Discover Sharm’s Soul: A Journey Through the Old Market & City Centers

You’ve spent a few days in Sharm, sun soaking through your senses, waves splitting your attention—yet somehow, the heart of the city eludes you. That’s where this tour, framed around the Old Market, becomes something more than sightseeing. It turns into a walk through the city’s beating heart. Ready to step in?

Evening Gateway: From Resorts to Ramadan Lights

The tour starts around 7 PM—a cozy time when heat fades, lanterns glow, and people’s energy softens into curious warmth. You’ll climb aboard a private, air-conditioned ride—no blaring AC, just comfort that eases your day’s travel fatigue.

Namaa Bay: Where the City Opens Up

First stop: Namaa Bay Promenade. Think cafes with jasmine in the air, clinking cups, and souvenirs gently shining in shop windows. You don’t just walk—you breathe connection. Maybe find a colorful shawl to test your bargaining skills, or simply hold a sweet cup of karkadeh while watching palm fronds dance.

Awe in Architecture: Mosque and Church Side by Side

Next, you pause at Al Sahaba Mosque, a masterpiece of Ottoman-style domes and arches. It feels timeless, peaceful—like poetry in sandstone. Then, a shift—the Catholic Church stands nearby, its quiet halls and soft echoes offering gentle contrast. You sense the city’s embrace of many traditions, whispered side by side.

High Points—The City and the Sky

Past prayer and calm, your journey lifts literally. A panoramic viewpoint lets you see Sharm—resorts, sea, mountains—in one wide sweep. The lights below flicker like waking stars. You exhale—and maybe take your best sunset or cityscape photo yet, without screens feeling staged.

The Old Market: Color, Craft, Character

Then comes the soul: the Old Market. It’s a labyrinth of spice jars, shiny trinkets, woven baskets, languages ricocheting, and laughter shifting like colors. You might stop, camera tucked away, and buy a small souvenir—fragrant oil or hand-carved bracelet. But mostly, you stay present, open, soaking in every little detail.

Simple Comfort: Water, Stories, and Goodbyes

A chilled bottle of water meets you at the end—simple, but thoughtful. Your guide smiles, gently asking what stood out. No rush. Just a human moment, folded gently into Sharm’s evening.
