Great vlog
Great representation of Sharm! I've been to Egypt 12 times, 6 times Shark and I love it the most, although every place is great!
About the hasslers; just say politely La, shukran and they'll say ok.
As a blond female I got a lot of them but they never really bothered me.
Thank you for this, I needed it more than I thought
💙
Hi Tim. You may like to know I showed Mohammed the boat captain this video. I told him he was famous in the UK. He was so happy and said he remembers you. Thanks for your videos.
Hello John,
I am a male from Egypt, but I have been living in Seattle, USA, since 1980. I have also spent some years living in London, Nottingham, and Birmingham. I wanted to reach out to you to express my admiration for your videos about Egypt. Your personality shines through your videos, and they are a pleasure to watch. I appreciate that you have an open mind about the country and its people, and you showcase Egypt in the best possible way. Your video editing skills are excellent, and you manage to keep your videos exciting, regardless of their length. Keep up the great work!
I've been to Sharm multiple times and just love it. I want to add a comment about the amazing friendliness and hospitality of the Egyptian people you will meet. Yes it will be predominately men, however as a solo female traveller they are always nothing but kind and respectful. Also, seeing how they interact with parents, and especially the children is fantastic. If you have young children don't be concerned by this familiarity - which can include picking the kids up and showing them a lot of positive attention. It's just the way people are in Egypt, and the Middle East in general..... kind, caring, respectful, and so very generous.
Btw the vendors will harrass you, but this has been their way of working for more than a hundred years (read Agatha Christie's Death on the Nile which also mentions it and was published in 1937).
For me - the #1 draw is the underwater world... however Sharm has so much to offer as your video shows.
Very good points
Are there many restaurants there?
Are there many restaurants
Kam: yes there are. I'm going to break this down below into outside, and inside, of the resorts. Here you go:
Outside: There are two main pedestrian areas which have many restaurants and fast food chains (KFC etc.). These are Naama Bay, and Soho Square.
The old market (souk) also featured in the video will also have cafes etc which are likely a bit more 'local' in feel.
There is also a huge restaurant/cabaret venue in the El Hadaba area of Sharm called Alf Layla Wa Layla (1001 Nights..... remember Ali Ba Ba and the 40 Thieves?). As well as food they have entertainment including belly dancing, and the whirling dervish etc.
Again do do back to my point above that when you're out and about you will likely be approached multiple times by restaurant, shop, stall vendors to go into their place. The best way to let this not annoy you is to make the decision not to be annoyed (haha) It is perfectly okay to just keep walking past, even if someone is still talking to you, and don't engage if you're not interested. You can even add a polite 'La Shukrahn' if you like (no thank you in Arabic).
Also, taxis to and from each location will be needed and are not the cheapest. If you don't want to barter/haggle a price then have the hotel reception to arrange a hotel for you, and you can arrange with the driver a pick up time and place for them to collect you and rake you back to the hotel. Bear in mind the price you pay outbound is only one way (I.e. you will have to pay the same amount on the return journey).
In the hotel: will have one or more buffet style restaurants for your All Inclusive package. They usually have a wide range of food and desserts, and alcoholic and non-alcohic drinks (hot and cold). Some hotels are better than others when it cones to quality and taste of food. Although you can never go wrong with Middle Eastern dishes. Most also have 'snack' and 'beach' bars open throughout the day. Snack bars often have cakes, sanwiches, ice-cream, and hot/cold beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic). Beach bars do chips/fries, burgers, pizza etc; again with the full range of drinks.
Most hotels also have a few separate 'A la carte' restaurants which are typically a dedicated type of food. E.g. Italian, bar-b-que/grill etc..
Most All Inc. Packages allow one or some visits to the A la carte restaurants for free during your stay. But outside of that you will have to pay. Do check what your All Inclusive package includes for visits to these as it varies from hotel to hotel, or chain to chain, and how long your stay is. For example, on a 7 night stay one hotel may only allow you a single free A la carte restaurant visit to one of their restaurants and you will have to choose which; whereas another hotel may have a better deal where you get at least one free visit to each of the resort's a la carte restaurants during your stay. The a la carte restaurants need to be booked in advance and this can be done at somewhere in the hote reception or your hotel room phone.
Honestly though... personally I have found that the food isn't really that much better than the All Inclusive buffet at the a la cartes i have visited. The only difference really being the table service, more intimate setting, and food presentation on the plates. But that's just my opinion/experience :)
Finally, do expect to come back from your holiday a few pounds heavier 😁😁
@@sarahwalton2662 i cannot thank you enough for this highly detailed reply.... ❤️🙏You're a gem... Most people would just answer with a "yes /no"
Thank you so much.!! Wishing you the best ❤️
You’re definitely deserving of more subscribers Tim. The variety of travel videos makes your channel so colourful and interesting. I’m never bored!
Thank you
I visited Sharm El-Sheikh and visited the Egyptian islands on the entire Egyptian Red Sea, and they have a wonderful and attractive nature, clean air, clear water and Egyptian coral reefs 🇪🇬❤
Never thought of Egypt as a beach holiday destination. Historical or cultural destination, yes. The beach looks lovely and the snorkeling wonderful. I'm from Canada, so my beach hols are a bit closer to home. Mexico or the Caribbean in winter and our own beautiful beaches in the summer. Very interesting to see this area of Egypt. Thanks for sharing.
Don't snorkel in these shark infested waters
Just back from a week of snorkeling at sharm el sheikh. The red sea is beautiful and the reefs at the doorstep of these resort are amazing.
@@ronniep9272 I lived and dived there for 2 years ....cool ? With a 3 month break from June as it is toooo hot , So f ...off. Nobody called you there . Don't go .
This beach is on the red sea .. it is nothing compared to the beaches they have up north on the Mediterranean, especially as you go west of Alexandria. Just google them .. better than the Carribean.
No ; hate being pestered by people trying to sell you stuff
Agree. I avoid resorts like that. Or ones where I’m hot and I need to go places that requires taxis and need to batter. Holds absolutely no appeal. I just want to relax. And see sights without the hassle of feeling I’ll going to be fleeced every corner.
Same, I went to Turkey and I absolutely fell in love with it too the point I went again 😂 but I was lucky enough to make friends who lived there and owned a bar/restaurant and offered us lifts, because the first half of the first holiday we done there, the taxi drivers were brutal, and even more so if they knew you had a few beers down you
Only good thing about Egypt is the sea
@@kerrymetcalfe2737 historical sites?
@@kerrymetcalfe2737 see history people sun everything
That shark attack down the coast put me off ever wanting to go in the sea again! Great vid as per 😊
Me too but it's like anything you wouldn't do anything ever again 😕
@@WalkWithMeTim Aye that's true!
Honestly tim youre on a track for amazing success in the future. Your content has been getting much more intricate and diverse with every video. Im loving your unique style of reviewing popular/unpopular destinations.
Great work, keep it up. Your videos really help me as i am unable to travel to these places!
Thanks so much and very kind of you to say
I agree. It's TV quality content and presentation.
Great video, Tim. Loved the underwater photography - the sea looks an incredible colour. And you're very brave - these places, as others have said, can be areas of high anxiety with the incessant pushy sales techniques. But we found the browner you get, showing how long you've been there, the wiser you are to their tricks - and they know it...and they leave you alone!😊
The peacefulness, diving, the bedouins, and view of the mountains all together spectacular.
This is one of your best Vlogs yet Tim! Everyone of them are so good, but this one seemed extra informative
Looks amazing Tim, it's stunning.
My grandma lives there half of the year 3 months at a time. She's there at the moment actually. She's been there for most of my life and I'm 17! I have been when I was very young. The people there are alright. Sharm used to be a very busy place! Shame the tourist population has gone down. Great video tho 👍
Great video looks like paradise. The water looks beautiful and even impressive under water, too also the buildings are just lovely.
It’s not somewhere I would go every year but I do enjoy it when I go. We were there in May for a couple of weeks and it was great. Guaranteed good weather and the service is always fantastic. The pestering by shop owners and taxi drivers really doesn’t bother me, just say “no thank you” and carry on with your day.
Agree
I was in Sharm in April & stayed in exactly the same hotel as you! Loved it there, the staff were brilliant. Also did my PADI at the hotels diving school. I really liked the walk down to the beach as it meant I could hey my steps in, which cosidering how amazing the food was, was a really good move!
I will definitely go back, as it was such amazingly good value.
WOW so looking forward to this Tim 😊👍🍀
Beautiful video! Thanks for sharing it ❤
Your filming is amazing especially considering you're on your own
Thanks .. the underwater shots took a while lol
Not been to Sharm but have been to Hurghada, Cairo, Giza and Luxor. I love the beaches on the red sea but hate the hassle you get off resort. Best to hire a guide and they deal with everyone for you.
Top tip, never walk into a perfume shop as part of an excursion.
This was one of the most entertaining vids you have ever made... seeing the markets and nightlife... interesting places and ways to travel about was spot on 👍
Beautiful!!! And super informative! Thank You!
LOVED all the snorkelling video. Just stunning! And that water…sigh….☺️ Thanks Tim! Another great trip with you! ❤
My pleasure!
Looks amazing always wanted to go to Egypt hopefully i will get to go soon might consider coming here thank you for sharing 🙂
Only recently discovered your channel when I was watching your Pontins blogs - I absolutely love your videos. I love watching travel blogs and yours are some of the best I’ve seen! What a job you have 👌
Wow thanks jason
We're actually in Sharm right now. This is our second year here. My husband and I were laughing at the "do not enter a shop, or the door will be closed and the family will come down." This happened to us last year- we entered a shop after being asked to go in, and he closed the door behind us. It was a bit scary, but he made us tea and showed us just about everything for sale in his shop. In the end, to make a getaway, we bought some (horrendously overpriced) camel milk moisturiser and a massive bag of loose tea leaves. The forceful approach is a bit much, but we learned our lesson and won't be entering this year 😂.
Yes you hear the stories but don't think it actually happens I was only in my 20's at the time with my girlfriend it was very nerve-wracking
We were in another country some 25 years ago, where some shop/restaurant owners had a similar sales ethic. We were lured into a restaurant on our first day...and he wouldn't let us leave! So we pushed our way out and he threatened to shoot us if he saw us again! But we walked past his place on a number of other occasions and he didn't recognise us. All talk..thank god!
That happened to my family in Turkey! We got locked in a carpet shop. They made us apple tea and tried to get my parents to buy a carpet. My brother and I weren't very old (I think I was about 8 and my brother 6) but my parents were forceful enough that after an hour, they not only let us go without buying anything, they took us on a small tour of the local mosque by way of apology. It was not my parents' first rodeo to be fair though and my brother and I were used to spending whole weekends in the travel agency amusing ourselves so it wasn't that different for us 😂
@karent4347 this wasn’t the called “Mike Tyson” the fragrance and spice shop hahaha
What do you do if you never carry cash - like me - I only ever pay by contactless. If a store doesn't take card then I don't shop there, or do all stores there now take card? A good way to get away with not buying at markets is to never carry cash.
Hi Tim ! Always been a bit unsure of Egypt. But it looks like it's nice, people seem friendly . Loved seeing all the beautiful fish and pure clear water amazing. Thanks for sharing with us. Love to you as always Tracey 💕 xxxx
Thanks Tracey
@@WalkWithMeTim Is Casper keeping you up ? X

Cheers
I appreciate that!o
Thank you so much I just want to tell you that I have enjoyed every minute of your video is like I’ve been there but I’ve never been so thank you so much. It looks amazing it’s such a lovely place
Nice detailed video Tim 👍
Tim I love your videos! I don’t know if you edit your own videos but the editing is fantastic and the arrangement is so good! Thanks for another great video! Keep up the good work 😊
That's very kind to say .. yes I edit all of them
@@WalkWithMeTim amazing job !!
👍🏼looks amazing Tim, my sister lived in S Arabia, visited there for holidays etc. was not sure it was safe again, but that’s great that it is.
Enjoy 🦘🌻🦘
Another top class vlog Tim. This channel is outstanding for variety and quality of the vids.
Much appreciated
Went to sharm twice. April this year and last year. Stayed in aqua blu. Not cheap but worth every penny. Flights are regular now.
Do get harassed to buy things and we got conned in a sim card but beyond that. The place is absolutely stunning. Love it
Agree
Shark el sheikh looks very pretty can't believe how clear the water looked, thanks for showing us loved the video.
Thanks sean
Thank you for showing the Soho Square. We also visited Egypt in 2006, December. And the Square was just opened for tourists. It's amazing how it has changed over the years. We liked the Savoy hotel pretty much. It is near the Soho Square.
Yes that's a very nice hotel
2006 is 20 years ago im sorry for your lost.
@@KevinColt please, be sorry for your English
@@chudotat Im sorry for youre lost
Great video, that water looks amazing!
Love the beautiful beach, warm, sandy beach n crystal clear water.. nothing to complain. I was there last year ❤❤
👍
What a great video of a beautiful country, thank you Tim.
My pleasure!
Wow you showed us so much. Thankyou. Best bit was seeing the dead sea with the beautiful sealife. I wouldn't mind some of Egypt right now!👍🏾
:-)
This is by far the best video ever recorded and uploaded to your channel.
Great work and lovely video 📸
Wow u think 🤔
I feel like I was actually there when I was watching your video, Thanks for the detailed tour.....
Those shop owners/sellers was pretty scary. But I know worser country's for them. Can not wait for your next videos :)
Hiya Tim, Egypt looks a great holiday place to visit,love snorkeling and so many beautiful fish and coral.your hotel looks good plenty of pools and near the beach,its be like turkey being asked all the time to buy but they are friendly.thanks for sharing your trip, take care.
Thanks Diane
Great video. Thanks for showing us Sharm!
Thanks for watching it :- )
@@WalkWithMeTim Of course looking forward to your next video
Tim enjoyed this video, was very interesting.
Great Vid Tim! Want to visit Egypt now :)
Thanks Tim amazing video
Brings back memories when I was last there back there 10 years ago
The only thing that annoyed me
Literally everyone trying to sell you anything and everything 😮
I know it won’t go away
I hope it ain’t as bad as it was
This is what I love about this channel! Taking us places I wouldn't feel safe enough to visit but want to see what it is like. Thanks Tim 👍 do you not feel sick in the heat?!
No just blomming to hot lol
All of Egypt is safer than most citiew in the West inc London and NYC and the major cities
@@hraslan I wouldn't feel safe in those cities either, it's my own anxiety aswel I think. I just personally feel nervous in new places.
@@sophierobinson6041i know a place you would never feel nervous .. google " Siwa Oasis "
It’s not safe especially for women you will get attacked or raped there like I did
That was great Tim. Wow you really get around. Would not have known it was so built up. Thanks for sharing
They always stop you to buy stuff from their shop but you handled it well Tim haha honestly. I guess its all part of the experience being there. I tried shisha it makes me dizzy not a fan but didnt know you will try it Tim.
Thanks for sharing 👍
The haggling is an annoyance something i wouldn't have patience for- the snorkling looked incredible!
Soho Square has vastly changed since I was there 10 years ago. Great video, Tim 👍👌👏
defo altho I struggle to understand what it actually is lol I know what they are trying to do but ...
I booked for April for my 40th next year & can’t wait! Great video, thank you for sharing!
Have fun!
what a great vid . they drove me insane i was cracking up i stayed in the nubian village hotel it was amazing hotel.
Fantastic video!incredible blue water!You’re a talented filmmaker and have a flare to entertain!
Your devoted fan from America
Thanks again Tricia
Thanks Tim, it brings back some memories. We had a boat trip to Tirana Island in 2015, when it was still open to public, we stoped for snorkeling at almost the same spot as you did near the shipwreck, and my little sun was given a chance to drive the boat a bit on the way back ;) Our hotel was the one with a lighthouse 11:06 , it was very inexpensive, but surprisingly good, and convenient (small territory, few steps only to the beach), and more importantly, it had one of the best coral reefs in Egypt. Later that hotel was sold to Sunrise hotels chain and now its name is Sunrise Remal Beach. We moved to Australia in 2017, and Egypt is out of reach for us now. Literally crying :(
Great video i have been asked to go to Egypt exactly where you are filming thankyou i truly enjoyed watching mych appreciated😊
Enjoy
Great job Tim. Appreciated. Very detailed and useful. Of course the coral is very pretty. Keep it up.
Glad you like it thanks
Travelled to Sharm in 2013 and it was the worst holiday of mine and my young family’s lives.
From the moment we landed it was harassment non stop until we got back on the plane to come home!
To top it all off, all four of us along with most of the hotel guests went down with food poisoning after the fourth day of fourteen.
We were prescribed Antinal which is banned in the U.K. and used only for animal use.
Such a shame as the sea life is undeniably some of the best in the world, as are the beaches and weather!
In Egypt or Turkey or many places outside the EU the best bet is to simply buy a local SIM card or a tourist SIM, which is preloaded with loads of data and is usually not very expensive. You can get them at arrivals in the airport or in some shops. Turkcell is best in Turkey, Vodafone usually best coverage in Egypt. I think in Egypt it is something like £7 for 10GB or £15 for 30GB which you'll probably never use even over a couple weeks of holiday. Reason why this is so great in Egypt is because Uber exists! In Hurghada, Cairo, Alexandria and a few other spots you can hit up an Uber- no haggling, no arguing or tips- just cheap taxis. Sharm has yet to have Uber so that's a shame but wait and see.
Or just chill on holiday without going on your phone all the time. Switch off!!! I’m 23 and even I try and do this
@@handsoffmycactus2958 We're not all orphans or North Koreans. It's useful being able to communicate with friends on the same trip, order a taxi, book a meal, use maps, or call for help when trapped upside down in a ditch in the middle of a foreign country. Just a small selection of examples why people might actually like to use their phones on holiday and not be judged for it by the holier than thou
@@handsoffmycactus2958😂😂😂😂 love it!
@@handsoffmycactus2958 That is such a dumb comment! I mean, you want SOME sort of communication, you're after all in a developing country...
Looks amazing beautiful underwater photography great video thanks tim. 👋👋
Glad you enjoyed it
Really enjoyed this stream Tim🎉 ty for sharing 🎉
Glad you enjoyed it
Brilliant video.
Have seen so many fantastic looking hotels, especially with huge water parks. The only thing that still puts me off is still the security aspect with the airports
It was very tight going back .. having said that I thought I'd test it and left all my liquids in my bag .. and no one noticed 🤔
Been to sharm a few times amazing place nabq and naama bay even took a day trip to see the pyramids lovely people shame I wouldn’t go again due to recent security issues but love the videos! Also went to that tgis when it was open one of the only few places that didn’t serve alcoholic drinks!
Great video Tim, I really enjoyed watching it. Thanks 🙂
Thanks Deano
Thanks mate, the underwater shots were lovly
Went in Jan 2010 on a lads get away, had a great time! Timed it perfectly as Egypt won the Africa cup of nations whilst we were there (the celebrations were insane) and just 12 months later the military took control of the streets!
I went there last week.
Don’t go at that coffee shop where he took tea!
The dude behind the counter is hateful and absolutely rude.
AVOID
Another great video 😊didn’t realise this place was back on the cards?!
Looking good 😉
Hey, it was nice to walk with you, dear Tim😃 We are going to have vacations in Sharm El Sheikh with my Mom and sister in July. Thank you for this wonderful trip 🤩😉
Thanks for watching
Hello Tim,what a nice place, water is so clear its awesome to see the fish,the nightlife is good to see and things to buy.the weather must be warm there.
Very warm
I visited ten years ago. The beaches are amazing but be prepared for food poisoning, the endless bargaining for everything is extremely annoying, and as a woman I was harrassed and catcalled all the time. Therefore the cons still outweigh the pros for going back. Unfortunately.
I love you Tim! best travel vlog on the planet! Thanks for all you do!
Ha thanks
Hi great video enjoyed seeing some of shark el sheikh I might give it a try I like the look of it 👏🙋🏼♀️🤙🏻
Wow 😳 I really like view in undersea really beautiful, definitely would like to visit Egypt ❤
It's beautiful
A lovely video Tim. Not sure I would go to Egypt. It does look lovely though. My favourite resort is Malta
It was a very good wish you were here blog today of you chilling out visiting sharm El sheikh to go swimming and chill out walks around the streets of sharm El sheikh Egypt tim
Lovely video Tim🎉❤
Interesting vlog Tim. I’m not a personal fan of beaches but even I can appreciate the stunning red sea.
Enlightening trip. Thanks for showing me somewhere i’d never otherwise visit.
Your presentation is top notch btw
Wow thanks rosey
Cant wait to see what its like in Sharm El Sheikh!
:-)
Been in Egypt twice last year, it was amazing trip, can’t wait to go back ❤❤❤❤
Fabulous vlog again, the natural world (the sea) excellent, but the constant hustling around the town and it seems everyone wants to rip you off , I couldn’t stand it. Keep up the good work Tim. Thanks x
Glad you enjoyed it glen
Very interesting and enlightening vlog, great hotel and seeing all the fish in the sea and boat trip. Makes you appreciate our driving laws after seeing Mohammed on the phone! Colourful at night, going for a quiet walk in town just isn't an option which would soon get annoying, but you are in their culture, not ours.
Visited about 10 years ago. Loved it but the hotel was full of Russians and of course a lot of Russian food. Staff were lovely though hated the Russians. Driving at night was scary as they don’t put their lights on !
You sure get around looks good man
Great video.. Now I can scratch Egypt off my travel bucket list.
Love this place! The beach and outdoor spaces are so interesting. Funny, the metal statues of Laurel and Hardy, we watched their shows as kids long after their heyday mid 1900s. Anyway Sharma al Sheik is now on my bucket list, thanks for the great video from Atlantic Canada!
Visited Sharm in 2012 and loved it (apart from the fish!). I remember the mosque although not it being so built up and also the Coptic Cathedral nearby too. Beautiful country and worth a vist (we were further up in Nabq Bay). Great video as always - brought back memories of a special holiday :)
What is wrong with the fish?
I go there for the fish! 😂
There is somthing about Egypt that gives me anxiety, everyone i know personally who has gone has absolutely hated it and some even came home early, your video has been some what of an eye opener for me, it looks absolutely beautiful, but there is just gut feeling in my tummy telling me i wouldnt like it 😢, i went to Turkey and absolutely fell in love with it, but it seems like all the things i was terrified of in turkey (mainly the strangers and shop owners approaching you and not taking no for an answer) seems to be 10xs more amplified in Egypt 😣 shame really, because it looks absolutely beautiful but i dont think its somewhere i could see my self going. On another note, your videos are absolutely fantastic tim, keep them comming 🤗
Wow how many people did u know went and hated it
@Walk With Me Tim good 4 or 5, one of which were my in laws, maybe one day I'll take the leap and just go, I felt really anxious prior to Turkey and I fell head over heals in love with the place so you never know 😂
I agree, I felt anxious just watching this.
The beaches and resorts look fabulous, but I picked up a sinister atmosphere about the place.
Not for me thanks.
@Kelley Woods yeah that's how I felt, it seems like you have to spend your entire holiday looking over your shoulder and try to not get every penny you own drained out of you 😣
@@kelleywoods5244it is evil and not safe many prostitutes scammers criminals love scammers and terrorist live there. I lived there for 6 months and now severely traumatized to what happened to me. Never again. Have to report the incident and leave
Looked nice, and good fun. Not cheap and that boat looked like it had seen better days
i like your viedeos
i can follow you very well
how you presented this documentary is very calm
Great Video Tim, the sea looks fantastic and the town at night looks great. Only problem is I can't stand being hassled, walking around shops etc. Don't want to be put in a bad mood on holiday haha and I like to look in the shops as well and being hassled just spoils it. Be interested to know it they do that to the locals, bet they don't, just the tourists. Would rather go Greek islands or Spain myself, the sea in Rhodes is great 🥰
As always such a good travel log. Not my cuppa tea at all though Tim. Give me good old fashioned Blighty with candy floss, funfairs and fish and chips any old day of the week! But really good editing and filming as always and the fish were spectacular with the Snorkelling thrown in as well! x J x
6:52 'Music' 😂 Superb video as always! Keep 'em coming mate! Loving it!
Thanks
I laughed hard at that one 😂😂. That was a Quran recitation and it's not copyrighted so fret not my friend
Really great video looks like a great place for a holiday. I was a bit worried you would get sun burnt but thankfully you didn’t
Greetings. Ibrahim in Canterbury UK here. I am British, Canadian...and Egyptian! Yes seriously. Born in Cairo but left at age 18 months. Have not been back for a visit since 1987, so your video holds quite a fascinating for me. Interesting the number of "Mohamed's" in your video, as my father's name is Mohamed, as is my middle name. I can still speak Arabic almost fluently, though never learned to read of write it. Still have lots of family in Egypt. Anyhow, watching this right now as I type, totally fascinated. Your night time footage was a huge eye opener for me! I could not believe how modern it all looks.
I have been subscribed to your channel for quite some time, after watching a video you made regarding Christmas in Bournemouth. This is quite a contrast...and in my country of birth too!
Enjoy the rest of your stay, hope my fellow Egyptians treat you well and safe travels back to Blighty.
Merci & Shokran!
Ibrahim in Canterbury
I'm glad I brought back some memories for you
Hello Sir, I'm glad to read your story I wish you could make it to visit your friends Naguib sawiras and Mo Salah are waiting you here to have some fun in El Gouna or Marassi you will have nice time there, you will feel like you are 18 again 😂,
cheers 😉
I went there in 1976 while a kibbutz volunteer, it was the done thing to go travel down to Elias and the Red Sea. It was a good place to aim for as there were a couple of places you could get water there. I think maybe one or two Hotels. It's been amazing watching it grow over the years and revisiting on diving holidays.
Wonderful, Tim. Very informative.
Glad you enjoyed it!
