Nabq Holidays

Nabq Bay

Right, if you want to escape all the touristy madness and find yourself a proper slice of paradise, Nabq Bay's absolutely your answer! This gorgeous spot is Sharm's most northerly area, about 5km past the airport, and it's basically where you go when you want luxury resorts without all the mental chaos of the main tourist strips.

Pure tranquillity

Nabq Bay's what happens when someone decides to build high-end resorts in the middle of a protected national park - and blimey, did they get it right! The whole area's way less developed than Naama Bay or Sharks Bay, which means you get pristine beaches, crystal-clear shallow waters, and proper peace and quiet. We're talking about stunning views of Tiran Island across the water and beaches so beautiful you'll think someone's touched up your holiday photos.

Natural wonderland

Here's the brilliant bit - the bay reaches right into the Nabq National Park, which is basically a protected paradise with over two miles of mangrove forests, rare birds, and sand dunes where you might spot desert foxes and hyenas if you're lucky! The snorkelling here is absolutely mental good, with coral reefs and marine life that'll blow your mind. Plus, the water stays lovely and shallow near the shore, making it perfect for families or anyone who's not the world's strongest swimmer.

Luxury without the crowds

The hotels here are properly posh - we're talking 5-star resorts with their own private beaches, multiple pools, spa facilities, and some even have their own water parks. You're close enough to the airport (about 10 minutes) for convenience, but far enough from the busy areas to actually relax. It's basically where you go when you want all the luxury of a top-end Egyptian beach holiday but with the bonus of feeling like you've discovered your own secret bit of paradise. Perfect for when you want to tell everyone back home you found the "real" Egypt! 🏝️🐠
