Egypt is a great destination for travelers, but you might like to know that there is more to Egypt than the pyramids, Cairo, and the Valley of the Kings. One of the great tourist locations in Egypt is actually situated at the mouth of the Gulf of Aqaba on the Red Sea, a city called Sharm el Sheikh. Sharm el Sheikh is a beautiful seaside port where you choose to sun yourself on their vast beaches, take a fishing trip in the Straits of Tiran, or dive underwater in one of their many world-famous coral reefs, a snorkeler's paradise to be sure.
