Introduction to Port

Sharm El Sheikh sits at the southern tip of the Sinai, where the Straits of Tiran meet the Gulf of Aqaba, a cruise port that blends stark desert scenery with the Red Sea’s most vibrant reefs. What sets it apart is its seamless mix of adventure, luxury, and accessibility: world-class snorkeling and scuba diving among neon corals, glass-bottom boat tours, and exhilarating desert safaris that reveal Bedouin hospitality against a backdrop of sunlit dunes. The port serves as a gateway to Ras Mohammed National Park, Tiran Island, and the turquoise coves of the Gulf of Aqaba, with shore excursions ranging from reef explorations to cultural visits to St. Catherine's Monastery and strolls along Naama Bay. The terminal infrastructure accommodates a wide spectrum of ships with efficient embarkation, comfortable lounges, and streamlined tendering, while on-site guest services, souvenir shops, and excursion desks keep everything convenient for travelers. Onboard experiences across visiting ships amplify the port's appeal, from refined dining and spa rituals to family-friendly entertainment and specialty dive-focused itineraries that resonate with Red Sea enthusiasts. In short, Sharm El Sheikh stands apart by turning a port of call into a destination-forward experience that showcases marine wonders, desert vistas, and a hospitality-first approach that energizes every voyage.
