Sharm El Sheikh Day Tours: Water, Desert, or Mainland Egypt

Sharm El Sheikh day tours split into three kinds of day, and the best one depends on whether you want the water, the desert, or somewhere else in Egypt entirely. Ras Mohammed National Park is the headline snorkelling and diving trip, running around eight hours close to town. Inland, a Sinai safari crosses the dunes by quad bike or jeep, and a full day reaches St Catherine's Monastery. Day trips also fly to Cairo or Luxor and back the same day.

Top Things to Do in Sharm

Sharm El Sheikh day tours split naturally into three groups, and the best one for you usually comes down to whether you want to be in the water, in the desert, or somewhere else in Egypt entirely for the day. Ras Mohammed National Park is the headline underwater trip: a snorkelling boat out to one of the Red Sea's best-preserved reefs, with masks, fins, and life jackets included, or a scuba diving day for certified divers who want to go deeper than a snorkel allows. Both run around 8 hours and stay close to Sharm, so there's no early alarm to worry about.

For a change from the water, a Sinai safari trip trades the reef for the desert: quad biking or a 4x4 jeep across the dunes, usually with a stop for camel riding and Bedouin tea along the way. A day tour to St Catherine's Monastery goes further into the Sinai high country, a full day out to one of the world's oldest working monasteries, set in a landscape that looks nothing like the coast a couple of hours behind you.

If it's mainland Egypt you're after rather than Sinai itself, day trips fly you across to Cairo or Luxor and back the same day, roughly 10 to 12 hours door to door, so you can see the Pyramids or the temples of Luxor without giving up any nights of your Red Sea stay or changing hotels partway through the trip.

Every Sharm El Sheikh day tour includes hotel pickup, air-conditioned transport, and an experienced guide, so the planning is really just choosing which of the three directions suits your day. If none of the set itineraries fit, a tailor-made Sharm El Sheikh day tour can be built around exactly what you want to do and how much time you have.

All You Need to Know Before You Go

The best Egyptian cities for day trips are most likely Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, Red Sea cities, and Alexandria. Each city has its twist in what it includes, like Cairo with the Pyramids of Giza and Egyptian Museum, Luxor with the Valley of the Kings, and finally, cruising the Nile to Aswan.
