Which beach entry point is better for swimming in Sharm el-Sheikh — left or right side?

From the rooms, the most convenient way to the sea is via the right-side descent or right gallery: most of the route avoids stairs, with only one short side stair section remaining.

At low tide, the water on the right side of the pier near the staircase remains about neck-deep, so it is still possible to stand there.

There is a paid pontoon on the left; reports indicate that its staircase is more convenient than the other entry options.

There's another entry option near Tiran bar (opposite the dive center), via the pier. No long staircase needed — just a short wooden ladder from the pier down into the water. Less crowded, comfortable tiered sunbathing area.

Near the second staircase the water is shallow enough to stand. The third staircase leads to deeper water, but the bottom is clearly visible — good for snorkeling.

The elevator typically has no long queues and works smoothly for both going down and coming back up.

The left beach is situated on a plateau and requires descending a tall staircase to reach the water. There are no toilet facilities on this side.

The right beach is the more comfortable option: the entrance is at the bottom, and there are toilets and basic facilities available.
