Chrsitmas Lights in Sharm

December in Sharm is a time when the weather really cools off, gone are the scorching temperatures of summer as winter welcomes cooling winds and spectacular sunsets.

Dusk comes around in a flash and festive lights start to go up and turn on around town. Christmas trees proudly stand tall from behind polished glass reception windows, in preparation for the festive season.

Each hotel exudes its own impressive shimmer and sparkle, from crafted lights with special messages to authentic festive displays. All stops are pulled out, the magic that the staff and their teams create here in Sharm is something that has to be seen, especially for those who enjoy the spirit of Christmas.

As you take a stroll past the big hotels, you are captured by all sorts of Christmas eye candy.

Trees are transformed into beaming pillars, strings of bright lights snake their way from the ground up. Santa and his full set of reindeers have found their way onto a hotel forecourt and are positioned over a trickling rainbow fountain.

Guests in t-shirts amble past, enjoying the nice combination of festivity and warm weather.

Sharm is all set for Christmas. Soho Square brought Christmas early to Sharm last month with its eventful ‘Big Switch On’. A spectacular night with fireworks, a brass band parade and snow machines, added a magical start to the season and it keeps getting better!
