6Apr Sharm El Sheike, Egypt

At the southern tip of Sinai peninsula, Sharm El Sheike is located.
This is the place for middle Eastern rich and famous people hangs.
Unfortunately, we were here only for few hours.
Our ship anchored around 7am and left at 1pm.
Renee and we were going to go to one of the resort hotels in famous Naama Bay and chill out at the pool side.
But, we were convinced by Egyptian taxi driver Ali who is originally from Cairo to keep the taxi for 3 hours.
He was pleasant enough to change our mind.
We were driven to few look out points where crystal clear water and the beautiful beaches are stretched alongside luxury resort hotels.
Huge mosque and big Catholic church were also introduced to us.
There was a giant TV screen inside the church where the Pope was servicing the Easter and we left just before 5000 Muslims were rush in for the special pray in the mosque.
Sadly, we only have one hour left in Naama Bay after that.
It was a lot better than I expected.
Could not believe this place is still in Egypt.
Shops, bars and restaurants are so exotic and unique that it would be so beautifully lit up in the night.
There are hundreds of beach resort hotels bars just stone throw away from the sand and water.
They are all nicely landscaped and decorated.
Surely, I will have to place Sharm El Sheike on my list to come back.

Camel ride would be fun!




Big shopping mall where lights will make it look fantastic at night time



Inside the mall where the performances of Arabian Nights will be on every night.



Sorry to miss this as we sailed out at 1 pm :-(
