Plan your time ashore

For a visit to Sharm-el-Sheikh, Egypt, check the current arrival and departure times, the actual berth or tender arrangements, and the distance between the port and the places you hope to see. Leave a comfortable margin for returning to the ship.

Solo travelers may prefer an organized excursion, independent exploring or a quieter day on board. Ask about excursion availability, walking distances, accessibility needs and local transport before making plans. Entry requirements and local conditions need current confirmation.

Awaiting Your Return From Shore
 Sharm-el-Sheikh lies near the southernmost tip of the Sinai Peninsula where the Straits of Tiran meet the Gulf of Aqaba. The land of the Sinai is the "great and terrible wilderness" of the Bible, across which the Israelites journeyed in search of the Promised Land.   In modern times, the last battle for the Sinai culminated in Egyptian President Anwar Sadat’s historic visit to Jerusalem and the subsequent peace treaty signed in Washington, D.C.   Sharm-el-Sheikh, a long-standing settlement, was initially developed by the Israelis during their occupation of the Sinai. Na'ama Bay, a short drive from the port, has grown into a sizeable resort since the early 1980s.  Between the two towns a string of hotels is emerging on a once-untouched coastline.   The Silversea call at Sharm-el-Sheikh serves as the starting point for an excursion to St. Catherine’s Monastery, the oldest Christian monastery in the world. St. Catherine’s Mountain is at 7,926 feet the highest summit in Sinai, followed by Mount Sinai, where God is said to have given the Ten Commandments to Moses.  For water sports fans, Sharm-el-Sheikh and Na'ama Bay offer snorkelers and divers an underwater paradise. Glass bottom boat trips are available for those preferring to view the exotic marine life of the Red Sea without getting their feet wet. Pier Information. The ship docks at Sharm-el-Sheikh, about one mile from the city center. Taxis are not easily available at the pier; nor are drivers who speak English.
 Shopping. The main shopping areas are at Na'ama Bay, located five miles from the port. Egyptian cotton, Pharaonic souvenirs, and gold cartouches are popular.
 Cuisine. There are plenty of eateries at Na'ama Bay. The hotels offer a variety of restaurants with everything from seafood to international cuisine and fast food. Typical local dishes include spit-roasted lamb, mutton stew, rice pilaf ,and chicken with saffron. Seafood is also a good choice.
