The town of Sharm El Sheikh near the southern tip of the Sinai peninsula in Egypt is very famous with tourists, given the temperate weather, the great water, and the beaches. In winter, when it is freezing in Europe and other parts of the Northern Hemisphere, the place sees a large number of tourists arriving. Part of the attractiveness of the location is the scuba diving and snorkeling that can be done over there. With a number of coral reefs and the associated marine life, people can enjoy these through scuba diving for admiring life below the waves while the snorkeling lets people enjoy the corals and colorful fish at around the water level. These are located some distance away from the town, and hence tourist operators have ships, boats and yachts to take tourists to these location, as you can see with these large number of ships that are normally full of tourists.
