Landmark Tours in Sharm El Sheikh

If you're curious about what Sharm El Sheikh has to offer beyond its beaches and reefs, landmark tours are a great way to get a feel for the place’s past and culture. You might start with a walk through the Old Market area, where the scents of spices still fill the air and the shops have that old-world charm you don’t see in the newer resorts.

And don’t miss a visit to the Ras Mohammed National Park, not just for the natural beauty but also for its famous lighthouse and the stories behind it. It’s quieter in spring or late autumn, perfect if you want to avoid crowds.

Another favourite of mine is St. Catherine’s Monastery, even though it’s a bit of a road trip from Sharm. The desert route is worth it though; that monastery is packed with history and feels almost timeless. Quick tip: start early if you want to beat the heat and the day-trippers.

Oh, and keep an eye out for the small Bedouin villages around Dahab , they offer a beautifully simple glimpse of life here that's easy to overlook in the usual tours. Trust me, these spots will show you sides of Sharm El Sheikh few get to see.
