Accessible

The immediate accessibility of snorkeling is particularly praised, making it a delightful activity for all age groups, including children and the elderly. Additionally, the resort is pet-friendly, which is a notable advantage in Egypt.

However, accessibility for guests with disabilities and those with walking difficulties can be challenging. The last kilometer to the resort is via a dirt track, making the journey somewhat difficult by car, especially since the path is neither paved nor well-signposted.

The access to the beach lacks a ramp, requiring parents with strollers to carry them down. The resort lacks nearby shops or restaurants and finding transportation services like Uber in the area can be complicated. Overall, while the resort excels in providing a peaceful escape with excellent snorkeling access, it could significantly improve its infrastructure to be more inclusive and accommodating for guests with disabilities.

At Sharm El Naga Resort and Diving Center, guests can feel at ease bringing their furry companions. The resort is notably pet-friendly, welcoming dogs warmly. Staff treat pets with kindness, making them feel just as welcome as their human guests. Visitors have no problem bringing their dogs along, whether enjoying the beach or dining at the restaurants.
