3 Days in Sharm el Sheikh: Suggested Itineraries
Must-Do Experience, Tip - Suggested Itineraries, Tip - What to See & Do
Day 1: Touring Sharm el Sheikh
Okay, first things first - camel safari! When in Egypt...! Take an unforgettable journey through the desert on camel-back, finishing off with some authentic Bedouin tea. It you want to sample the best of Sharm el Sheikh but you're schedule's looking tight, a private tour might be the way to go. Neatly structured over one day, you'll take a jeep safari, snorkel the Blue Hole, ride a camel, have a Bedouin lunch and go bargain shopping in Dahab.
Day 2: Get Wet!
That's right, it's not all desert out there. If you want to sign up for some sheer glamor, slip on your Jackie Os and take a glass-bottom boat cruise over the coral reefs of the Red Sea at Sharm el Sheikh. Or you could spend the day diving and snorkelling at Ras Mohammed National Park, one of Egypt's most popular dive and snorkeling sites. Or for a mix of island relaxation and lagoon splashing, spend the day at picturesque Tiran Island.
Day 3: Day Trips from Sharm el Sheikh
Short on time? A one-day private tour of Cairo will tick plenty of boxes. You'll fly in to visit the ancient city's most famous sites including the Great Pyramids and the Sphinx, the Egyptian Museum and lively Khan el-Khalili bazaar. You can see even more famous sights of ancient Egypt on a quick-hit trip to Luxor, taking in the Valley of the Kings and Luxor Temple, or you can catch an unforgettable sunrise over the mountain where Moses received the Ten Commandments on a private tour to St. Catherine's Monastery.
Extremely fun. The guides put safety first. Did it during sunset but I believe it would have been a better view at sunrise. Either way I would do it again; it's a good deal.

An amazing experience! Very friendly and knowledgeable Egyptologist and Bedouin guides. The great advantage to a private tour is being able to ask questions and gain information that you possibly wouldn't ask on a 'group' tour. I went up the first part of Moses' Mountain by camel (an hour and a half on a camel is a LONG time - I literally couldn't feel my legs when I had to get off it again!) I recommend wearing long trousers - not just knee length shorts as I did! Then there are 750 'steps' to climb - very sandy and can be slidy - particularly when going up at night. We had a gorgeous moonlit night an the starts were amazing! At 4.45am we reached the summit and it was COLD!! Sunrise was 5am and it was as though someone had instantly turned on the heat - and WHAT a sight! Wouldn't have missed it for the world - worth all the exersion of getting to the top!! As you're climbing pretty much all night you are exhausted by the time you reach the bottom of the mountain again (unless I'm more unfit than I think!) and I was half falling asleep over breakfast at St Catherine's monastery. Bring a sarong or something to cover your legs if not wearing long trousers - if you don't have one, they'll supply a sheet type thing, but you must wear it! All in all the trip was WELL worth the price and effort - a real 'once in a lifetime' experience! I loved it and can't say enough about the Egyptologist and the Bedouin guide, they were fantastic - and both spoke fanstastic English! A brilliant trip by Viator - would definitely book excursions through them again!

Driver picked my family of four up on time, drove us to a local hotel and had a professional staff member walk us through the hotel property to the Naama Bay Beach for the glass bottom boat ride. The kids loved seeing the local coral reefs, parrot fish, "Nemo" fish, etc... This is perfect for small children and very safe. The staff were friendly and I would not hesitate to recommend this cruise to anyone. Good value for money and Viator's rates were a little less than what tour reps wanted at the hotels. Book with confidence.
