Frequently Asked Questions
Which are the best beaches and bays in Sharm El-Sheikh?
Naama Bay is the lively one, lined with cafés and shallow, bathwater-warm shallows that make swimming effortless. For a quieter day, head to Ras Um Sid, where the reef begins almost at the waterline and the snorkelling is superb. Divers make for the coves of Ras Mohammed, home to the clearest water on the Red Sea.
When is the best time to swim?
March, April and May hit the sweet spot: the sea has warmed up, the air is hot without being punishing, and the water turns glass-clear. Midsummer can be scorching, so spring is the loveliest stretch for both swimming and lingering over the reefs.
How long is the flight from Istanbul to Sharm El-Sheikh?
A direct flight runs about 2 hours 28 minutes, so you can leave in the morning and have your feet in the Red Sea by lunch. Fares start from 3,147 TL.
Do I need a visa for Egypt?
Turkish citizens get a visa on arrival; you pick up the sticker visa at the airport and walk straight through. Just make sure your passport has enough remaining validity.
