City Tour of Sharm El Sheikh

Sharm El Sheikh City Tour I Sahaba Mosque in the old market Tour 

 

  Most people visit the very modern city of Sharm el Sheikh for its Red Sea diving, world-class hotels and glitzy nightlife, but did you know that Sharm el Sheikh has been a site for visitors for thousands of years, due to its strategic location on the trade route between Africa and Asia? Its name means Bay of Sheikhs but is also known locally as the City of Peace due to the high number of peace conferences which are held here. You will be able to get a taste of the religious tolerance, old and modern architecture and local Egyptian life that most tourists don’t have the chance to experience on their stay here.

 

 

Pick up

 

You will be picked up in A/C mini bus by your city tour guide at about 3pm.

 

 

Hay Al-Noor (Al Nour district) 

 

Our first place of interest will be the al-Noor district of the city, where we will visit the Heavenly Cathedral. Built a mere 11 years ago, this Catholic cathedral is definitely worth visiting for its stunning architecture and beautiful murals depicting scenes from the bible. You guide will also be able to give you information about the history of Christianity in Egypt.

 

The next stop in Al-Noor will be to Al-Mostafa Mosque. Here your guide will be able to give you some information about the style and architecture of the Mosque and about Islam itself.

 

 

Al-Fanar lighthouse

 

The lighthouse at Al-Fanar is located right at the edge of Om El Sid Hill and offers some of the most breath-taking views over the Sharm coast line and the Gulf of Aqaba. Here we can sit down, relax and soak up the panoramas. There is also an amazing peace memorial here. The design is impressive and a great place for a photo.

 

 

 

Sahaba Mosque in the old market

 

Al Sahaba Mosque of Sharm el Sheikh is made using Fatimid, Mamluk and Ottoman style elements into its architecture and interior design. It is considered the most important mosque built within the decade.

 

Also, If you want to experience local Egyptian life, then the shopping area of Old Market is the best place for our final stop. Here you will get the chance to mingle with the locals and do a stop of shopping if you wish.
