Sharm el Sheikh isn't just for beach bunnies and culture vultures. Once the sun goes down, Sharm el Sheikh lively resorts spring into life with bars and night-clubs, discotheques and casinos, all open from sundown to sunrise or even 24 hours a day. Cosmopolitan Sharm el Shiekh has the lions share of night-clubs and bars, with all their international hotels competing to put on the most spectacular shows.

If you want to hit the dance floor, you'll be looking for discotheques. But if you'd rather let someone else do the dancing for you, go to a night-club. They entertain you with their live shows while you eat, drink and chat the night away.

But it's not all noise and mayhem. If your idea of night-life is more cultural, you can go cruising down the Nile at sunset or beneath the glittering stars. Otherwise, you can immerse yourself in Egypt's traditional coffee-house culture by sampling a fruity, bubbly shisha pipe or by tasting sumptuous Egyptian and Lebanese dishes.
