Four Seasons Resort Sharm El Sheikh definitive activity-filled destination

With its sumptuous dining options, spa, fitness centre, water sports, and luxurious guest rooms clustered like a hillside village above the shimmering drama of the deep Red Sea, Four Seasons Resort Sharm El Sheikh proves itself incomparable to those in the Middle East, catering to both the most adventurous and tranquil traveller.

For the more daring, a great variety of water sports are offered, including parasailing, scuba-diving, snorkelling, water skiing, kite flying, wakeboarding and kayaking.

In additional the Resort guarantees if they do not have a specific water sport on offer, it will be arranged through their concierge or Dive Centre. When it comes to those looking for more exciting and adrenalin-fuelled activities, no stone is left unturned.

In addition, the concierge can organise enlightening and enlivening desert excursions, such as Pharaoh's Island and the Coloured Canyon. Just off the coast of the Gulf of Aqaba, Pharaoh's Island is not only one of the most scenic spots in the area, but is of great historical significance. The island has a long history of occupation from the Byzantines to the Crusaders, and in the year 1182, Salah El Din rebuilt the existing fortifications and strengthened its defences.

Although the Coloured Canyon does not have any historical significance, it is definitely a key scenic location, waiting to be discovered. Lying between St. Catherine's Monastery and the town of Nuweiba, its strange rock formations and dramatic colours make Coloured Canyon a popular safari trek for those looking to explore and examine the unknown.

For guests looking to relax and rejuvenate, botanical tours, such as the Flower Tour, are available. This is an hour-long identification and explanatory excursion of the plant species adorning the gardens of Four Seasons Sharm El Sheikh, including the different tree types, cacti, flowers and fruits.

For guests interested in photography, the Sinai desert terrain provides a stunning and picturesque backdrop. Although the desert appears barren, it is in fact, rich with unique flora and fauna. With hawks, ospreys, eagles and other small birds soaring the sky, bird-watching is another activity intuitive guests can enjoy.
