loads to do there, i had a great time.
the main attraction is the red sea, scuba diving and snorkeling are a must with the fabulous coral reefs and colourful marine life. if you don't wanna get wet then a glass bottom boat.
lots of bars, restaurants and shops in namme bay. we took a camel ride to a Bedouin village in the dessert and had dinner with the locals, there's a night club in the dessert you can go to, you can visit Cairo for the day by plane or car, (we chose the car takes about 5-6 hours pick up around 1am, much cheaper than plane) saw all the sights and Cairo museum.
dolphin show where you can swim with them although if you ask me the tank is far to small for the 3 dolphins they have there. quad biking, jeep safaris loads of stuff.
but as i said before you've gotta get in the sea, i learnt to scuba dive out there and would recommend the camel dive club. (there roof top bar is really good aswell)
have a great trip, am really jealous.

I went there 4 years ago.Actually I liked it.Well,if you can swim you can do go snorkeling and scuba diving.The reef is one of the most interesting in the world.otherwise you can sunbath and just lay down.In Naama Bay you'll find some shops,a mall,market streets and loads of local shops.At night there are some bars,discos and locals for entertainment.

Diving at the reef is great. It's one of the best places in the world to dive, the submarine flora and fauna are amazingly beautiful! Now wonder, Sharm el Sheikh (SES) is one of the best places in the world to dive. If you don't have a diving diploma and don't plan on getting it (takes about 4/5 days), snorkeling is great too. If you are a little lazy and don't want to get wet, a glass boat is an option.
If you are a diving pro, go to Ras el Mohamed for the most beautiful nature unspoilt by tourism. It's just out of Sharm, but you have to take your passport with you. SES is a visa free zone but for Ras Mohamed you need a visa. It can be purchased at the airport and costs abt 15 US dollars. Snorkeling and diving there is top!
You may want to take a boat to Hurghada to check out the Paradise Island (Giftun) and the night life there too. It will take you a couple of hours, the fares are affordable and the trip pleasant.
You can take a jeep safari in the desert, it's fun to do!
Camelback riding is not my favourite - stinky swaying camels are not my cup of tea, but you can do this, if you like.
If you want to do something cultural, go a trip to St. Catherine's monastery. It's one of the most beautiful pilgrimage spots in the world. The monastery boasts a rich collection of icons and is under Unesco monument protection. The mountain nearby was the place where Moses received his ten commandments. Choose a night trip with acsension to the mountain at night to see the sun rise! It's an early rise, but absolutely worth it.
If you don't mind a 5/6 hour ride to Cairo by car or bus, it's certainly worth a visit. Check the flights beforehand though, you may be surprised at how affordable the prices are, provided you book a month in advance and NOT in the weekend. There's plenty to do and to see in Cairo: pyramids & the sphinx, Cairo cruise at night, Egyptian museum, world famous bazar Khan el Khalili and the numerous sights in Islamic and Coptic Cairo. If you have time to explore, book a hotel and stay overnight, you won't regret it.
SES has also many things to do at night. You can smoke waterpipe (shisha) in one of the street cafes and enjoy peace and tranquility of bubbling water. Although I don't smoke, I enjoy an occasional shisha a lot. There are many choices of tobacco available: apple, grape, mint and strawberry, to name just a few.
Buddha Bar is a nice place to chill out late at night, but don't go there before midnight. There are many lively disco's in Naama Bay.
Don't forget to try fresh mango juice. It's delicious! Egypt is famous for its mango. They have about 25 kinds of mango. Also fresh guava and lemon juice with mint are nice and refreshing.
