Anywhere worth a visit in Sharm El Sheik?

I'm currently in Sharm El Sheikh on holiday - anyone know of anywhere worth a visit for 'genuine' watches ???

Having been there once, I doubt you can find Rolex there...

i reckon there must be better places to find a rolex store but you can never know. i'd rather focus on the underwater world, it is really stunning.

I have not been there since 95 but would definitely suggest you head north a short bit to Naama Bay. Beautiful area. Back then the Movenpick was the hotel to be.

Worked in Sharm Red Sea diving college as a dive guide instructor but last time I was there back in 2002 plenty of gold jewellery shops around Naoma bay but no high end watch shops then.

I got my certification at the Red Sea Dive College in 1996 while I was there. Good times and I hope you enjoy your trip.
