Things to do in Sharm El Sheikh

Top experiences at a glance for the year

Sharm El Sheikh bookings are led by Tours, followed by Water activities and Outdoor & sports activities — tours dominate throughout the year while demand for water-based experiences spikes toward the late-year peak. Bookings drop sharply in June and July, then recover through October and hit their high point in November.

Best activities by traveller type

Families tend to favour Tours for easy sightseeing and organised day trips, with Cruises offering a relaxed way to see the coast that also suits mixed-age groups. Couples will enjoy Water activities and Outdoor & sports activities for more active or romantic options, while solo travellers and small groups can pick from a wide range of Tours and water-based excursions that suit different budgets and energy levels.

What travellers from the Philippines typically book ahead

Most visitors from the Philippines book activities within a few days of travel, so there’s flexibility to pick things up close to your trip; the earliest planners often reserve places about 12 days out. Booking ahead matters most in the peak period around November, when demand is noticeably higher and early reservations help secure popular water activities and tours.

How the categories compare on price and who they suit

Cruises are the easiest way in price-wise and tend to sit at the entry-level range, making them a straightforward pick for budget-conscious travellers and families. Tours cover a broad mid-range slice of options and are the most-booked category, suiting travellers who want convenience and variety. Water activities are the priciest on average and show the widest spread of prices, so they can serve both premium thrill-seekers and mid-range snorkelling or diving groups depending on the operator.
