The Nabq area is located at the northern end of Sharm El Sheikh, and features numerous hotels, a beach, golf course, and snorkeling spots along Nabq Bay. One can do a quite decent run along the Coast Rd., which goes along the beach and in front of numerous hotels. It’s 5 km from the south end near the Spa of Nubian Island to the north end near the Barceló Tiran Sharm hotel. There are water views along a good part of the way. It’s less landscaped and shaded than the promenade along Naama Bay, but it’s longer!

NOTE: We’ve heard that some of the area hotels close off access to the Coast Rd. Please be aware that this might affect how much you can run in this area!!  [November 2022]

Add-Ons: One can also run on the main roads that run around the hotels (El Salam, El-Sheikh Zayad St.). Also, some of the resorts in Nabq are large enough to have their own self-contained pedestrian ways, particularly around the Nubian Island area.

Essentials
  • Up to 5.2 km (3.2 miles) one-way

Went for this run from “Albatros Laguna Vista” unfortunately the resort “Rixos Premium Seagate” closed the costal road as you can see in the picture. They also have a fence until the water. This left me with piece of ~3km. 1 hour before sunset it was mostly in the shadow. In the morning however it was very much in the sun. I enjoyed that there was no cars any just few other people on the track.
