Nestled on Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, Sharm el Sheikh is a resort town known for its vibrant snorkeling, diving, and desert excursions. The town also serves as a gateway to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of St. Catherine’s Monastery. Cruise ships dock at the in-town Sharm el Sheikh Port, which, while not a dedicated cruise port, provides easy access to the area’s attractions. If another ship is already docked, visitors may need to tender to reach the shore, where they can explore the town’s many offerings.
