If you're interested in traveling to some of Egypt's most beautiful beaches without spending a lot of money, read on for some Sharm El Sheikh budget travel tips. A beautiful coastal town on the Red Sea, Sharm El Sheikh is one of Egypt’s most popular beach resort locations. From the beautiful resorts of Na’ama Bay to the shops and markets of Sharm Old Town, the city attracts travelers from all over the world. Lodging is more expensive here than in some cities, so you’ll have to save money elsewhere. But by shopping smart and looking around, you should be able to leave Sharm El Sheikh with a whole lot more than the shirt on your back.
                            
Seasonal Travel

Sharm El Sheikh has excellent weather, and even the winter temperatures can be in the mid-70s to 80 degrees F. This can be a little cold for snorkeling or sunbathing, but is still a welcome change for those coming from less temperate climates. If you’re looking for deals and are willing to take a chance of some rain and cooler temperatures, travel between November and January. For the less adventurous who still want to snag a deal, travel from March to May or from September to October.

Eating Out

Sharm El Sheikh has a wide variety of dining options. Abou El Sid, located on top of the Hard Rock Café, is a budget priced option favored by locals. To really cut costs, there is a Metro Supermarket in Sharm Old Town. You can also find inexpensive western dining options, such as TGI Fridays and McDonalds, which may not necessarily what you traveled to Egypt for, but if food is not your budget priority, sacrificing a few meals can free up lots of room in your budget.

Scuba Diving and Snorkeling

The underwater sights of Sharm El Sheikh are a major attraction. To save some money on diving you may want to look into getting certified before you travel. This can help your budget as well as allowing you to spend more of your vacation doing the things you want to do. If you’re staying at a resort ask about a resort course. It’s a 1-shot simplified process that allows an experienced instructor to take you out on a dive after a brief course in a pool. It will save you time and money, and is perfect if you don’t intend to dive elsewhere. If you’re trying to tighten your budget even more, snorkeling will allow you to see the underwater world without the expense and hassle of diving, and many dive trips allow snorkelers to come along.
