or pottery with local artisans, and it feels like a genuine connection to the Sinai culture. Here’s a tip: Book these through your hotel or local cafes for smaller, more personal groups rather than big tourist packages. It’ll make a big difference in how you experience Sharm El Sheikh.
