Um el Seid, Egypt

Located on the southern tip of the Sinai peninsular, Um el Seid holidays offer a more relaxed style holiday compared with other resorts found in Sharm el Sheikh. Offering stunning views, Um el Seid is the perfect place to stay if you are looking for a relaxing break away from it all, relaxing on golden sandy beaches and dipping your toes in the warm waters of the Red Sea.

Plenty to do on an Um el Seid Holiday

As with all resorts in Sharm el Sheikh the main attraction of an Um el Seid Holiday are the beautiful sandy beaches and crystal clear waters of the Red Sea. The reefs around Um el Seid are protected and well preserved and as a result the area is famous for the quality of its scuba diving and snorkelling. Um el Seid is close to the old town of Sharm el Maya and you would be wise to spend at least one day of your Um el Seid holiday losing yourself in one of the many bazaars and markets located here.

Explore Egypt on an Um el Seid Holiday

Beyond Um el Seid is the spectacular desert of the Sinai peninsular and the Ras Mohamed National Park.

For those wanting to explore some of Egypt's ancient history, Mount Sinai and the Monastery of St Catherine's, a UNESCO world heritage site, are a short day trip away.
