The Real Sharm Although your hotel may have all that you think you need, it’s still great to get out of the all inclusive compounds and discover what the real Sharm has to offer - trips out of the hotel are easy and inexpensive. Many hotels have a bus service to Naama Bay and the blue and white taxis are plentiful. Micro Bus services are also cheap and reliable - but you are at the mercy of frequent stops to pick up more passengers enroute. Hiring a car is a viable proposition but parking can be a problem - Currently we recommend the taxi and negotiating the price before you start and have the correct money to hand over. That said, following this years lack of cuts in tourism sector – finding a cheap taxi is easier than before, but please be fair.
Tourist Info Centre
Everything home made
One good reason to go out is to chat with the folks at the tourist info centre at the rear exit of Carrefour on the square. It has giant maps for you to see exactly where you are, where you came from and where you want to go. If you do not know - someone will help you and point you in the right direction.
On their menus you’ll find everything home made, chefs and barmen cleverly blending all natural fresh ingredients in their food and legendary cocktails.
It is here you can pick up the GOLD CARD for discounts out and about in Sharm, get the latest copy of The Book, check out the latest special offers and promotions ALL FOR FREE
The bar is fully stocked with international genuine brand spirits and liqueurs –and the better Egyptian brands. This restaurant is perfect for intimate meals, group outings or private parties. Just Behind the tourist information, center climb 5 steps, is Palazzo. An authentic oasis of charm, a welcomed calm spot in the heart of Naama Bay.
It occupies a prime location, just a 1 minute walk from the main taxi rank in Naama Bay, overlooking the market square.
Whether you are shopping, getting ready for a night on the town, or simply needing a quality evening of wining and dining. Palazzo with its relaxed ambience, good prices (only le10.00 a beer) and fabulous selection of music from the blues to classic rock - is perfect.
Not to be missed - adjacent to the maps is the excellent italian homemade gelato ice cream parlour, to eat in or take away.
This spacious split level cafe, bar and restaurant, with an indoor airconditioned dining area and outdoor area overlooking the busy market square, makes the ideal hassle free refuge and people watching spot.

to be grateful, humble, forgiving and compassionate. We may use these words in our everyday life, but still at the end of the day we find it’s easier to hide away from the things that seem to be crumbling around our ears. It’s overwhelming. It would appear disaster after disaster – from natural to manmade, since the beginning of the year it is almost feels like we’re living a nightmare.
What can we do? How can we help? Choose to change You’ve heard it before, you have seen it in Egypt... it only takes one person to change the world – and while this moment seems almost unbearable and stressful – the statement is very much true. Nothing is born out of ease and cessation – change is created through hard work, sacrifice and commitment – but the moment you choose to change, you’ve already won.
Plant a seed Planting a seed inside ourselves and using our practice to help nourish and encourage it to grow into a full-blown idea and taking us with it. Transforming the people and Sharm into a place we’ve always wanted it to be.
Save Sharm! Anyone can change. Anyone can help. We can save Sharm and make it better, all you have to do is being willing to try. We convince ourselves we aren’t smart enough, or rich enough, or clever enough to accomplish superhuman feats – but every human being has that capability inside them. We just need to find the courage to allow it to manifest and grow. It’s easy to play the “what about me” card; it’s hard to realize that it’s not about you at all. It’s bigger than that. Compassion, forgiveness, being humble and grateful for what blessings we have are easy ways to remember and to embrace yourself without seeking self-pity. They are ways to look past the selfishness that is in our human nature and realize we are more than that – we are compassionate beings that have the resources and ability to help make changes productively.
News Worthy
At times in our lives it’s easy to forget

No visit to Sharm el Sheikh is complete without a visit to Naama Bay. Make your holiday more memorable Being situated right in the centre of Sharm el Sheikh, Nama’a Bay is the core for a lot of the cities visitor attractions and night life. With a wide range of Restaurants, Bars and Clubs for you to choose from, we’ll attempt to highlight the places that can really make your holiday that little more memorable, whatever you needs.
International cuisine is available in many of the bars, cafes and restaurants where prices are usually reasonable. There should be something to suit any taste, ranging from traditional English food to far Eastern food and Sushi. A Bedouin style cafe is one of the more typical choices in Sharm for a drink, Shisha or a light snack, there are many to choose from and most are fairly priced and of a similar standard.
If you’re looking for something a little more substantial, or maybe something a little stronger, Nama’a has several internationally branded bars that serve a wide range of local and imported spirits with comprehensive cocktail lists.
Music
Music varies from place to place, you’ll find traditional Arabic music as well as European pop and American R’n’B. There are places that cater for most tastes, so you’ll be able to find Blues, Rock, Electro House and even Karaoke should you desire. Sharm is also home to one of clubbing’s super brands, Pacha, located in the heart of Nama’a Bay and well worth a visit if that’s your thing. Remember everything starts later in Egypt so clubs and bars won’t really start to get lively until midnight; you should pace your drinking accordingly! Most places close late, usually around 3am at the earliest and some are open until the first ray of sun.
