We have opted to stay in one of the smaller hotels in Sharm, namely the Falcon Hills, as the great big hotels with pools as big as London are not our cup of tea. Anyway, back the question.............Is there much to see/do in Sharm during the day? Also, by reading the reports, it seems Namma bay is the only place to go at night?
We are staying on a b/b basis, so we need somewhere to get some lunch every day and have a walk round, so are there things like cafe's and bars open, or is everything hotel based?
There is also a place called Fantasia (or alif leiha wallia leiha) which has a show and some restaurants and shops, it's at Habada. Only know this as my hotel for April is at Habada and i've been researching, so can't recommend personally.
This is the map that Doe mentioned.
In the months from April onwards you will need a shady spot, as it is so bright and sunny (and tiring). Old Sharm is the same, it's a bit more industrial, with a few warehouses with t shirts in, and a couple of super markets, plus the usual arabic coffee shops and tourist souvenir shops.
80% of people are in resorts/hotels apartmetns during the day. Nightime everyone is on the move. It's quite good to go out about 4.00 for a snack and do a bit of shopping, stay out for dinner and go back to hotels 10-11 if you are not a late night person. Everyhting is egypt -time- laid back and relaxed.
I think in the day do a few excursions, but if not i think i'll be lousing about trying to get a good tan. But not plan to go Narma Bay a few times or relax in the complex.
The morning is dead as the shops / restaurants don't open
the only real activity is at the harbour with all the boat trips for scuba and snorkelling
otherwise evryone is either on the "beach"getting red/brown or in bed
After the sun sets Naama really comes alive with bars / restaurants etc
Thanks for all the info guys.
