Sharm El Sheikh@ Rea Sea, Egypt

Woohoo!!!! I am surprised when i found out there is this beautiful beach in Egypt. It is a famous beach getaway for Europeans but they did not advertise about it in Asia. There are 70% Europeans, 20% Egyptians, 15% Americans and 5% Asians. It is called Sharm El Sheikh@Red Sea near SUEZ. I love this place so much that i think it is better that Gold Coast a lot!!!!

This is the bus that i am travelling from Cairo to Sharm El Sheikh for 8 hours.
They call it 5 stars coach by putting 5 stars stickers on the door -_-


Ahhhhh! Finally i reach Sharm!!! They taxi driver charged my 30 LE for just 5 minutes drive. (which normally i pay 5 LE in Cairo for 5 minutes drive). Well i just need to get to my Hotel anyway since i not sure about the distance at first. This is a really nice and comfortable hotel with full of Europeans only!!


The bottom unit is my room that facing the swimming pool.

Of course after checking in the hotel, i head straight to the beautiful beach!!! It was really a new experience by seeing desert and sea with no greens.
I can see some corals on the shore


The water is clear enough that i could see fishes on the float platform.An ice cold beer is the best combination with the hot and sunny weather on the beach.

The first night was so tired that i just chilled in the hotel at night and get ready for tomorrow's big day for diving.

Yes!! i am departing to Tiran Island for Diving & Snorkling.

Getting ready to dive!!!

25 minutes later.................................
Friends from Poland. Opps i forgot their names!!!

When night comes, everyone in Sharm El Sheikh will gather and hill out in Naama Bay. This street is so nice and interesting. As you can see, there were many sofas of tables along the streets for you to enjoy drinks and Shisha!!!

I purposely tried out this Chinese restaurant and it sells pork dishes which you hardly find it in Cairo. Taking chinese food and beer in overseas makes me think of the days in Adelaide. ( Yes, the blacky dishes is pork spare ribs. Well i know is common but i didnt have pork for 2 months plus)

Overall i love this trip so much that i don't feel like going back to Cairo anymore but work commitment tied me down. I still have many more to enjoy in Sharm El Sheikh such as desert biking, desert jeep cruise and visit the canyon rocky moutain. :(
