Eating and drinking in Sharm el Sheikh

By Rakim Jafooli


Apart from the year-round warm climate, excellent beaches and exhilarating water-sports that Sharm el Sheikh offers, this Egyptian resort also provides a wide range of culinary and drinkable delights to appeal to every one of its 5+ million annual tourists. Located on the northern tip of the Red Sea, Sharm el Sheikh's location ensures a varied selection of restaurant styles to tantalise all taste-buds.

The sea front promenade and Naama Bay both offer visitors a wealth of varied places to dine, where as well as more localised dishes from Egypt, Lebanon and Africa, you will also find other favourites such as Italian, Japanese and Indian restaurants. Here you can find average priced meals ideal for all the family, all of which are served with a friendly smile. Couples wishing to splash out on something special should head to The Ritz, Sofitel or The Four Seasons for a romantic meal.

For those looking for an authentic North African dining experience, try out the Old Market where you will the locals tucking into Egyptian delicacies. Its location to the Red Sea means that Sharm el Sheikh has a great range of tasty, fresh seafood, which in the Old Market comes at much lower prices than the busier, tourist-aimed restaurants.

Also popular for its energetic nightlife, Sharm el Sheikh offers its adult visitors a wide selection of bars and clubs. Naama Bay again is where you can find the best of the resort's bars such as the Hard Rock Caf, Camel Bar and Little Buddha. Be sure to check out the excellent cocktail menus, and maybe try a Shisha pipe whilst watching the world go by in one of these comfortable bars.

For those itching to combine a few drinks with dancing the night away, then there's Pacha BusStop; a world-class nightclub featuring Ministry of Sound sets. Whether you're on a family holiday, a romantic getaway or celebrating a hen or stag weekend, Sharm el Sheikh has food and drink to appeal to all tastes.
