Updated August 9, 2023

When holiday makers decide to visit the North African country of Egypt, they are often drawn by the countless historical wonders from the Ancient Egyptians and the fantastic opportunities for diving and snorkeling. The nightlife may not always be their first concern, however the onset of tourism has brought with it many purpose-built resorts which fully serve the needs of those looking for a lively edge to their holiday.

Sharm El Sheikh

Sharm El Sheikh, located on the tip of the Sinai Peninsula, is one of the most popular areas of Egypt as it brings another dimension to the sun, sea and sand holiday. Due to the widespread nature of Sharm El Sheikh, it encompasses a series of smaller or sub-resorts each boasting its own style and tempo ensuring the needs of all holiday makers are attended to.

Naama Bay

The liveliest of these sub-resorts is Naama Bay which is the home to most of the late night activities. The clubbing scene in Naama Bay is extremely lively with many tourists flocking to the Echo Temple for the house and techno parties or the Sanifar Hotel for House Nation. It is not only clubbing which is popular in Naama Bay as there is also many Egyptian-themed events, disco’s, belly dancing and folk music to keep holiday makers entertained in the evening and through the night.

Naama Bay is also the sub-resort which provides the majority of the best restaurants and shopping facilities. Holiday makers will also often explore the famous Sheesha cafes which can be found in this area.

El Gouna

Not all of the nightlife in Egypt is centred on Sharm El Sheikh, as the purpose built island resort of El Gouna is a favourite for those looking for nightlife and entertainment. The two hubs of nightlife in the resort are Kafr el Gouna and Abu Tig Marina which both offer countless options ranging from cosy pubs, trendy bars, the open air Palladium disco, Aladdin’s Casino, karaoke cafes and countless beach bars.

Favourites in El Gouna include Mangroovy Beach, the Club House and Studio 52 where live concerts, beach parties and exhibitions are frequently held. It is not just the partygoers which are catered for in this resort as there are also many cocktail bars promising a more intimate atmosphere for couples.

The resorts springing up in this holiday destination ensure that those on Egypt Holidays are spoiled for choice with countless options for nightlife as well as the more traditional offerings of the country.
