Sharm El Sheikh Guide: Naama Bay, Ras Mohammed, Tiran and Flower Delivery to Your Hotel

Sharm El Sheikh is the resort where winter gets cancelled. While it's below zero in London, Warsaw or Moscow, the southern tip of the Sinai sits at +25 °C, the sea is clear to twenty metres and the coral gardens start right off the beach. People fly here for a week of sun, a month of diving or the whole season — wintering in an apartment in Hadaba. This guide explains how Sharm works: which areas to choose, where to go (Ras Mohammed, the Tiran reefs, Mount Sinai), where to eat — and how to get a bouquet into a gated all-inclusive hotel so it's in the room at exactly the right hour.

In short: we deliver across Sharm on the day you order, bouquets from €89, to hotels via reception or guest relations, photo before hand-over, payment by any card from any country. Sharm El Sheikh flower catalog — 30 bouquets from compact to 101 roses.

How Sharm El Sheikh Is Laid Out: Areas and Bays

Sharm isn't a city in the European sense but a chain of bays stretching 30 km along the Red Sea, from Ras Mohammed in the south to Ras Nasrani airport in the north. Each bay lives its own life, and the choice of area shapes the whole holiday.

Naama Bay — the Heart of the Resort

The only place in Sharm where you can genuinely walk: a promenade with cafés, shisha lounges and shops, beach bars, restaurants on the water and nightlife. Here are the historic first-line hotels — Mövenpick, Hilton Fayrouz, Novotel, Marriott Beach, Sultan Gardens — and dozens of dive centres by the jetty. Naama Bay suits those who don't want to depend on the hotel shuttle: Soho Square, the Old Market and Hadaba are 10–15 minutes by taxi.

Sharks Bay and Nabq — Reefs on Your Doorstep

North of the airport begins the zone of big all-inclusive resorts: Rixos Premium Seagate, Four Seasons, Savoy and Royal Savoy, Baron Palms, Sunrise Arabian, Coral Sea, Jaz Mirabel, Domina Coral Bay. The big plus is the coral reef right off the pontoon — snorkelling from morning to evening without leaving the grounds. The minus is distance: Naama is 20–30 minutes away and you can't walk between neighbouring resorts. This is where most wintering families with children stay.

Hadaba and Ras Um Sid — Views and Sunsets

A rocky headland above the Old Market. Here are the Ras Um Sid lighthouse, the famous coral wall beneath it, panoramic hotels Reef Oasis, Stella Di Mare, Iberotel Palace and Renaissance Golden View, and Sharm's best sunsets from the terraces of Farsha and Fares Seafood. Hadaba is convenient for a long winter stay: plenty of apartments, the Old Market's shops and supermarkets nearby, and Naama ten minutes away.

The Old Market and Sharm El Maya

The Old Market is Egyptian Sharm without the gloss: stalls of spices, perfume and papyrus, coffee houses, the Al Mustafa mosque and the Coptic church opposite. Next door is Sharm El Maya bay with the marina where yachts leave for Ras Mohammed, and a few quiet hotels. People come here to dine on real Egyptian food at half Naama's prices.

Soho Square and Montazah

Between Naama and Sharks Bay lies Soho Square: a pedestrian plaza with restaurants, an ice rink, a fountain and evening shows. It's a convenient meeting point for a "flowers to the table" surprise — restaurants are easy to find and parking is close.

What to See: Ras Mohammed, Tiran, the Sinai

Ras Mohammed is the national park at the very tip of the Sinai peninsula, 20 km from Naama. Two seas meet here — the Gulf of Suez and the Gulf of Aqaba — and the underwater topography gives some of the best reefs on the planet: the walls of Shark Reef and Yolanda Reef with cargo from a sunken freighter, a mangrove channel, a salt lake. Go by yacht from Sharm El Maya (a full day with lunch) or by jeep with a beach stop. Best from October to May when visibility peaks.

The reefs of Tiran island are the second must-do sea trip. Four reefs — Jackson, Woodhouse, Thomas and Gordon — lie in the strait between the Sinai and Saudi Arabia, home to turtles, Napoleon wrasse, reef sharks and, with luck, dolphins. Yachts leave Naama Bay in the morning and return around five — the classic surprise scenario: the bouquet is waiting in the room while the couple spends the day on the water.

Mount Sinai (Jebel Musa) and St Catherine's Monastery — a night climb to the summit, sunrise over the Sinai and one of the world's oldest working monasteries with the Burning Bush. Departures from Sharm at 22:00–23:00, back by noon. After a night like that, a bouquet waiting in the room is especially welcome.

Dahab and the Blue Hole — 90 minutes north, a former Bedouin village turned freediving capital. Snorkelling at the Blue Hole by day, dinner on cushions by the water in the evening. The Coloured Canyon and Bedouin desert dinners with tea on the fire take half a day.

Winter in Sharm: the Season and Key Dates

High season runs from October to April. Daytime +22…+28 °C, cool evenings, sea at +22…+24. For anyone seeking winter sun three to four flying hours from Europe, Sharm is the most accessible option: Dubai is pricier, Antalya is colder in winter, Tenerife is further away.

Peak dates of the season:

• Christmas and New Year (25 December — 10 January). Hotels full, gala dinners on the beach, fireworks in Naama and at the big resorts. We book bouquets 2–3 days ahead and deliver during the day while guests are at the beach.
• 14 February. Sharm is a couples' resort: proposals at sunset by the Ras Um Sid lighthouse, dinners at Farsha and on the Sharks Bay pontoons. 51 or 101 roses is the most common order of the date.
• 8 March. The main flower day for Russian-speaking long-stayers; it isn't celebrated in Egypt, so a bouquet becomes a real event.
• Easter and spring holidays — the second family peak, with children's birthdays on holiday.

How to Deliver Flowers to a Sharm El Sheikh Hotel

This is where Sharm differs from European cities, and the rules are worth knowing.

Hotels are gated compounds. Every resort has security at the entrance; a courier can't walk to the room. The bouquet is handed over via reception or guest relations: a staff member calls the room and invites the guest down, or brings the flowers up — that's how Rixos, Four Seasons, Savoy, Baron, Steigenberger, Stella Di Mare and Hyatt Regency work. For a "room surprise on return from the yacht" we arrange with reception in advance and send you a photo once the bouquet is on the table.

What we need for the order. The exact hotel name — Sharm has dozens of look-alikes (Rixos Premium Seagate, Rixos Sharm and Rixos Golf are three different resorts; Savoy and Royal Savoy are neighbours with separate receptions). The guest's name as on the booking — security and reception check the list. The room number if known; if not, the name and check-in date are enough.

Timing by area. Naama Bay, Hadaba, the Old Market and Sharm El Maya — 1.5–3 hours after confirmation. Sharks Bay, Nabq and the hotels near the airport — 2–4 hours. Orders before 14:00 local time — same day; evenings by pre-order.

Where else we deliver. To the Naama Bay and Sharm El Maya marinas before a yacht departs (we need the boat name and boarding time), to dive centres in Sharks Bay, to restaurant tables in Soho Square and Hadaba at a set hour, to Ras Nasrani airport on arrival — the bouquet waits at the exit or is already in the room at check-in.

Payment and language. Orders are placed on WhatsApp or Telegram in English or Russian; the price is fixed in euro and we accept any bank card, transfers and crypto. No on-the-spot conversion to Egyptian pounds and no cash to the courier.

Which Flowers Survive the Sinai Climate

Sharm is desert by the sea: low humidity, harsh sun, air conditioning running around the clock in the rooms. What we recommend:

• Dense roses — Ecuadorian large-headed and Freedom. They last 7–10 days in an air-conditioned room.
• Orchids, anthuriums, birds of paradise — untroubled by dryness or heat, they look "resort" and hold up to two weeks.
• Chrysanthemums and lilies — a reliable base for large arrangements.
• Box arrangements on floral foam — no vase needed, they sit on any table and photograph beautifully on a balcony over the bay.
• Peonies and hydrangeas — available on pre-order; keep them in the room and off the balcony after ten in the morning.

Don't leave the bouquet in the sun by the pool longer than a photo takes, and ask reception to put the flowers in a vase — Sharm hotels do this by default.

Bouquets from the Sharm Catalog We Recommend

Six options from the Sharm El Sheikh catalog, from compact to statement. All with same-day delivery and a photo before hand-over.

Naama Bay and Coral Reef are for a "just because" greeting or an airport welcome; Ras Um Sid Sunset and Ras Mohammed for an anniversary, honeymoon or terrace dinner; Tiran and A Hundred Sinai Roses for a proposal, New Year or a birthday that calls for scale.

How Much Flowers Cost in Sharm El Sheikh

A benchmark from the catalog: compact bouquets €89–236, medium arrangements €269–479, premium armfuls and baskets €505–1,240. Prices are in euro and don't rise for the holidays: a bouquet on 31 December costs the same as on 15 February. Delivery across the resort is included; a card in English, Russian or Arabic is free. For comparison with other winter destinations, compact bouquets in Dubai start from $89 while full-size arrangements cost noticeably more because of logistics and imports.

Where to Dine in Sharm — and How to Get a Bouquet to the Table

• Farsha Café (Hadaba) — cliff terraces with cushions, lanterns and the sunset over the Red Sea. Sharm's most photogenic spot; book an edge table a week ahead.
• Fares Seafood (Old Market) — fish and seafood by weight, Egyptian classics without the tourist markup.
• Rangoli / Il Frantoio (Rixos Seagate) — fine dining inside the resort for guests and by reservation.
• La Rustica and The Terrace (Naama Bay) — Italian and Mediterranean cooking on the promenade.
• Soho Square restaurants — from Japanese to Lebanese, a convenient meeting point.

We deliver a bouquet to the table at the appointed time: the courier hands it to the waiter or manager, and the arrangement is waiting when the couple arrives. Tell us the restaurant, booking time and name — we handle the rest.

Where Else to Send Flowers This Winter

Sharm is part of a bigger winter-sun map. Across the gulf are the Emirates: Dubai (read flowers for New Year in Dubai for the festive logistics), Abu Dhabi and Sharjah. North across the sea — Limassol in Cyprus, and the Turkish Riviera — Antalya, Alanya, Kemer and Belek, where the season returns in April. Further afield — Tenerife with its eternal spring and Phuket for those wintering in Asia (guide: wintering in Thailand).

How do you deliver flowers to a Sharm hotel if the grounds are gated? The courier hands the bouquet over via reception or guest relations; a staff member calls the room or brings the flowers up.
