Hotels near Naama Bay

Topping every list of things to do in Sharm El Sheikh, Naama Bay is the resort area where most travellers stay. The crescent-shaped bay sits 6 km north of the airport and is fronted by a 1.5 km pedestrian promenade with palm trees, beach clubs, restaurants, and the famous Camel Bar where the nightlife strip really begins. The bay's gentle slope and shallow reef make it ideal for first-time snorkellers, while the centre offers easy access to dive boats heading to Ras Mohammed.

The promenade is fully illuminated after sunset, with hookah cafes, fish-and-chip pubs, jewellery shops, and dive centres operating until 2:00 AM. Most resort hotels (Hyatt, Ghazala, Sultan Gardens, Tropitel) sit either on the bay itself or one cliff back. Public beach access is free at the southern end near the Hard Rock Cafe.

Pro Tip: Walk the promenade end-to-end at 7:00 PM when the daytime heat fades and the lights come on but the clubs have not yet started thumping. The strip from Sanafir Hotel to the Hard Rock Cafe is the best people-watching window in Sinai.
