- Many beaches are coral-fringed, so water shoes are highly recommended to avoid sharp rocks and sea urchins.
- Blue hole in Dahab is accessible as a day trip, but verify the snorkeling safety conditions beforehand.
- Rely on the local microbuses for cheap transport along the main road, but confirm the fare before getting in.
- Alcohol is expensive outside of all-inclusive resorts, so duty-free shopping upon arrival is a common strategy.

Sharm El Sheikh is a globally renowned tourism destination situated at the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula on the Red Sea coast. Originally a small fishing village, it underwent rapid development starting in the 1970s to become a premier international resort city. The city is officially designated as the 'City of Peace' due to the high number of international peace summits and diplomatic conferences held there. Geographically, its position at the entrance of the Gulf of Aqaba makes it a strategic point for maritime traffic in the region. The surrounding waters, particularly within the nearby Ras Mohammed National Park, contain some of the world's most biodiverse coral reef systems. In addition to being a world-class scuba diving hub, the city serves as a major center for international diplomacy, hosting global events such as the 2022 UN Climate Change Conference (COP27). Modern architecture dominates the landscape, featuring luxury hotels, extensive malls, and entertainment districts like Naama Bay.
