I was in Sinai more than 20 years ago and the memory I have left is feelings, heat, desert, camels, a long and exhausting journey.
To our delight, direct flights opened to Sharm and I decided to fly to see what had changed.
Less than an hour we landed and the truth...a lot has changed.
A little background: Sharm is the southernmost city on the Sinai Peninsula (former Ophira) and unlike the other cities in Sinai it is more advanced, has luxurious resorts, plenty of attractions, diving centers, a promenade and the feeling is mostly relaxing!
So I went out to review the hotels and prepared a guide for you so that you too will have a most experiential vacation.
So let's start...
The hotels in Sharm are on an all-inclusive basis, when we talk about all-inclusive we mean 3 meals as a king, free drinks also in the mini bar in the rooms and of course alcohol, and it is enough for two room attendants to fill the mini bar with drinks.
When we talk about luxury, we are of course talking about RIXOS , the all-inclusive ultra resort for adults only
Located in front of the sea among palm trees, the beach is a sandy beach, at the hotel you can enjoy 7 swimming pools, 7 a la carte restaurants and 9 bars.
At the hotel you can enjoy entertainment evenings, a spacious recreation area and the X Lounge club.
The rooms are large, the beds are comfortable, there is no doubt that it was an extraordinary creative experience

Already at the entrance, the splendor and prestige is evident and when talking about paradise, talking about a 4 season hotel!!!! The resort is located on a kilometer-long private stretch of beach and is a paradise of luxury between the desert and the reef
The hotel has 5 outdoor pools, 10 restaurants, an award-winning spa, a fun-filled Kids For All Seasons club for children and an expertly managed PADI diving center in conjunction with one of the best house reefs in the area.

Also suitable for families, every day the children will be able to enjoy a variety of activities that the hotel offers.

Another hotel that left me full of surprises is the Alcazar.....
A unique experience that leaves a taste for more, a private beach measuring 30,000 square meters with an underwater view and three swimming pools, the golden sand and turquoise waters of Navak Bay are simply a perfect place to relax the body and mind.
The hotel has two main restaurants serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, and 5 a la carte restaurants in different styles.
