About the resort
Nabq Bay, located at the northern tip of Sharm El Sheikh, is a tranquil and ecologically rich destination that offers a blend of natural beauty and modern amenities. As part of the Nabq Protected Area, it is renowned for its diverse ecosystems, including mangrove forests, coral reefs and desert landscapes. Swimming and snorkelling are popular activities, and a shuttle bus takes you into the area of Naama Bay for those that wish to explore further afield.
Poolside or beachfront
The Aurora Oriental offers a great beachfront location, a choice of pools (1 heated in the winter), a spa* (*treatments at an extra cost), sports facilities and a choice of bars. If you fancy a change to the pool, the private sandy beach offers stunning views over Tiran Island and a cool beach bar. Shops, bars and restaurants are a short walk away if you'd like to get out and about.
More to explore
If you'd like to explore the surrounding area, consider visiting Egypt’s first national protection park—Ras Mohamed, taking a White Island boat trip with the chance to see marine life from the Aquascope Submarine, or enjoying a city tour of Old Sharm.

Essential Details
It is important to consider whether this holiday is suitable for your level of fitness, mobility, and any medical conditions. We are committed to making reasonable adjustments wherever possible. Please tell us about any disability, medical condition, or additional requirements before booking so we can assess whether we can safely and appropriately accommodate your needs. If you are unsure whether this holiday is suitable for you, please contact us before booking. We will be happy to discuss the holiday requirements and your individual circumstances.
Transfer time
The transfer from Sharm El Sheikh airport to the hotel is approximately 20 minutes.
Currency
Egyptian Pound
There is currently a shortage of Egyptian Pound in the UK, so sterling may be exchanged on arrival at travel bureauxs in the airport or many hotels will exchange sterling also.
Gratuities
There is often confusion on the question of gratuities, since it frequently depends on the type of holiday, location and, of course, your attitude towards tipping, as to what is normally expected. In order to give you a rough idea, we have given appropriate guidance below. Your Tour Leader will be on hand to offer advice or suggestions if required but gratuities are offered entirely at the sole discretion of the individual. We suggest a group collection to cover drivers, porters and hotel staff of $20.00.
Your Tour Leader will collect this on your behalf and distribute it accordingly, thus relieving you of the burden of who, when and how much to tip. The tipping of housekeeping will be left to your individual discretion (a small amount left in your room on departure should cover this and would be much appreciated). As is customary, ‘the hat’ will be passed around for the driver and guide on all optional excursions. For any meals that are not included in your itinerary, or taxi fares, your Tour Leader can advise of an appropriate % to add on.
Optional Excursions
Please note:- Optional excursions are not guaranteed, are based on minimum numbers and bookable locally. The prices quoted are guideline only and may involve other non-Solos holiday makers. Other tours may be offered locally.
Half day - Ras Mohamed - Currently £35

Currency
Egyptian Pound
Some shops accept credit cards or Sterling for larger purchases. There is a surcharge in most places for using a credit card of 3% to 5%, throughout Egypt. In the bazaars, and smaller shops, dollars or Egyptian pounds cash will only be taken. For ease we recommend that you pay by cash for any optional excursions. Credit cards are NOT accepted. US dollars, Sterling and Egyptian pounds can be used at the Duty Free shop. We also recommend you bring with you a good amount of cash Sterling as cash point machines are not easy to find especially during the Nile Cruise. Cash money can be easily exchanged to Egyptian pounds in Egypt and you get a better exchange for the sterling in Egypt. You can pay cash (any currency) or by card on board. We recommend that when travelling to Egypt you call your bank or credit card company to inform them of your trip so they do not block your cards.
Passports and visas
Visas
British passport holders travelling to Egypt normally need a visa.
Visa on Arrival (recommended)
You can get a visa on arrival by payment in Sterling, US Dollars or Euros; the visa fee is US$30 at approved bank kiosks within airport arrival halls, before reaching immigration counters. Visas granted on arrival are valid for a maximum of 30 days.
You may also get a visa from an Egyptian Consulate outside of Egypt before you travel. British nationals travelling to Sharm el Sheikh, Dahab, Nuweiba and Taba resorts for up to 15 days receive a free entry permission stamp upon arrival. If you intend to travel out of these areas or stay longer than 15 days, you must get a visa. If you have travelled to one of the South Sinai Red Sea resorts, entered without a visa and your plans have changed, you can normally purchase a visa at Sharm el Sheikh Airport to allow you to travel elsewhere.
Applications for visa extensions should be made at Egyptian Passport and Immigration Offices. You may have difficulties leaving Egypt with an out of date visa. You will not normally be allowed to leave without paying a fine if your visa is out of date by more than 14 days. For further information and enquiries, contact the Egyptian Consulate in London. Your specific passport and visa requirements, and other immigration requirements are your sole responsibility and you should confirm these with the relevant embassies and/or consulates of the countries in which you are planning to travel.
