Sierra Sharm El Sheikh Review 2026: All-Inclusive SOHO Square Excellence

Nestled against the stunning backdrop of the Sinai Mountains, I discovered that Sierra Sharm El Sheikh delivers exceptional all-inclusive value in a prime location at the heart of SOHO Square. This family resort spans 116,000 square meters of lush gardens, features eight swimming pools, and sits just steps from vibrant entertainment while maintaining a peaceful retreat atmosphere in my 2026 review.

Why It Stands Out

During my stay, I found that Sierra Sharm El Sheikh distinguishes itself through its unbeatable location in the center of SOHO Square – Sharm El Sheikh's main entertainment hub. Guests enjoy direct access to the square's shops, restaurants, bars, and attractions including an ice rink and bowling, with a valuable 25% discount on food and soft drinks at square establishments. This positioning creates a unique advantage where peaceful resort relaxation meets vibrant nightlife options.

What impressed me most was the resort's commitment to comprehensive all-inclusive value – the Akuna Matata food court offers Mexican, Italian, Egyptian cuisines alongside Chinese noodles and American burgers, all included in the package. The Mountain View main restaurant provides extensive buffet options with quality that guests consistently praise. The eight swimming pools, including water sports facilities for parasailing, windsurfing, and water-skiing, ensure aquatic activities for every preference.

The resort's proximity to White Knight Beach (5-minute walk or free shuttle) provides private beach access, while the location just 10 minutes from the airport and 6km from attractions makes Sierra an ideal base for both relaxation and exploration.
