Discover Sharm
Cleo Park Sharm El Sheikh
Pharaohs, Slides & Splashing Fun
After days of diving, desert safaris, and exploring Sharm's markets, there comes a moment when all you want is to cool off and let someone else do the entertaining. That's where Cleo Park comes in. It's a water park built around an Ancient Egyptian theme — and while that sounds like a gimmick, the theming is actually part of what makes it memorable. You don't just slide down a flume; you slide past Pharaoh statues and hieroglyphic-covered walls, like someone dropped a water park into a temple complex.
Cleo Park sits in the Nabq area, about 15-20 minutes north of Naama Bay. It's the largest water park in Sharm and caters to all ages — from toddlers who just want to splash in shallow pools to teenagers and adults chasing the adrenaline of the bigger slides. If your family needs a break from salt water and sand, this is where you go.
Slides, Pools, and Everything in Between
The park is organized around a collection of pools and slides that range from gentle to genuinely thrilling. There's a wave pool that cycles between calm shallows and gentle swells — perfect for floating and cooling off without the intensity of the slides. The lazy river winds around the perimeter of the park, a slow circuit that gives you an excuse to do absolutely nothing for as long as it takes to drift the full loop.
For those who want more speed, the body slides and tube slides deliver. Some are open to the sky; others are enclosed tubes that plunge you into darkness before spitting you out into a splash pool. The theming along the way — painted hieroglyphs, statues of Anubis and Horus, columns designed to look like temple ruins — makes the experience feel distinctly Egyptian rather than generic. The multi-lane racing slide is where competitive families settle scores.
The kids' zone is thoughtfully separated from the main thrill rides. Shallow pools, mini slides, and water features designed for small children mean parents can relax without worrying about older kids cannonballing into the toddler area. There are plenty of sun loungers and shaded spots around every pool, and lifeguards are stationed throughout the park.
"Cleo Park is exactly what you need on day four of a Sharm holiday — no sand, no salt, just cool water and slides that make you feel like a kid again. The Pharaoh theme is the cherry on top."
Facilities and Food
The park has all the essentials covered: changing rooms, lockers for valuables, and shower facilities. Lockers are available for a small fee and worth using — you don't want to leave phones or wallets unattended on a sun lounger. The park is clean and well-maintained, with staff regularly clearing tables and tidying the grounds.
Food options inside the park are casual and family-oriented. Think burgers, pizza, fries, and ice cream — the kind of menu that appeals to kids after hours of swimming. There's a café area with shaded seating where you can grab cold drinks and snacks. Prices are what you'd expect at a tourist attraction: higher than local restaurants outside the park, but not unreasonable. Some visitors choose to bring their own snacks, but outside food policies vary, so check at the entrance.
Planning Your Day: What to Know
| 📍 Location | Nabq area, about 15-20 minutes north of Naama Bay |
| 🕘 Hours | Typically 10 AM to sunset. Hours vary seasonally — check before going |
| 🎟️ Tickets | Entry fee covers all slides and pools. Family packages sometimes available. Prices are higher during peak season |
| 🧴 Essentials | Sunscreen (reapply frequently — the Sinai sun is relentless even through clouds), swimwear, towel, flip-flops, and a change of clothes |
| 🍔 Food | On-site cafés and snack bars. Budget for park prices, or eat a solid breakfast before arriving |
| 🚗 Getting There | Taxi from Naama Bay or Hadaba. Most drivers know the park. Negotiate the fare before getting in. Parking available if you're driving |
Arrive when the gates open. The first two hours are the quietest — you'll get the slides to yourself before the mid-morning rush. By early afternoon the park fills up, and queues for the popular slides can get long. If you're not a morning person, late afternoon is the second-best window. The park empties out as sunset approaches, and the temperature becomes much more comfortable.
Cleo Park doesn't try to be a world-class destination water park. It's something simpler and arguably more valuable: a fun, clean, well-themed place to spend a day when you need a break from the beach. For families with kids who've had their fill of snorkeling and sandcastles, it's a genuine highlight of the trip. The slides are fun, the theming is charming, and the relief of cool water on a hot Sinai afternoon is exactly what you came for.
