Sharm El Sheikh City Tour: Old Market, Mosque & Farsha Café

Discover the Sharm Sheikh City — an extraordinary adventure designed to bring you the authentic beauty, rich history, and timeless magic of Egypt with expert local guidance.

Our Sharm El Sheikh city tour begins with a relaxing, air-conditioned transfer from your hotel. The first stop is The Heavenly Cathedral, one of the most beautiful and artistic churches in Sharm El Sheikh. Enjoy a short guided visit with time for sightseeing and photos as your guide shares information about its unique interior, impressive wall paintings, and peaceful atmosphere. Next, we visit the breathtaking Al Sahaba Mosque, an architectural masterpiece blending modern design with Fatimid tradition. With its soaring minarets and detailed stonework, it’s one of the most striking landmarks in Sharm. Your guide will share its history and cultural importance, offering a true glimpse into local life and traditions. From there, you’ll dive into the lively atmosphere of the Old Market, also known as El Souk. This traditional shopping area is filled with spices, handmade crafts, textiles, souvenirs, and local products. It’s a perfect chance to bargain, explore, and take home authentic treasures. Next, we visit the iconic Farsha Mountain Café, set on a clifftop with sweeping Red Sea views. To avoid the long waits on the lower floor, we head straight to the second-floor terrace, offering quicker access, a relaxed vibe, and great photo spots. Please note: access to the lower floor is restricted. Children under 16 and single guests are not permitted in that area according to the café policy. We’ll spend about one hour here, with drinks and snacks available to purchase on site. These are not included in the tour price. Afterward, your driver will meet you at the agreed point for a comfortable transfer back to your hotel.
