Me and my wife took a cab trough the Sinai desert - a 500 km ride! - from Sharm to St: Catherines Monastery and then to Dahab for shopping and back to Sharm and I paid the cabdriver 450 Le (50 Euro).
We started at 8 and returned at 17 in the evening.
This was amazing! I will never forget it, Camelcaravans in the desert, mountains sand, oasis, marvelous views. This ride will stay in my mind forever!!!!! Leave a Comment

Shark's Bay is a cosy little bay bustling with life about half-way between the airport and Naama Bay.
On the west side of the bay are sun umbrellas, sun beds, toilets, showers and a snack restaurant operated by Pyramisa Hotel directly above.
At the other end are more litte restaurants, sunbeds and umbrellas though not quite up to the same quality.
In between is a row of kiosks with souvenirs, and a jetty with boats operating dive excursions, snorkeling trips, water skiing, para-gliding and even pedalos.
The snorkeling here all the way around headland is excellent with lots of colourful and very friendly fish. Leave a Comment

One of the most memorable things about Sharm El Sheikh is the beautiful desert sunsets. At around 5.00pm-5.30pm every night you should spend this time to watch the sun go down over the sea and desert. It looks absolutely breathtaking and also you can get some fabulous photos too.
We used to go to the rooftop of our hotel and have a drink and peacefully watch the sunset. It was also very romantic hehe.
You can enjoy the sunsets however you like, you can go down to the beach and enjoy the view, sit on the rooftop of your hotel, go into the desert and ride a camel or horse and even go quad biking.
Whichever way you choose to do it, its guaranteed to be memorable.
Enjoy!

You'll see some gorgeous sunsets in Sharm El Sheikh - whether you choose to do your sunset-watching on one of the *many* sunset excursions on offer, or just quietly watch the sun go down over the desert mountains of Sinai in a slightly more peaceful setting than together with 20 other tourists on an organised trip... :o) The picture was taken during an evening walk just outside Naama Bay.
There is of course a whole array of sunset excursions available - you can ride a horse, a camel or a quad (!) into the sunset (quads are four-wheeled motorbikes / ATV's), climb Mount Sinai in time to watch the sun go down over the desert, sit in a bedouin camp sipping mint tea while watching the sunset followed by a belly dancing show - you name it... Just stop by any tour operator in Naama Bay or elsewhere in Sharm for details and offers. :o)
(And it's "always" sunny in Sharm, so you can see the sunset every single evening...;o) Leave a Comment

Below is a picture of Sharm Reef Beach - typical of the many little coves and beaches surrounding Oum el Seid Hill in Sharm el Sheikh.
Not much sand, no play area for kids and a bit of a climb... but ...
the water's super clean and great for snorkeling ! Leave a Comment

Well, first of all, they don't have 'p' , they say 'baba' instead of 'papa'...lol.... they have 'bebsi' instead of 'pepsi' ...lol :D
And here you go a little voc for the general development and , i think, it'a matter of politess to be able to say a few words of the country you're staying in :-)
So :-))))
First of all:
'shoukran' - thank you :-)
'shoukran kteer' - thank you very much :-)
'salam' - that's for either 'hello' or 'byessss' :-)
'amel eih?' - that's 'how are you?' for the man
'amla eih?' - that's the same for the girl
'tamam hamdollelah' - that's what they'll be happy to hear in response :-)))) 'good thank you God' :-)))))
'sabah el khaira'- good morning
'sabah el nour' - also good morning ('nour' means 'light'...they have looots of expressions concerning this point :-))) )
'mosaa el khaira' - good evening
'tamam' - means 'OK'
'mashy' they use for 'OK' , but very very willingly :-)))) Leave a Comment

In an one-day excursion from Sharm you can visit the coloured canyon north-west of Nuweiba.
You descend in the canyon at a rather easy, but steep path (picture 5).
When you are down between the narrow and steep walls of the canyon, you have shade (picture 2). So the walk in the canyon is rather pleasant. There is only one surprise, where you have to go down into a kind of hole without seeing the bottom at the other side. With the help of the guide, guiding your feet, everybody can make this.
The colours at the walls are wonderfull, they look like artworks, natural paintings in red, yellow, grey, brown and other colours (picture 3 & 4). Leave a Comment

The landscape of the Sinai Peninsula is full of contrasts. So, it is very interesting to go around and notice the geological differences. I di for 6 days and couldn't get enough of the impressive landscape.
The variety in colourfull desert planes, barren mountains, rocks of sandstone and granit, deep wadis and lovely oases with many palmtrees is impressive.
For more information see my Sinai Page, the world of rock, sand, solitude and silence. Leave a Comment
