Why this trip
Mask, fins and a reef that begins right in front of the beach: Sharm El Sheikh on the Red Sea is a place for families where children often see the colourful underwater world for the first time. The sun shines almost always, and the water is warm. The Ras Mohamed Nature Reserve at the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula is a protected area with corals and fish, an impressive destination for older children. Diving bases such as Sea Life Sharm or Circle Divers offer discover scuba dives for teenagers, and smaller children experience the sea from the beach or from a boat.
If you want to experience the desert, you can plan a safari with El Sherif Safari. Among the hotels, the Mövenpick Resort Sharm el Sheikh, the SUNRISE Arabian Beach Resort and the Four Seasons Resort are worth naming. The country data name October to April as the best time. With a flight of about 4 to 4.5 hours, the journey is quite doable.
Dahab, El Gouna, Hurghada and Luxor lie as neighbours in Egypt, but for children a fixed base by the sea is enough.
