4 Best Nightlife in Sharm el-Sheikh and Red Sea Coast, Egypt

By night, the classical temple-like interior of the DuPort Lido is transformed into a cool lounge with views out across the marina. The venue has a pool; specializes in commercial, techno, and electronic music; and tends to attract a younger crowd (mostly ages 18 to 25).

Unlike most nightclubs and lounges along the Red Sea, which are mostly designed to mimic European nightlife, Elements is an American-inspired nightclub. From billiards and live sports up on the big screen to hosted DJs, vocal performances, and karaoke nights, Elements offers a little bit of everything. If you get hungry, the kitchen here serves American, Asian, or fusion dishes, and although most restaurants close at 11 pm, you can order from the special late-night menu until 3 am.

A sibling of the famed Paris Buddha Bar, this cool sushi bar and lounge by day transforms into a progressive music club with resident and guest DJs after 11:30 pm. And while nightlife lovers primarily come for the music and dancing, the sushi is actually really good.

The queen of Sharm clubs—favored by an under-30 European crowd—is an open-air venue with a top-notch sound system. DJs punctuate the musical rotation of funk, house, and trance with occasional chill-out sessions.
