Egypt may not have been your first choice for a warm, beach vacation, but you probably weren't aware of the beautiful sand beaches, the high-class hotels, and year-round sunshine offered by the Egyptian port city of Sharm el Sheikh, located at the edge of the Gulf of Aqaba, overlooking the Straits of Tiran on the exotic Red Sea. Sharm el Sheikh is a destination vacation location that offers you plenty of sunshine, and plenty of ways to relax and enjoy yourself.
