Seasonality is a concept that is well studied and documented in the tourism literature. Seasonality causes the fluctuation in tourist and visitor numbers to a destination. Sharm El-Sheikh is distinguished with its dramatic landscape, it contains a variety in the marine life species and lots of companies have been attracted to invest in Sharm. This paper aims to identify the economical, environmental and sociocultural effects of tourism seasonality in Sharm el-Sheikh, also it aims to suggest techniques to overcome seasonality or reduce its impacts. To achieve these objects, two types of questionnaire have been used as follow: sales manager questionnaire and tourism workers questionnaire. They have been distributed to 90 hotels in Sharm EL-Sheikh. The results of the research indicated that the negative impacts of tourism seasonality exceeded the positive impacts and the Russian Airplane crash was the most impulsive incident on tourism in Sharm El-Sheikh and the sample study gave lots of recommendations and techniques to overcome seasonality.
