Hi Kerry - Nabq is an up and coming area and is still in Sharm. It is about 10 min drive from the airport and about 20 to Naama. You can get on a minibus from here to Naama for 2le and all the way to Old Market for 3le as opposed to about £7 ( 70le ) each way by taxi.
There are quite alot of developments being built here. The prices are quite cheap here but are increasing all the time. There are 3 main malls called Jasmine Centre, La Strada and Al Khan where you will find lots of shops, bars, restaurants, banks etc. Colona watersport ( amongst others ) are based on the beach at Nabq. There are quite alot of hotels along here such as LTI Grand Azure, Frst Choice Holiday Village, Park Inn - see this map and click on the Nabq region
Sharm El Sheikh mapy i hotele
Basically it is very flat and it is on one main road with the beach to the right if you are heading from the airport and most of the developments and the 3 malls on the left - mountain side.
There is a new lounge called the Zone Lounge at La Strada and also St Georges Brit pub - where you can get 50% off food and drink if a resident - at Jasmine. Burgerking is in Nabq along with lots of others - they are attracting more known brands such as Puma, La Senza, Adidas etc.
Compared to Naama bay it is alot quieter - at the moment - and you do not get hassled half as much as you do in Naama and Old Market - which is worse than Naama.
The Coral at Nabq goes out quite along way and you need to access the sea via the jettys.
It tends to be a little cooler here - bit windier - which is welcome in the high heat.
Hard Rock will be coming soon as well.
