Sharm el Sheikh is famous for its sun, sea and sandy beaches, but away from the Sharm Cliff Holiday Naama Bay and its fellow resorts, there are also a number of unusual things to do. We've picked our favourite alternative attractions for you to try from quad biking to sipping cocktails in the ice bar.
It may not be Christmas but that doesn't mean you can't get in the festive mood with a bit of ice-skating. And while you may find it difficult to find a rink back home during the summer months, you'll have no trouble keeping cool during your Sharm el Sheikh holidays at the Soho Square ice rink. Offering sessions for the general public, families, private lessons and even figure skating, this is one of Sharm's most surprising finds.
Just around the corner is the Middle East's first ice bar, which is perfect for a little cool refreshment. Wrapped up in the winter threads provided, this is one impressive night out, with ice seats, tables and even glasses included. Tasty cocktail are offered at sub-zero temperatures, and this is an alternative way to cool off during the hot Egyptian evenings.
For a change of pace and temperature however, the desert is also on the doorstep of your Sharm holiday resort. And whether you feel like exploring it on a quad bike or a camel, there are plenty of ways to challenge yourself in the Sinai Desert. For a great family adventure, embark on a two-hour quad-biking trip to the heart of the desert.
For even more alternative fun, why not treat your feet after a long day of biking or sightseeing. You can literally dip your toes into one of the strangest and most amazing spa treatments around with fish pedicures readily available at the Fish Cure Spa.
