Sharm el-Sheikh
Sharm-el-Sheikh's
major industry is foreign and domestic tourism, owing to its dramatic
landscape, year-round dry and temperate climate and long stretches
of natural beaches. Its waters are clear and calm for most of the
year and have become popular for various watersports, particularly
recreational scuba diving and snorkeling (which many consider to
be among the best in the world). Coral reefs, under water and marine
life, unmatched anywhere in the world, offer a spectacular and dazzling
time for divers. There is wide room for scientific tourism with
diversity in marine life species - 250 different coral reefs and
1000 species of fish.
