ras um sid hill is really cool,. thats were i stayed the last time i was there, my hotel wasnt the best, it was a budget travel hotel which means its not really as good as the rest of the more expensive hotels but i didnt go to sharm to stay in the hotel so not a bother there
there is a couple of fake sandy beaches and then the natural dead reef rock but the snorkling is absolutly brill and the diving off the shore even better, i seen a couple of tuna fish hunting around and a nice neopolian wrasse too but a little bit small, i would go back to these beaches every time i go to sharm, highly recommended is the reef beach up by the soly mar sharming in, just ask a taxi man to bring u, there is a nice fake sand beach but the reef is magnificent, theres a big gap with some stone stairs carved out and a steel ladder a shallow reef flat about 6" from the rocks to a drop off with a shear drop to what seems like no bottom, really lovely with royal angels lion fish and a million antias well worth the 10 le taxi ride if u stay at the ritz carlton,pay only 10 le hahah
