Sharm El Sheikh: Plenty Of Fun To Be Had On Your Holiday
The beautiful Sharm el Sheikh region is popular with travellers keen on world-class diving and snorkelling, however these are only a couple of the varied activities available here. Whatever you’re into, there will be some sort of excursion or sport you can partake in during your stay. With so many fun things to do near the resorts and hotels in Sharm el Sheikh, you won’t have to go far, either.
One of the reasons people head to Sharm el Sheikh is to take it easy and unwind, and golf fits in perfectly with that plan. The only golf course in the area is the one housed in the Maritim Jolie Ville Golf Resort, one of the larger Sharm hotels in Marikha Bay. With almost 20 lakes, and many different kinds of trees, this 18-hole course is also a favourite with local exotic birds. Golfing novices, or those looking to improve their game, can learn techniques at the Jolie Ville International Golf Academy.
For a more daring day out, go quad biking amongst the dunes and plains of the Sinai desert. You can arranged to be picked up from any Sharm el Sheik hotels, which will most often be in the early morning or late afternoon so that you can experience the sunrise or sunset in the incredible desert. From the mountain vistas to the experience of meeting local Bedouins, this is a day out you’ll never forget. Naama Bay is home to many tour companies who can arrange this for you.
For the ultimate challenge, you can learn how to kitesurf. Get yourself some lessons and find out why this is fast becoming one of the most popular water sports. There are several well-reviewed kitesurfing schools in Sharm el Sheikh, many of which can be found in Naama Bay. Learn how to ride the waves using the power of the wind, and it won’t be long before you’re hooked in the adrenaline rush. It only takes a few lessons to learn the rules and techniques and then you’ll be flying high.
