Current trends: Nabq Bay's Soho Square has drawn Sharm's dining scene upmarket with entertainment-focused venues, while conservation-conscious diving operators are pushing sustainable reef tourism as coral protection becomes a bigger part of the resort's identity.

Nabq Bay — A newer, more upscale district with protected mangrove forests, coral reefs, and Soho Square's entertainment-focused dining.
