Tours to Sharm El Sheikh: what to know

Holidays in Sharm El Sheikh are year-round sea, corals and a flight from Almaty of about 5–6 hours. High season lasts from October to April: air +25…+28 °C, water +22…+24 °C. In summer the temperature reaches +40 °C, and it is more comfortable to swim in the morning. Tours to Sharm El Sheikh are usually booked for 7–14 nights, and on site people spend cash dollars and pounds.

Visa, documents and entry rules for Kazakhstanis: what do you need to know?

Preparation for a trip to this Egyptian resort begins with simple steps. Tourists from Kazakhstan can get here without unnecessary formalities.

Visa-free regime and passport validity

Citizens of Kazakhstan enter Egypt with a foreign passport. A trip to Sharm El Sheikh does not require a visa in advance; the stamp is placed on arrival. The document's validity must cover the journey with a margin. Tours here are usually booked for 7–14 nights. Check that the passport does not expire in the coming months. At the border they may ask for a return ticket and hotel booking. Keep these papers at hand to pass control calmly. Sharm El Sheikh receives flights around the clock, so the stamp is also placed at night. Check the exact document requirements with official authorities before departure.

Medical insurance: when it is really needed

Insurance for entry is not mandatory, but for diving it is arranged separately. Sharm El Sheikh is a center of underwater tourism, and going under water involves risk. A regular policy does not cover such cases. Tours to Sharm El Sheikh with activities should be supplemented with extended insurance. It will be useful for snorkeling, trips to the desert and sea excursions. Egyptian medicine for a tourist is paid, and calling a doctor to the hotel is expensive. Arrange the policy before departure from Almaty. Without it, the trip may turn into extra expenses.

Visa and entry rules change: check with the primary source — the electronic visa portal of the Arab Republic of Egypt, https://visa2egypt.gov.eg/eVisa/. The information on this page was checked on 10.09.2026.

Money, tips and expenses on site: how much to take with you?

Money at the resort is needed every day. This Egypt lives on cash, and local holidays are no exception.

Egyptian pound, dollars and exchange rate

The main currency is the Egyptian pound, but dollars are accepted in hotels. Sharm El Sheikh lives on tourists, so there are many exchangers here. The rate at the hotel is always worse than in the city. Exchange money in small amounts so as not to be left with extra notes. Change in tourist places is often given in pounds at an unfavorable rate. ATMs at the resort are found everywhere, but the commission from Kazakhstani cards can be high. The Egyptian side does not always accept Visa and Mastercard cards. Take cash dollars with you and exchange them as needed. Tours to Sharm El Sheikh are convenient to pay for in advance, and spend little by little on site.

Baksheesh: to whom and how much is it customary to leave

Tips in Egypt are part of the culture, not a sign of generosity. Sharm El Sheikh lives on baksheesh, and almost everyone expects it. A waiter, maid, driver and guide are left 1–2 dollars each. A porter receives the same for each suitcase. For an excursion it is customary to thank the guide separately. Keep small notes in your pocket; breaking large sums is inconvenient. The Egyptian habit of tipping is not related to the quality of service. A vacation here without baksheesh turns into a series of awkward pauses. Set aside a sum for tips in advance so as not to count small change on the go.

How to get to the resort and move around the city

The road from Almaty takes several hours. On site, the holiday there continues with trips around the city.

Direct flights from Almaty and travel time

Direct charters from Almaty fly in high season. Sharm El Sheikh receives such flights several times a week. Travel time is about 5–6 hours. The time difference with Almaty is 3 hours in winter and 2 hours in summer: Egypt changes its clocks (UTC+2 in winter, UTC+3 in summer), while Kazakhstan stays on UTC+5 all year round. The Egyptian side switches to summer time, so the clocks will have to be changed. The return flight is usually at night, which is convenient for saving the day. Tours to Sharm El Sheikh include the flight, transfer and accommodation. In the shoulder season there are fewer direct flights, and connections are possible. Check the schedule with the tour operator before booking.

Taxi, minibuses and trips to the Old Town

Uber does not work at the resort, so bargain with taxi drivers in advance. Sharm El Sheikh is divided into districts, and prices for trips differ. Local minibuses run along the main streets and cost less than a taxi. The Old Town is a center of craft shops and cafes; people go there for the atmosphere. The road from Naama Bay hotels takes about 15–20 minutes. The Egyptian driving style requires attention, especially at night. Agree on the price before getting into the car. A vacation here is more convenient to plan taking these distances into account.

MinibusCheapMain streets of the resort
Hotel transferIncluded in the tourAirport and back

What to do on the water and beyond the beach

The sea is the main reason to go here. A holiday here is not limited to a sun lounger by the pool.

Diving and snorkeling in Ras Mohammed

Ras Mohammed is a reserve with corals and rich fauna. Sharm El Sheikh keeps the best dive sites there. Diving requires advance booking and a certificate for deep descents. Snorkeling is available to beginners; a mask and snorkel are provided on site. The Egyptian side charges an environmental fee for visiting the reserve. The water warms up to +22…+24 °C in winter, so long swimming is comfortable in a wetsuit. In summer the air temperature reaches +40 °C, and it is better to dive in the morning. Tours to Sharm El Sheikh often include one sea excursion. Sign up in advance; places in high season are taken quickly.

Excursions to the pyramids and to Cairo: how many days it will take

A trip to the Giza pyramids and Cairo takes a full day. Sharm El Sheikh stands on the other side of Sinai, so the journey is long. The Egyptian side offers two options: a flight or a bus. The plane saves time, the bus is cheaper, but the road takes many hours. From Cairo, tourists bring back impressions of the museum and the pyramids. They return to the hotel late in the evening. Rest at the resort after such a trip requires a day to recover. Plan the excursion in the middle of your holiday, not before departure.

What to consider before booking a tour

Small things decide what your vacation will be like. A trip here depends on the hotel and the season.

Dress code, alcohol and rules of conduct at the hotel

Dinner at the hotel restaurant does not allow swimsuits and shorts. Sharm El Sheikh follows Egyptian norms, even in the tourist area. Bring closed clothing for evening outings. Alcohol is sold in licensed shops and hotel bars. The Egyptian side restricts the export of spirits from the country. The all inclusive system covers drinks at the hotel, but outside it the bill is separate. Tours to Sharm El Sheikh with all inclusive meals are more profitable for families. Check the hotel rules in advance so as not to argue at the reception.

Souvenirs, haggling in markets and local cuisine

Haggling in markets here is expected, and is not considered impolite. Sharm El Sheikh sells papyrus, oils, spices, hookahs and cotton. Egyptian cuisine is built on falafel, koshari and seafood. In tourist areas there are restaurants with a European menu. Start haggling at half the named price and stay calm. Souvenirs are more convenient to buy in the Old Town, there the choice is wider. A holiday here will leave an impression from the food too, if you try the local. Do not take excursions from random people on the street.

In short

  • The resort receives charters from Almaty in high season, the journey takes about 5–6 hours.
  • Money is spent on site in cash: dollars are exchanged for Egyptian pounds as needed.
  • Ras Mohammed gives the best impressions of corals, snorkeling and diving.
  • A trip to the pyramids and Cairo takes a full day, it is placed in the middle of the holiday.

Came back from Sharm el-Sheikh and still can't get over it. The sea is such that you don't want to get out of it, though usually I'm more of a pool person. The hotel turned out decent, food was good — at breakfast I loaded up on the local flatbreads, they're hot and soft, straight off the heat. The manager sorted everything out fast, no stress, I didn't even have time to get tired of packing. True, the air conditioner in the room hummed like a tractror, had to sleep with the balcony open. We took an excursion to the reserve — snakes, lizards, I almost stepped on some lizard by a rock. In the evening the promenade smelled of hookah and fried fish, we just sat and looked at the lights. Lots of people in August, but that's even for the best — not boring. Prices at the market are inflated, you have to know how to haggle, I never learned. Got a tan, rested, I'll come back here again.

went on this trip kind of on a whim to be honest, work was rough after the quarter and i just wanted to lay on the beach and do nothing) before that i was thinking about Turkey but it got expensive there it seems and then Sharm was offered cheap. flew at night, got to the hotel by morning, they checked me in right away though according to the rules it's like after lunch. the sea is a whole separate thing, warm like a bath, on the first day i just walked in and stood chest deep for like twenty minutes, probably was mind blown. the corals by the shore — bright, fish of all different colors, but stepping on those stones barefoot is kind of scary, bought special shoes. in the room the AC was humming like a tractor, had to call a technician, he tweaked something and it got ok. the food was decent, i'm not picky about food, but the watermelons every day were too much- they were kind of not sweet especially the local ones. the staff was smiling all the time and asking something in English, i was nodding and saying "yes of course" though i didn't understand half of it honestly. hotel grounds

we went with my friend to dive the reefs, because she had wanted diving for a long time, and I just tagged along — and at the agency they picked us a hotel near a good coral beach. Everything went great, even though on the first day I forgot the adapter in the room and had to ask the manager for a charger.

booked sharm a couple days before the flight, everything went smooth and stress-free—visa was done fast, transfer was waiting at the airport, hotel turned out decent though with a dead ac the first day, then they changed the room no questions asked. corral reefs are gorgeous, water like in an aquarium, but the sunbeds by the pool were taken from six in the morning by germans with towels and that was annoying honestly, otherwise came back happy and tanned

went to Sharm through one of our agencies, well the one that sits in Kazakhstan. was really happy. sea is warm, even though in December I thought I'd be like an icicle, no, it was fine, swam almost every day, water like fresh milk only salty. at the hotel they fed us so much that I probably gained three kilos honestly. animation in the evening yelled so loud that I couldn't sleep, but whatever, it's a small thing. staff smiled, room clean, AC worked, bed hard though, I like that. at the travel agency everything was done fast, documents, insurance, transfer, no stress at all, I was even surprised. the reefs there are of course a whole separate story, I bought a mask on the spot and swam for hours. fish are all different, one even bit my finger when I was feeding them, it was funny. came back tanned, rested, will recommend to all my freinds who just want to lie around and do nothing

I suddenly got a vacation so I was looking for something quick with the dates, and on top of that a friend from work kept going on and on about this Egypt, so I decided, booked a tour to Sharm. Booked it and never regretted it once the whole time, though the sea was cold of course and the wind with sand scratched up my whole face while I was riding on that glass boat of theirs, but at the hotel they fed us so well that I didn't even notice how I gained those three cursed kilograms..

went because i had to urgently close my visa and a friend of ours works at the travel agency so he recommended a tour to Sharm, took eight nights in early september. The manager said the hotel was fine and there would be a transfer, water warm, but the AC in the room rattled like a tractor and i slept on the balcony for two nights, though overall it was ok. The sea is clean, reefs right at the shore, all sorts of fish, but you had to grab a sunbed at six in the morning otherwise everything's taken by germans, coffee at the bar is so-so, but the animators were on fire every evening..

Bought in Almaty a package for eight nights in Sharm, departure from our city. The hotel turned out to have a reef right by the shore, I stepped on an urchin on the very first day — good thing I had a glove in my bag. Food was okay, but the coffee at the bar is crap, though the animators didn't bother us. The sea — that's what I forgave everything for: warm like a bath, and fish right at your feet, I didn't even take off my mask. Came back wanting to do it again and with a slight longing for that reef.

we booked the trip through an Almaty agency, because we were too lazy to deal with visas and flights ourselves, and we wanted everything turnkey... we flew to Sharm, the hotel is decent, the sea is warm, but in the room the air conditioner hummhttps://www.example.com/ed so much that we had to sleep with the balcony open — but at least the view was of the pool, not a wall, which is already a plus the food was okay, though the lines at the restaurant drove me crazy, and also those local sellers on the beach who offered massages every day, at first I refused, then got used to it and even agreed a couple of times, so overall I'm happy on the way back we flew with a three-hour delay, but that's not a question for the agency, it's just Egypt, next time I'll go for the Mediterranean, though who knows

We went to Sharm el-Sheikh because we really wanted a change of scenery and just to lie on the beach after a tough quarter at work. The manager organized everything quickly, the hotel was good, though there was a small hiccup with the airport transfer, but we didn't get upset.

Took the tour to Sharm at the last moment, didn't really choose honestly... just wanted the sea and that's it. The hotel was okay, but the AC in the room rattled like a tractor – I turned it off at night, slept with the balcony open. The water — that's a separate love, warm like fresh milk, didn't want to get out. The food was decent, though the local sweets are too sugary for me, only took fruit. on the fourth day I got burned on the beach, skin peeled off, but that's trifles. Overall the trip was a success, would come back again.

Went to Sharm and still can't get over it. The sea is a whole other story, warm like fresh milk, though a couple of times on the beach my flip-flops got swept away by a wave and I had to chase them hopping. The manager picked a hotel so that it's a minute on foot to the shore, huge thanks for that. The food is good, but I never did get a taste for the local flatbreads, they taste weird. The staff smile all the time. Five stars, didn't regret a second.

The trip turned out surprisingly calm, without the airport hassle – and that's what I was most afraid of at the last moment. the hotel was decent, not amazing of course : the linens were clean, the AC rattled like a tractor at night, but the sea – nothing to complain about. I went snorkeling on the reef twice... saw a surgeonfish, a big one, almost a forearm long, and some other striped small stuff, don't ask me the name. Well and the food was decent, though the coffee at the bar – a real swill, I only drank tea. came back tanned, my wife said "like you've been in a solarium"..

Went to Sharm el-Sheikh to shake off the winter blues, because I wanted warmth and sea without overthinking it, and I walked into the agency almost at random, it was just near my house. The manager quickly picked a hotel, and even though at first the wardrobe door creaked in the room (no big deal, of course), on the reef I got so hooked I forgot about all the little things. Came back tanned and happy, and I give my five stars without hesitating.

Took a tour to Sharm in the first days of January and still remember sitting on the balcony in the evening, and the wind is warm, not wintery at all. Swam every day, true the water was bracing — but then lay on the sunbed, read, and nobody bothered me. The room was basic, furniture scratched in places, but the bed was comfortable, the air conditioner worked quietly, and the staff smiled, so I'm giving it five stars.

Went to Egypt because I really wanted the sea, and most importantly to snorkel with a mask. Booked the trip at an ordinary Kazakhstan agency,... everything seemed to go fine. But at check-in for the flight it turned out that the fligth was delayed by four hours, and that of course ruined the whole mood. The hotel was decent. The Red Sea — it's something unreal. The fish are multicolored. After coming back my skin needed moisturizing, but I was left with a ton of impressions.

bought a tour to Sharm el-Sheikh, overall was happy, but I'll find a fly in the ointment. The hotel has a reef right by the shore, didn't need to rent a mask, brought my own. The food is okay, though by the end of the week I'd eaten so much lamb I couldn't look at it anymore. The animation in the evening screamed so loud that I stopped going out on the terrace, sat on the balcony. The cleaner kept taking bottles of water from the room, well, God be with him. Came back tanned, but with a slight runny nose from the air conditioner.
