Anyone spending their holidays in Sharm el Sheikh will be spoilt for choice when it comes to exciting things to do. The area is most famous for its diving, sailing and snorkelling, yet there is still a huge range of other leisure options. When you’re looking for hotels in Sharm el Sheikh, be sure to check out the nearby tours and sports activities and start planning a fun break away.

Kitesurfing
Most people associate the Red Sea area as the world’s greatest diving haven, with some of the world’s best coral reefs. Yet there is plenty of fun to be had on the surface as well. Kite surfing, where you sail across the water on a small surfboard, pulled by the force of your kite, is an increasingly popular sport, and this is one of the best places to do it. Many kiteboarding schools have started up in Naama Bay, so you can be on your way to becoming a confident kitesurfer. There are rules involved in this sport which must be learned and understood, involving no-go zones, directions, and right of way with sailing vessels. You will be able to learn how to surf safely, and once you have, you can really enjoy the adrenaline rush and make the most of the fantastic weather and beautiful blue waters of Sharm el Sheikh.

Quad biking
From the sea to the desert, you could always try your hand a quad biking. An adventurous and fun way to get around the stunning Sinai desert. With a number of quad tour companies operating out of Naama bay you’ll be able to find one who can take you on your preferred day. Those taking a tour can arrange to be collected from their Sharm el Sheik hotels, where you’ll head into the incredible landscapes of the Sinai desert. As the sand whips in all directions you’ll want a pack a scarf and some sunglasses. Before you set off you’ll be given safety instructions which you must follow, as quad biking is a bumpy and sometimes dangerous activity. Once you’re out in the desert you can enjoy views of the stunning Sinai mountains, and possibly even meet some of the Bedouins who live there.

Golf
You don’t have to be an adventure junkie to take part in the many sports in Sharm el Sheikh. Golf is considered a relaxing yet fun activity, and the huge, 100 hectare championship golf course in Sharm el Sheikh is one of the best you’ll find. Located within the Maritim Jolie Ville Golf Resort, golfers can either stay within the resort, or at one of the nearby Sharm hotels in the Marikha Bay area. The 18-hole course boasts 18 man-made lakes and such a variety of vegetation and trees that the course has become a popular habitat for exotic birds. If you’re a beginner to the sport, or you simply wish to perfect your technique, the Jolie Ville International Golf Academy is a great place to learn, and the well-stocked pro golf shop sells a huge range of quality equipment.
