trip to sharm el sheikh


Sharm el-Sheikh is a sparkling resort on the coast of the Sinai Pennisula. Just a one hour flight from Cairo takes you to the best diving sites in the world. Besides diving, there is something for everyone in this
small, but action-packed community.

Most flights come from Cairo, but you may also access Sharm el-Sheikh International Airport from London's Heathrow Airport, Paris' Charles De Gaulle Airport and Germany's Frankfurt International. A flight from New York's JFK Airport is 10.5 hours to Cairo, a 3 hour minimum layover and 50 minutes to Sharm el-Sheikh, totaling about 15 hours. For those who don't wish to sit for a 10.5 hour flight, you can break up the flying time with an alternative route of 6.5 hours for a trans-atlantic flight from JFK to Heathrow, with a minimum 4 hour layover and 5.5 hours to Sharm, for a total travel time of about 16 hours, with Germany and France about the same. The European layovers allow time to stretch your legs and breath some fresh air. But, anyway you make it, Sharm el-Sheikh is a long haul from the United States, but certainly worth the effort. Beach lovers may prefer to make Sharm their base camp on an Egyptian vacation, as the sights in Cairo and Luxor can be seen on one day excursions via Egypt Air.


1.Ras Mohamad National Park. This preserve has some of the best diving in the world with it's spectacular coral reefs and sea life. Full and half day excursions, starting at about $75, takes you touring the rugged rock formations, walking tours, diving,snorkeling and biking. This is a nature lovers paradise, and a place you will want to have ample time to explore.
