Introduction

Naama Bay is the beating heart of Sharm el-Sheikh at the southern tip of the Sinai — a crescent of golden sand backed by palms and a pedestrian street, facing the turquoise Red Sea. By day it is the gateway to the underwater world: reefs lie close inshore, with snorkellers and glass-bottom boats coming and going. At dusk the beach cafes fill with sunset-watchers as orange light floods the bay; after dark the promenade erupts with restaurants, shisha lounges, souvenir stalls and street performers. Naama is also the springboard for the Red Sea proper — dive boats leave daily for Ras Mohammed National Park, whose reefs rank among the world's finest. Sunscreen, water, and enjoy.
