More Travel Information Food & DrinkEgyptian cuisine is rich, flavourful and full of colour - whatever your dietary requirements, you’ll typically find a bit of everything at your All Inclusive resort, but we recommend a few dishes to add to your priority list. Meat lovers with adore the street-food favourite Shawarma, and falafels (made with fava beans as opposed to chickpeas) spiced in a myriad of ways go down a treat at any time of the day. Whatever you decide, you can expect every meal to be a feast in Sharm El Sheikh. AttractionsSharm El Sheikh’s renowned coral reefs and glorious Sinai desert are undeniably its biggest draws. Most Sharm resorts have their own diving centres or they’ll partner with one nearby - we recommend an afternoon exploring the underworld by deep-sea diving, snorkelling or admiring from the comfort of your boat. If you’d rather see the natural wonders from inland, book yourself on to a desert safari where you’ll discover the Sinai by camel, car or simply by trekking. You can also hop on a quad-bike tour for maximum adrenaline.
