People in Sharm El Sheikh are warm hearted.

A trip to Sharm el Sheikh to escape a few days in the heat between golden beaches and crystal clear sea. There are so many things to do and see while in Sharm. It’s is a strange little town, one long road really hugging the southern tip of the Sinai peninsula. Resorts; exotic and beautiful. The most amazing reefs I’ve seen – and I’ve been around. Delicate Arabic cuisine and music that pirouette and dance together.

The first thing to do, if you are planning a trip to Sharm el Sheikh, is definitely to choose the best resort.

There are beautiful ones, like those proposed by Alpitour. Impossible not to be able to find the most suitable for our tastes and our needs.

For example, I chose one in the centre of Naama bay, a stone’s throw from the beach and very close to shops and clubs.

The resort was beautiful it had an entertainment area, a big pool, a spa and a gym. It also had faculty of Snorkelling at the private beach, food that was quite good considering it was made for so many guests (sometimes resort food is sub par, but this was excellent. The resort was probably about half full). And how could it not be the best? Go carting, submarines to look at the fish, swimming with dolphins, snorkelling, water slides?

The underwater world

I haven’t seen a lot of places, if any, that have surprised me that much with the underwater world. I can still remember the colours and fishes that surprised me just after putting my head under the water. Fishes with colours and forms that seem unnatural and from out of space. Strips and points that change between colour and size from one type to the next. Green, red, blue, black, white, yellow and red – all colours surrounding me. The corals spreading through out the sea and while the sun shines on them they are put in a breathtaking light.

During the past years Sharm el Sheikh hasn’t had a lot of tourists and therefore the underwater world had time to recover.

This is what makes it even more attractive for travels now. In most places, even in such as the Maldives the corals have died of around the coasts and are grey and dry. In Sharm el Sheikh however they have gained back their colours and are very much alive.

And the people living in sharm el sheikh are warm hearted people, open and happy to discuss their country, culture and thoughts. They treat you with respect, but they expect the same from you.

Egypt is a beautiful country with so much culture and ancient history to explore.
