Just 2 miles from the centre of Sharm, the Melia Sinai Hotel sits on a private beach looking out over the coral in Ras Nasrani. Sharm El Sheikh is world famous for its coral and aquatic wildlife with reefs just offshore and is considered to be among the top five diving and snorkelling sites in the world. It is on the southern tip of the Sinai peninsula in Egypt and is between the Red Sea and the Mount Sinai mountains.
