Sharm El Maya - one of the areas of the famous Egyptian resort Sharm El Sheikh . It is located in the south-western part of the city, on the coast of the eponymous bay . As in all other areas of the resort, along the of the entire bay in two or three lines are hotels for every taste and wallet . The main advantage of Sharm el-Mayi can be called its location . The point is not only that the loop-shaped bay is protected from all sides from the wind (which, to a word, can fly only from one, left side) . It is from here that yachts and boats leave for sea walks in the Nazi Ras Mohammed National Park, and in this area there is the famous Old Town with its present eastern market .

Beaches of Sharm el-Mayi
Another attraction that attracts tourists to Sharm el-Mayu is the sandy beaches. The sand is dense, entering the water in most cases is just perfect. It's hard to get hurt about rocks or corals, step on the sea urchin. Of course, when you first enter the water on any beach you need to be cautious, but in the bay of Sharm el-Maya, the hazards are minimized.
There are 26 beaches here, each of which is run by a hotel. Some of them are trying to make a paid (about US $ 4) entrance for those who do not live in a hotel that follows the territory. From the hotels not the first line to the beaches there are buses. Their schedule and price depends on the class of the hotel and the type of the chosen tour. Somewhere they are free for hotel guests, but you have to go by taxi, because the schedule is very inconvenient or the buses are too small.
In general, the beaches are very good, wide, clean, equipped with everything necessary. After the incident with the sharks on the "most essential" list, many hotels added a tower with the attendant, vigilantly looking out through the binoculars the danger from the sea. Usually this precaution is unnecessary, since there is very little fish near Sharm el-Mayi beaches. Bathing here is very good for families with children: calmly, the sea is warm, you can run into the water with a yelp, raising a cloud of spray.
If you really want to admire sea life, this can be done with pontoons that are available on several beaches . In addition, adults and active people often go for this spectacle to the wild beach, to the left, towards Ras Mohammed. There for a comfortable swimming, rubber slippers will be needed, so as not to cut yourself against corals. Come there better in the afternoon, after 15.00, so that out of those places had time to leave the tourists.
