If youre planning a trip to the Sinai Peninsula or in general, the city of El Sheikh should most definitely be on your destination list. This gorgeous city is adorned with a fast-paced nightlife that rivals any urban location, and the many resorts with breathtaking architecture redefine the term fine living. However, the city of is much more than its downtown location. During your next trip to the region, consider the wonderful day-trip attractions listed below to truly experience the Sinai Peninsula.

Gorgeous Coastlines – Sharm El Sheikh is a beautiful coastal community just waiting for you to explore. Several luxury resorts have beachfront locations, allowing you to experience a tropical paradise right from your room. Alternatively, you can plan a day trip by camelback to explore the unique landscape and pristine coastline in a more traditional manner.

The Colored Canyon – If youre looking for a small day-long excursion to take in the natural wonders of the area, then a trip to the Colored Canyon should be at the top of your list. Traveling to this location is a pleasure as you traverse through deep canyons and crevices, allowing the imposing rock formations to shade you from the sun. Upon arriving to the canyon, you are a witness to something truly magical. The natural colors in the rock itself is a breathtaking sight for any enthusiast, and the absolute silence of the location just compliments your experience in the most indescribable way; its as if you are experiencing a glimpse into another world.

Saint Catherine Monastery and Mount Sinai – If sitting on the beach is a bit too low-key for you or your travel partners, then consider a trip to the beautiful Saint Catherine Monastery. Much like the Colored Canyon, you can easily visit this location in a day, although you may want to visit several more times in order to fully experience the beauty of this building. Not only is it a structural wonder, but it has much historical and religious value as well. It is one of the oldest working Christian monasteries in the world, and also houses the second largest collection of ancient religious manuscripts. The religious significance of this monastery is also a tribute to its vast collection of religious artwork, with pieces dating back to the 12th and 13th century. The interior of Saint Catherine is decorated with beautiful ancient portraits of the Madonna, Jesus Christ, and Saint Catherine herself.

Since Saint Catherine lies at the foot of Mount Sinai, you can also marvel as this natural wonder while visiting. While it is not the largest peak in the Sinai Peninsula (that honor goes to Mount St. Catherine naturally), its attraction is not in the physical characteristics, but the religious significance. According to Bedouin tradition, this mountain is where God detailed laws to the Israelites and is also a mountain mentioned in the Quran. With this in mind, Saint Catherines and Mount Sinai have a heavy religious presence in Egypt.

Sharm El Sheikh is a unique location since anyone in your party can find something to do, whether youre looking for fine dining and a great nightlife, or a more relaxed environment of sightseeing as described above. The city of Sharm El Sheikh can satisfy even the most fickle guest, so make a plan to visit this beautiful and vivid location during your next trip to Egypt you wont be disappointed.
