Sharm El Sheik, Egypt

For our honeymoon and after much deliberation and research we decided to venture to Sharm El Sheik and stay at the 5 star Ritz Carlton Hotel.

Well what can i say apart from amazing! The hotel was everything I had expected and more. The grand lobby was a huge spectacle in itself.

Once we checked in we were driven by golf buggy to our room. Again the room was fabulous from the marble floors to the massive bed.

We booked in for bed and breakfast where you could have anything from cornflakes to traditional Egyptian breakfast (and everything inbetween.)

The hotel grounds were immaculate and the pool was very luxurious and about 28 degrees! A huge plus point was the staff, very friendly, polite and great service.

Most of our days were spent relaxing, eating and snorkeling. I've never been snorkeling before and have to say it was the highlight of our stay. The clarity of the Red Sea and the amount of different fish and corals left me astonished.

The evenings were spent eating in various restaurants and drinking in the outdoor bars Naama Bay has to offer. Don't forget to grab yourself a bargain whilst you are there!! Overall I would highly recommend Sharm and will definately be returning.

Congratulations with you marriage! Egypt is much more than Hurghada and Sharm El Sheik. It is also the Peninsula, who has everything. The blue, sea salts, the endless sand and rock scenery and the many tall, mysterious mountains. During my first trip in Egypt I ended up in Nuweiba on the east coast of Sinai. Here I met Mousa Hassan, who are Bedouin. He has his own camp and organizes trips to the Coloured Canyon, the White Canyon, Ain Hudra (the little oasis in the desert) and many other places. You decide yourself if you want to go by jeep or by camel. At that time it was December and I had no time for a multi-day trip in to the mountains, although the desire was there. This summer I went to Nuweiba again and stayed in "Mousa Camp" located in El Duna between Nuweiba City and Nuweiba Port. Here I slept in a small bamboo hut by the sea. It was really a balsam for the soul to live here, where you could swim, relax, dive and enjoy the sight of the big moutains who surrounded Nuweiba and the view over to Saudi Arabia. It was wonderful to fall asleep to the gentle waes cluck and a star strewn sky. Overnight stay cost 20 EGP. For further 20 EGP I got breakfast, and for annother 60 EGP dinner. Both meals were big and wellprepared. If you want to cultivte silence and the primitive to full, you can go with Bedouins to the desert. I took a four-day trip with jeep where we ate and slept in the desert. It was summer and so hot that you just lay on a blanket on the ground and slept. Full moon casts a magical light across the desert, and it was wonderful to be in this big silence and the stars in the sky. When travellers are going around in the desert, they meet the Bedouins who live in their simple huts and keep goats and sheeps. It is customary to stop and drink a small glass of hot, very black tea with lots of sugar that can be offered by them. It is said that it would be good for your body with a lot of sugar, so you don´t seat so much and dehydrate. The food was good and I also experienced getting "tabana", which is a round, slightly thick wheat bread that is baked in the embers of the fire. Believe it or not, but there were not a single grain of sand that crunched between the teeth. You can easily arranged this travel yourself. Several agencies often have cheap flights to Sharm >El Sheik, and from there you can either choose to take the bus to
