A brilliant one size fits all destination, Sharm el Sheikh holidays suit visitors of all ages and every budget. Transformed from a sleepy fishing village into Egypt's holiday hotspot, everyone from experienced divers to dedicated sun-seekers descend on the beaches here to top up their tan and go home with stories about the underwater wonders, so make sure you pack your snorkel. But don't worry if you're more of a land lover than a water baby, there are dozens of glass-bottom boat trips on offer to ensure you don't leave the resort without witnessing the Red Sea's rainbow-coloured reefs and tropical fish.

As well as sun, sea and sand, Sharm el Sheikh is the place to go if you want to stretch your legs and pick up a holiday present. Divided into the new and old town, the latter is home to a traditional market where you'll find spices, semi-precious stones and Egyptian silver while the new part is made up of hotels and shopping malls. There's also plenty of nightlife and although the town has its fair share of bars and restaurants, Na'ama Bay is the party capital. With its main strip full of clubs and bars playing their music from dusk 'til dawn, put this on your to-do list if you're looking to dance the night away.
