The Coptic Christian's Christmas is synonymous with Egypt, and so by extension Naama Bay in January plays host to religious celebrations. As aforementioned, scuba diving is one of the famous activities in Naama Bay. Camel Dive Club offers various kinds of diving experiences including boat diving, express speedboat diving and diving courses as well. The diving excursions normally commence from Sharm El Sheikh Jetty to SS Thistlegorm and SS Dunraven World War II shipwrecks.

A visit to Naama Bay would not be complete without setting your foot on the famous Mount Sinai, a place of great significance, especially according to the bible. Mount Sinai is only 3 hours drive from the resort, too.

Top accommodation is plentiful with hotels such as Stella Di Mare Beach Hotel & Spa offering excellent facilities and service. Naama Bay caters for package holidays in particular; independent, budget travellers will be better off looking in Shark's Bay, which is 12km to the northeast, in terms of finding cheaper accommodation.
