Naama Bay is the heart of the city and, as such, it is an area open 24 hours a day, although the real action begins at sunset. You can easily get there by blue-and-white taxi or local minibuses from anywhere in Sharm El Sheikh, as it is the best-known destination for all drivers.
Access to the pedestrian promenade and shopping areas is completely free for all visitors. However, keep in mind that many beaches are private and belong to hotels, so if you want to use their sun loungers and umbrellas, you will need to pay a daily fee or make a purchase at their bars.
If your plan is simply to stroll around and enjoy the atmosphere, about 2 hours are enough to walk along the main street and the seafront promenade. If you decide to have dinner, go shopping, or enjoy the nightlife in its famous clubs, set aside a full evening to enjoy it without rushing.
Naama Bay is where tourism in South Sinai was born; it was the first area developed specifically for visitors in the 1980s. It went from being a deserted bay to becoming the cosmopolitan epicenter that connects Egyptian culture with international tourism.
Without a doubt, the best time is at night, when the neon lights illuminate the promenade and the temperature is perfect for outdoor dining. As for the time of year, the spring and autumn months offer the most pleasant weather, avoiding the stifling heat of the Egyptian summer.
Yes, Naama Bay is one of the most wheelchair-friendly areas in Sharm El Sheikh thanks to its long, flat, paved pedestrian promenade. Most street-level shops and restaurants are accessible, making it much easier to get around compared with other parts of the city.
From here, you are just a short taxi ride from Hollywood Sharm El Sheikh and the famous SOHO Square for more nightlife and entertainment. In addition, many boat excursions depart from Naama Bay harbor to the spectacular Ras Mohammed National Park for snorkeling.
Do not be afraid to bargain in the souvenir shops; it is part of the experience and expected. To enrich your trip, we suggest downloading a cultural audio guide that explains the details of the surroundings as you stroll.
