Hays Travel are experiencing huge demand for holidays to Sharm el Sheikh in 2010. Some people will be experiencing Egypt for the first time, but many have been already and can’t wait to come back. The flagship resort of the Egypt’s Red Sea Riviera, Sharm el Sheikh is fast becoming the UK’s favourite holiday spot. With direct flights from a wide selection of UK regional airports, year-round sunshine and golden beaches, it’s easy to see why Sharm is the holiday destination everybody seems to be talking about. Sharm el Sheikh began life as a quiet fishing town, then gradually began to attract divers who wanted to explore the stunning coral reefs beneath the temperate seas. The diving and snorkelling trips are still world-class, but now Sharm el Sheikh has plenty more to offer every kind of holidaymaker…

Sharm el Sheikh has a huge range of accommodation options to suit all budgets. Particularly popular are the all-inclusive establishments, which offer fantastic value-for-money.

As well as couples and families, Sharm el Sheikh has also opened its doors to the young and lively market. Egypt is a Muslim country, but the consumption of alcohol is accepted in tourist areas. The hub of Sharm el Sheikh is Naama Bay – a bustling, pedestrianised street boasting big name bars like Little Buddha and Hard Rock Cafe. International dance brand Pacha has opened up a club here too- a long way from its origins in Ibiza. This summer, the venue will be hosting nights for well-known promoters including London-based Ministry of Sound. Revellers looking for a full-on party getaway can now book package holidays to Sharm el Sheikh with specialist young and lively tour operators.
