Only five kilometers away from the old market and a short walk to the Il Mercato shopping district, the Hilton Sharm Waterfalls Resort rises from the beautiful Ras Um El Sid highland. The hotel’s name comes from the waterfalls that cascade down the seaside landscape along the unique glass funicular.

The Hilton Sharm Waterfalls is designed as a series of terraces descending down to the beach and commands stunning views from its elevated position overlooking the Red Sea.

Three cozy beaches with a colorful house reef and an abundance of red sea marine life are the perfect environment for both relaxation and adventure. The hotel has a private beach that overlooks a colorful coral reef and offers one of Sharm’s best snorkelling locations. You can ask for professional guides and equipment at the hotel’s dive center and there is a floating jetty that leads through the water to the edge of the coral reef, providing access to the swimming area. You can also have some quality time and read your book in the upper beach area while enjoying a spectacular view of the Red Sea and Tiran Island.



The seven swimming pools are spread out throughout the property: there’s a family pools, Chillax adult-only pool, health club pool, sea water pool and the children’s pool. Enjoy an exotic cocktail or a beer at the Chillax pool bar with underwater seating.

Hilton Waterfalls is a perfect destination for families. Kids can enjoy the children’s club, which offers toys, a TV, animated film screenings and indoor activities such as painting and handcrafts.
There is also a kid’s playground alongside the health club, and a garden with a grassy playground is available as well.

Guests with mobility difficulties need not worry: ramps are thoughtfully placed throughout the resort, in and around the lobby, main beach and main pool area. The funicular facilitate transportation from the lower to upper areas of the resort.

If you’re looking to relax, pay a visit to Zen Zone Health Center & Spa where you can select from the extensive treatment menu, reinvigorate with a workout in the fitness center, or get glam for a night out in Sharm El- Sheikh.

Food options are plentiful, with a variety of restaurants, cafes and bars offering local cuisine to international favorites. Ease into the morning or take an afternoon break at the Shalalat Café, offering breakfast pastries and desserts.

Looking for a heartier breakfast? La Cascade restaurant, with gorgeous views through floor-to-ceiling windows, serves up buffet breakfasts; later in the day check out the themed buffets featuring Oriental and Italian dishes and a choice of international wines and cocktails.

If you’re in the mood for grills and oriental specialties head to Paradise Reef Restaurant located by the main swimming pool and overlooking the beach or explore the authentic Bedouin experience at Shish Bish restaurant.

Sharm is all about the nightlife so after dinner dance the night away with the animation team who set the perfect party mood. Afterward, head back to your room for a good night’s sleep on the super-comfortable beds.
