Naama Bay was one of the first tourist areas of Sharm El Sheikh, developed around a sheltered sandy bay. It became the town's social centre, with hotels on the beach and a pedestrian promenade behind them.

By day, it is a base for snorkelling and boat trips; at night, its restaurants, cafés and shops fill with visitors.
