CHEAP HOLIDAY SHARM-EL-SHEIKH

Heralded as 'The City Of Peace', Sharm-el-Sheikh is one of the foremost diving centres in the world. Here you'll find indigenous Bedouins with colourful tents, mountains and sea all co-existing in harmony.

There are many diving sites along the 10 mile stretch of beach between Sharm el-Sheikh and Ras Nusrani. The 2 best spots are the reefs of Tiran and Ras Mohammed where corals can amazingly be found just a metre from the surface.

Private companies offer diving courses at all levels and it is one of the cheapest places in the world to pick up a PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) qualification.

A 3 hour trip to Mount Sinai, famous for the ancient Monastery of St. Catherine and where legend says Moses received the 10 Commandments, is well worth a visit, as is a camel trek in the Sinai Desert.
