Hello!! This blog is about Sharm el – Sheikh, which is a
city in Egypt. Though not many people have heard about this city, it is one of
the best places I have ever visited, which I was fortunate enough to visit
twice.
Sharm el – Sheikh, is a city in Egypt, on the coastal strip
along the Red Sea. It has a population of approximately 35,000. & it is a
part of Egypt’s Asian land, as Egypt is a transcontinental country.
The best time to visit Sharm el – Sheikh is during spring (March,
April, May) as it gets very hot in summer, it is also great to visit during
winter (December, January) as the temperature does not get too cold.
There are plenty of fun activities to do in Sharm el –
Sheikh, such as scuba diving, water surfing, water skiing, & swimming and
relaxing at the beach. There are plenty of fun cruises as well.
Not all activities in Sharm el – Sheikh involve water, Sharm
el – Sheikh also has an old traditional market that is great to shop around in
& find plenty of souvenirs of Egyptian culture, such as mini statues of the sphinx & the pyramids & plenty more other stuff!!
Sharm el – Sheikh is also one of the few cities in Egypt
that has a casino, however, local Egyptians are not allowed in it & you must
have a non- Egyptian passport in order to enter it, this is done in order to
ensure that the locals do not get addicted to gambling & waste all their
money.
At night many traditional shows & traditional Egyptian
festivals take place in Sharm el – Sheikh, which anyone is invited to watch.
The Egyptians are known for their traditional belly dancing & Egyptian folk
dance.
When it comes to food, the best dishes to have in Sharm el –
Sheikh are sea food, most known for the shrimps & fish! & also
traditional Egyptian food such as falafel & Egyptian Beans.
When it comes to hotels, there are plenty of hotels in Sharm
el – Sheikh, & the hotels range in prices depending on how close the hotel
is to the beach.
The hotel I would recommend going to is the continental
hotel, which is the one I stayed at when I visited in 2008. The hotel had a
great view, delicious food & amazing pools, one pool even had a bar in the
middle of it!!
The continental hotel was also great as it was fun to walk
around in, I wouldn’t have minded if I had just spend my entire holiday in the
hotel, as there were many things to explore in it!
& this was my blog about Sharm el – Sheikh, hope it was
helpful & gave you an idea of the place & encouraged you to visit it
one day =>
